Create categories

How to create categories in Slotlify

In Slotlify, you can create categories and assign them to your services. This helps you organize your offers more clearly and makes it easier for your customers to find suitable events in the catalog.

A category can be, for example, Sport, Yoga, Dance, Workshop, Health, or Training. When you create services later, you can select the matching category.

This allows your customers to search more specifically in the public catalog and filter events by category.

Open the categories section

To create a new category, first open your dashboard.

Then go to:

Services > Categories > + Add new

The page for creating a new category will open. Here you can add an image, the category name, and a description.

Upload a category image

In the Category image section, you can upload an image for the category.

Drag the image file into the upload area or click the area to select a file from your computer.

An image can help your customers recognize the category more quickly. This is especially useful if you have several different types of offers.

Use a clear and suitable image. The file may be up to 1 MB in size.

Enter the category name

In the Category name field, enter the name of the category.

Examples:

• Sport
• Yoga
• Dance
• Workshops
• Wellness
• Personal training

The category name is required. Without a name, the category cannot be saved.

It is best to choose a short and clear name. Your customers should immediately understand what type of offers belong to this category.

Add a description

In the Description field, you can briefly explain what the category is about.

Examples:

All sports offers and training sessions.

Courses for yoga, relaxation, and mobility.

Workshops and seminars for groups.

The description is also required. It helps you structure your categories more clearly internally and gives your customers additional orientation.

Save the category

Once you have entered all information, click “Create category”.

The category will then be saved and will be available when you continue setting up your services.

You can then assign the category to suitable services. Events created from these services can then be sorted and filtered more easily in the catalog.

Edit a category later

You can update a category at any time later.

If your offer changes or you want to improve a category name, open the category again and edit the fields you want to change.

After making changes, click “Update category” to save your adjustments.

Cancel the entry

If you do not want to create or edit the category after all, click “Cancel”.

In this case, your entries will not be saved and you will return to the previous section.

Why categories are important

Categories help you organize your services clearly. This is especially useful if you have several different offers.

Instead of showing all events in the catalog without structure, you can group them by topic. Your customers can then filter, compare, and find the right offer more quickly.

This makes your catalog clearer, more professional, and easier to use.
