# Creating Addons

## Access the addons section:

Open the NuFlorist app on your Shopify store.

Navigate to the addons section from the main dashboard.

## Create a New addons Category:

If this is your first time creating an addons category, you will see a blank screen with an option to create a new category. Click on the "Create New" button.

## Enter Category Details:

A new window will pop up with fields to fill in. Start by entering a title for your addons category. This title will help you and your team identify the category easily but will not be visible to your customers.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make the title descriptive enough to understand what products are included, such as "Valentine's Day Gifts" or "Birthday Extras."
{% endhint %}

## Connect a Shopify Collection:

Next, you need to link this category to a Shopify collection. This is important because the addons products must be organized into collections within your Shopify store.

Ensure you have already created a collection in Shopify with the products you want to include in this addons category. For example, if you're creating an addons category for "Chocolates and Wine," make sure you have a collection with these products in your Shopify store.

Select the Shopify collection from the menu.

## Connected occasions

If you already have a created occasion, you can connect it here. If you’re starting out with the app, just leave it blank.

You can go back and connect occasions here later when it’s needed or even connect this created category to the occasion itself.

## Save the Category

Once you have filled in all the necessary information, click on the "Save" button to save your new addons category.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nuflorist.gitbook.io/nuflorist/addons/creating-addons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
