Category Page Builder
I) Introduction
Category Page Builder for Magento 2 is a powerful tool that allows customizing the
layout of category pages quickly with drag & drop interface.
● Easy to customize category page layout with drag & drop
● 15+ elements
● 4 templates
● Display subcategories with 3 layouts
● Fully responsive
● 100% compatible with Magezon Page Builder.
HOW IT WORKS:
- In the backend, you first create a layout profile using drag & drop builder.
- After that, apply the layout to your wanted category pages which are then displayed in
this layout.
* You can create as many layout profiles as wanted and apply them to any category page.
NOTE: Category Page Builder is developed on a core builder based on which we’ve
built all of our builder extensions. The core builder includes elements and settings that all
builder extensions have in common. For detailed guide, please visit:
https://magezon.com/pub/media/productfile/magezon-core-builder-user_guides.pdf.
In this guide, we’ll focus on elements and settings that are specific to Category Page
Builder extension.

the category pages using this profile will be displayed in the chosen layout type.
NOTE: The category pages using profiles created by Category Page Builder have only 2
layout types: 1 column and 1 column full width. This is because we support Sidebar
element that you can add to the builder section when creating layout. In this case, layout
options in category edit page will not work.
