Feature Request: More control over categories

We use categories for both our store navigation and for sorting items. We very much need a way to be able to not have a category visible in our store navigation, and to exclude that category from being used in the "Similar Items" element of a product page.

 

Examples of why we need this:

 

- We offer a discount scheme in our store that excludes items that already have a discounted price. In Square Online, the only way we can do this is by creating a category for items with no sale price and assigning the discount code to that category. (We have thousands of products, we cannot select them by hand.) This category now appears in our product navigation, despite being a category that does not need to be visible to our customers. It also is being used for the Similar Items pull on product pages - meaning the items being shown are not similar at all, because this particular category includes items from across our entire item library and may have no relevance to that item.

 

- We sell items which can be grouped either by type of product, or by theme. Our navigation currently focuses on product type, but we would like to be able to create categories for themes to be used in specific places or at specific times. These categories automatically appear in our product navigation, and we don't want it to be there - we only want access to these categories in the particular places we put them, which will help avoid our category navigation from becoming too unwieldy.

In short, can we please have a toggle to set whether a category is displayed in the product navigation, and another toggle for whether that category is included in "Similar Items" fields?
