To display all the categories that a product belongs to in your Webflow product template page, you can follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to your Webflow project and access the product template page where you want to display the categories.

  2. Make sure you have created the necessary collection(s) for your product categories. If you haven't done so, go to the Collections panel and create a new collection for your product categories.

  3. In your product template page, locate the section or element where you want to display the categories.

  4. Drag and drop a Collection List element from the Add panel onto the desired section of your product template page.

  5. In the Element Settings panel, configure the Collection List element to display the data from your product categories collection. Select your product categories collection from the Collection dropdown.

  6. Inside the Collection List element, add a Collection Item element by clicking the "+" button. This will allow you to display each category that the product belongs to separately.

  7. Customize the Collection Item element to display the information you want for each category, such as the category name or a category icon. You can use text elements, image elements, or any other relevant elements to achieve the desired design.

  8. Add the appropriate bindings to display the specific data from your product collection. To display the categories that the product belongs to, you would use the dynamic binding feature. For example, you can bind the text element to the "Category Name" field in your product collection.

  9. To display all the categories that a product belongs to, you will need to use a multi-reference field in your product collection to link the categories to the product. In the Product Collection Settings, create a new multi-reference field, and associate it with the product categories collection.

  10. In the dynamic binding settings of your Collection List element, bind it to the multi-reference field in your product collection, which contains the related categories. This will ensure that only the categories associated with the product are displayed in the Collection List.

  11. Customize the design and styling of the elements within the Collection List to match your desired layout.

  12. Preview and test your product template page to ensure that the categories are being correctly displayed for each product.

By following these steps, you will be able to display all the categories that a product belongs to in your Webflow product template page. This will provide your users with valuable information about the different categories a product is associated with, enhancing their browsing experience.
