 * If it is not in menus, then it is probably in left sidebar – under widget with
   categories menu.

 * think what i’m being asked to do might not be possible.
 * I believe the menu is created in woo-commerce somehow. Every menu appears to 
   be a product category.
 * My issue now is that I’ve been asked to add a non product category (info page)
   to that menu and im not sure if its possible

 * It is possible with some coding.
    1.You create menu of all product categories
   in “Menus” section of WP and there you can add any other page to that menu as
   well. 2.You create child theme and add file that contains code for product category
   menu in child theme 3.You replace code for product category menu with code for
   menu that you created in “Menus” and that is it 🙂
