Categories group your products, such as Drinks, Pastries and Lunch. The till's layout can show a category as a group of buttons, and the reports show sales per category. A category can have subcategories, such as Hot drinks under Drinks, up to six levels deep.
Before you start
You're an owner or business manager.
Add a category
In the console, open Categories and select Add category.
Type the Name, such as Drinks.
To put it under another category, choose it under Parent category. Otherwise leave Top level.
Select Save.
To add a subcategory straight under an existing one, select Add subcategory on that category's row.
You can also make a category while you add a product: under Categories, select Add new category.
Put products in it
Open a product, choose the category under Categories, and save. To move many products at once, tick them in Products and choose Update categories.
A product without a category shows as Uncategorised.
Archive a category
Open the category, select Archive and confirm. Its products stay, without a category. A category that still has subcategories can't be archived: archive or move them first.
