 * Hello,
 * Yes, you can specify with category IDs like `[product_categories ids="01, 02"]`.
   Replace the 01,02 with the IDs of the categories you’d like to display.
 * You can find the category IDs by clicking the link to edit the category, then
   getting the tag_ID from the [address bar](https://d.pr/XuMRqt).
 * I hope it helps.
