Steps

  1. Open it

    Catalog → Categories.

  2. Add a category

    Name it the way your staff speak, not the way an accountant would. The POS grid shows these names to a cashier under pressure.

  3. Nest where it helps

    A category can sit under a parent. Keep it shallow — two levels is almost always enough.

  4. Add an image

    Used on the POS category strip and on the online store.

  5. Reorder

    Put your busiest categories first. It saves a tap on every sale.

Good to know

  • A few sample categories are created when you sign up. Rename or delete them.
  • A product can belong to more than one category.
