Learn how to build one Category metaobject in Shopify that powers three different sections with no rebuilding content every time you add a new category. I'll walk through setting up the metaobject fields, adding entries, and connecting it to both a free theme section (in Horizon) and a Flexi section, so you can manage all your category content from one place instead of digging through the theme customizer. If you're a freelancer or agency building client sites, this is a system worth stealing.
