To link a category button to the products in that category on your ecommerce site using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a collection: Start by creating a collection in Webflow for your products. Each product should have a category field that determines which category it belongs to.

  2. Design your category button: Now, design your category button using the Webflow Designer. You can create a button element and style it to match your site's design.

  3. Set up dynamic filtering: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Collection List that displays your products. Add a filter option to your Collection List settings, and select the field that corresponds to the category of your products. This will filter the products based on the selected category.

  4. Create a link wrapper: Wrap your category button with a link element. This can be done by selecting your button element, clicking on the "+" icon, and selecting Link Block.

  5. Configure the link: With the link wrapper selected, you can now configure the link settings. Click on the settings gear icon and choose the "Select Collection Page" option. In the modal that appears, choose the same collection you created in step 1. This will link the button to the dynamically filtered collection page.

  6. Specify the category: In the same modal, set the category filter to the current category. If you're creating a separate page for each category, you can use a dynamic link setting to specify the category using URL parameters.

  7. Style your link: Lastly, you can style your link wrapper element to match the design of the category button. You may want to add hover effects, transitions, or other visual cues to indicate to users that it's a clickable element.

By following these steps, you'll be able to link a category button to the products in that category effectively on your ecommerce site using Webflow.
