## URL Slugs & Clean Routing

Each category receives a clean, SEO-optimized URL path:

* **VIP Memberships:** `yourdomain.com/store/<server>/vip-ranks`
* **Crates:** `yourdomain.com/store/<server>/crates`

<Tip>
  After creating categories, visit the [Products](https://app.crafter.net.tr/tr/dashboard/store/products) page to assign items to your newly created categories.
