 * Can the Woocommerce categories have the same name as the ‘normal’ WordPress categories?
   Or do they have to be different?

 * While it could be confusing, they can be the same if you’d like them to be!
 * The custom taxonomies are what helps set them apart. One uses just categories
   while WooCommerce uses product-category to set those apart, if that makes sense.
   For example the URLs could look like this.
 * [http://core.test/category/accessories/](http://core.test/category/accessories/)
   
   [http://core.test/product-category/accessories/](http://core.test/product-category/accessories/)
