Turn your category list into a designed shop experience
Replace the default text sidebar with a dedicated, image-rich category page featuring six curated layouts, live catalog sync, hierarchy, search, and sort — no coding required.
Default Odoo eCommerce stores show categories as a plain vertical text list. Customers get no imagery, no product counts, and no sense of hierarchy — the first decision point in a shopping journey looks unfinished, especially for stores with large or nested catalogs.
Website Category Page replaces that list with a dedicated, auto-syncing category page. Six curated layouts, image tiles, product counts, and drill-down hierarchy turn category browsing into a designed part of the shop — configured once from Website Settings, no code required.
Everything a category page needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Dedicated Category Page
A purpose-built /shop/categories page replaces the flat sidebar list, giving every category its own image tile, product count, and description on one browsable screen.
Six Curated Layouts
Choose grid, list, masonry, banner, icon grid, or carousel from Website Settings. Every category page instantly re-renders in the new style — no template edits needed.
Hierarchy with Breadcrumbs
Parent categories drill down into their children with a full breadcrumb trail, so nested catalogs stay easy to navigate instead of being flattened into one list.
Automatic Catalog Sync
The page re-queries your product categories on every request. Add, rename, or remove a category and the page updates immediately — nothing to rebuild by hand.
Search & Sort
Visitors can search categories by name and sort by featured order, name, or product count, so large catalogs stay easy to scan.
Live Product Counts
Each category tile shows how many published products it contains, giving shoppers a sense of catalog depth at a glance.
Per-Card Element Toggles
Independently show or hide the image, product count, description, and call-to-action button on every category card from a single settings screen.
Hover Animation Presets
Choose overlay, 3D zoom, border glow, or glassmorphism hover effects, or turn animation off entirely with the reduce-motion toggle for motion-sensitive visitors.
Drag-and-Drop Showcase Snippet
A Category Showcase snippet drops straight into the website editor, so category tiles can be placed on any page, not just the dedicated category page.
How it works
Install & Configure
Install the module, then open Website > Configuration > Settings to pick a layout, column count, and which card elements to show.
Browse the Live Page
Visit /shop/categories to see every published category rendered as image tiles with counts, descriptions, and drill-down links.
Customize the Look
Switch layouts, spacing, and hover animation any time — the page updates immediately, with no template editing.
Drop the Snippet Anywhere
Drag the Category Showcase snippet onto any page from the website editor for a quick category highlight outside the dedicated page.
See it in action
Six curated layouts, hierarchy, search, and settings — captured on a live demo store.
The default grid layout on /shop/categories, showing published categories as image tiles with product counts.
Drilling into a parent category shows its child categories with a breadcrumb trail back to the full list.
The built-in search box filters categories by name without leaving the page.
The list layout renders each category as a horizontal row with image, description, and count.
The masonry layout flows category tiles into balanced columns for a magazine-style browse.
The banner layout uses tall, image-led cards with an overlay for a bold visual presentation.
The carousel layout scrolls categories horizontally, with full touch support on mobile.
All layout, column, spacing, animation, and visibility options live in one Website Settings block.
Frequently asked
Which Odoo edition does this work with?
The module works on both Odoo Community and Enterprise and integrates directly with the native website_sale eCommerce module — no other dependencies required.
Do I need to edit code or templates to change the layout?
No. Every layout, column count, spacing, animation preset, and card element is configured from Website > Configuration > Settings and applies instantly.
Will the page stay up to date when I add or rename categories?
Yes. The category page re-queries your product categories on every request, so new, renamed, or removed categories appear automatically with no manual rebuild.
Can I place category tiles somewhere other than the dedicated page?
Yes. The included Category Showcase snippet can be dragged onto any page from the website editor for a quick category highlight.
