How To Create A Category
What Are Categories?
Categories allow you to group related packages on your Tebex Store—for example, “Ranks,” “Cosmetics,” or “VIP Perks.” Categories also control visibility, upgrade behavior (cumulative pricing), and other advanced features.
Step 1: Creating a Category
Log in to your Tebex Control Panel.
Click Packages from the left-hand sidebar.
Click Add New → Category.
Step 2: Fill in Category Details
