Categories group together products on your website and display as menu items in the navigation menu. While categories are usually associated with product types (Product Categories), you can also create a category and enable it as a clusterto contain clusters. A cluster acts category with clusters functions just like any other category in that products are assigned to it and it can appear in the navigation menu. But a cluster is designed to group together products for the specific purchasing condition where certain products are expected to be selected or selectable and bought in one go. For example, suppose a customer visits a site to select and buy products site supplies school materials needed by students in a school year stationery and book list. So . A category cluster can be configured so that all such items are grouped together so it is easy for the customer to view, select and buy them. To support this type of purchasing, clusters have some other built-in features and options that support this type of purchasing.

Cluster Maintenance allows you to create and configure clusters, and add products to them. Sub-categorisation of products in a cluster is done through assigning each to a user-defined cluster line type (a 'header'). For every product, the conditions of buying, i.e., whether it is  compulsory or not, or is one option out of two or more items, must be specified.
