Perch Shop Category list and detail

HI all

Has anyone successfully listed all shop categories and then once a category is clicked a page with all items in that category are displayed

without a static page for each category looking for a dynamic solution

Thanks

Ant

Absolutely. Where are you running into problems?

To filter products by category:

perch_shop_products([
    'category' => 'products/pyjamas',
]);

or if you're pulling the category from the URL, something like:

perch_shop_products([
    'category' => 'products/'.perch_get('category'),
]);
