Organizing the product grid by category

By the end of this article, the register’s product grid is organized into category tabs the way you want cashiers to find items.

How categories show up at the register

Every category with Active set to yes appears as its own tab above the product grid, alongside an All tab that shows every product regardless of category. Tapping a tab filters the grid to just that category’s products.

Create and order categories

1. Open Settings and click the Categories card.
2. Under Add category, enter a Name and a Sort order. Lower sort-order numbers appear first, left to right.
3. Click Add.

To change a category later, click Edit on its row, adjust the name, sort order or active state, and click Save.

Removing a category

Click Delete on a category’s row. Its products are not deleted; they just become uncategorized and only show up under the All tab until you assign them to a category again.

Assigning a product to a category

Category assignment happens on the product itself, not the category. Open Manage Products, edit the product, and choose its Category from the dropdown. See Adding your first products and categories.
