Categories for Stories?

cicelyeverson — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 14:44:17 GMT

Does anyone know how to add categories for our story/blog posts? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I can't believe that Square would not include this feature??? I have articles across a wide range of topics and don't want my audience to have to scroll just to find a particular topic of interest.

Hey @cicelyverson and welcome to the Community!

Have you checked out this Support Center article yet on editing/creating stories?

This might help lead you in the right direction of what they offer at this time.

That article does not answer how to group similar stories together. For example, I have many recipes for dessert and others for breakfast. How can I group similar stories together versus having one long list with no way to sort or search? *fingers crossed if this is an enhancement that is coming down the pike. Because if not, then stories is useless for a majority of businesses.

We don't yet have categories or tags for stories, although hopefully this is something we can add in the future to provide more filtering options for your site visitors. Thank you both for posting about this as it helps to know what features sellers would like to see added!

I agree that the stories need to be able to be in categories.

That article was very helpful. It would be perfect to be able to put stories in categories, though.

Categories for stories would be a great additional feature

Is this a feature that is going to be added soon? I intend to make a lot of blog-like content and this would be very helpful.

Not sure why they acquired Weebly and not incorporate the tech. I feel they are missing opportunities.
