What the heck is a Category Info File? The Category Info file is the text that appears right under the Category name on the product page for each category. This is where you will put any general information that applies to all the items in a category. For example if you have a category called 'Dolls' you might want to tell people that they are all hand made individually by you and that they are made from porcelain or polymer clay. You might want to say that they are not made until they are ordered. For the 'Sale Items' category you might want to say that all sales of 'Sale Items' are final NO Returns or Exchanges. For 'New Items' you might want to say that you put items in the 'New Items' category for two weeks and then they are put into whatever category they would belong in. Just remember it should apply to EVERY item in that category.

There is a general info file which you can not change that will be used if you do not 'ADD' an info file for a category.
