The page type when you’re visiting a category (or a product) will be the StartPage, since they’re not actual pages in the CMS.

Depending on where you need to check you could inject PageRequestData, cast its Data property as ProductPageData and inspect that to make your evaluation.

Category, BaseProduct and Variant is also available for model binding into an action. The latter two will be null if it’s a category.

Yes I ended up using PageRequestData.Data. From there I could get what i needed. Thanks!
