Honestly, I think that a grid view of categories is not a great idea from a usability point of view… it adds just one more click for the user. Once they get to the product grid/list page, they are going to have the horizontal or vertical text nav anyway.
However… a category overview page with cat. image, cat. description and maybe five teaser products per category might be cool.
Short: let me finish the stuff I need, then I will see about the category ideas.
k… so, ecwid already does this afaik.
Look here: http://kb.ecwid.com/w/page/15853259/Ecwid%20widgets
…and then look at “Horizontal Categories” or “Vertical Categories”
On the other hand, if you want a wp shortcode that you can configure from the wp backend so that “dvd’s” category (with category info from ecwid, image, name, etc) links to a WP page called “DVD’s”… that is a different issue.
I am working on this today.
When you say, “Categories themselves” I assume you mean that if I get the products-per-category view done, that you would like a navigation aid which would point users to, for instance, a page where all the products of linked category are shown. Is that correct?
