Organising Your Catalogue with Product Categories
Test User
1 min read
As your product list grows, categories keep it tidy and make reporting far more useful. Grouping items helps cashiers find products and helps you see which departments perform best.
Group products logically
Create categories that match how your shop is laid out, such as beverages, groceries, toiletries or medicines. Assign each product to a category as you add it.
Better reports by department
With categories in place, your reports can show sales and profit by department, so you know where to focus stock and promotions.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change a product category later?
Yes. You can reassign products to different categories at any time.
Do categories affect tax?
Categories are for organisation and reporting. Tax behaviour is driven by your product and tax settings.
How many categories can I create?
As many as your business needs to reflect its departments and product ranges.
