Magento PWA category related settings

Settings available in JMango360 Back Office > Settings > Catalog Settings > Category related settings.

Sync All Active Categories with PWA

By default, your PWA is set to show all active categories regardless of whether they are included in the navigation menu or not. If you want it to show only categories visible on the webshop, disable this setting.

You can make use of this setting to target customers with exclusive offerings on PWA. In Magento Admin, just create a hidden category by making an active category exclude from the top menu. With this setting enabled, you can include that hidden category in the PWA and make it a 'mobile-only' offering.



Product Attribute in List



This setting is helpful when you want to show a product attribute such as brand or manufacturer in all product lists on PWA. All the product attributes in Magento Admin are fetched to our backend, allowing you to choose a product attribute you want.


Hide N/A, No or Blank Attributes

Depending on how you set up your product attributes, it is likely that some attributes have a value of No, N/A or empty. Use this setting to hide such kind of empty attributes in product details.



Select default sort direction in PWA

By default, your PWA uses the same default sort direction as your Magento webshop. If you do not like this preset, you can choose a different default sort direction for your PWA. Available options: Ascending and Descending.



Add to Cart Button



An Add To Cart button in the product list makes things fast and convenient for PWA users as it helps shorten the purchase loop. You should make use of this button when your products have no or little product details, or when you are sure that your PWA users know what they are going to buy without going through the product details.

Please note that this setting applies to simple products only. Configurable products require app users to go through product details to specify options to purchase.


Auto-Update Categories [Magento 1]

By default, updates on product categories in Magento Admin require re-integration to be effective on PWA. With this setting enabled, you can skip the re-integration step as your updates will be reflected on PWA automatically. 

A new product category on PWA will need a well-designed icon for it. Please make sure you provide a nice icon for the new category after the (auto) update.



Custom Text

Required versions: PWA 1.2.5



Depending on your business model, you might want to show custom text for all of your products on PWA. It could be a special instruction, VAT or shipping rule, or any other type of input you can think of. Use this setting to show custom text with maximum length of 50 characters.


Show Filter for All Categories [Magento 2]

Required versions: M2 PWA Plugin 1.7.0

Product filters are essential for any business that offers complex products with options and large selections. That said, sometimes due to the product nature, filters may confuse your users or become unnecessary, thus making you want to turn off filter for specific categories. 

By default, product filters are enabled for all categories in your PWA. If you want to turn off filters for some categories, disable this setting then deselect the categories you want to hide filters for. 



Show Products in Lowest Category Level


Clear navigation is key! By default, categories on your PWA show products as per settings in Magento Admin. If you want to have clear navigation by showing products in the lowest category level only, enable this setting.
