Sales Categories

Sales Categories are a storefront-facing categorization layer separate from Master Categories. While Master Categories represent the internal product taxonomy, Sales Categories are flexible groupings used for merchandising and storefront navigation — e.g., "Summer Sale", "Back to School", "New Arrivals".
