Product Categories allow you to group all your retail and consumable products into logical families — Skincare, Injectables, Body Treatments, Supplements, Sundries, and so on. Categories support unlimited nesting for parent and sub-category hierarchies, can be assigned a colour for instant visual identification in the POS, and are available as filters in every product-related report and in your online shop. A clear, consistent category structure reduces checkout time, simplifies stock management, and produces much more useful analytics.

Ammattilaisvinkit
Limit top-level categories to ten or fewer — too many options at the POS slow down checkout speed significantly.
Keep Consumables and Retail as separate top-level categories so your stock reports remain clean and readable.
Pick colour codes that are intuitively meaningful — green for skincare, purple for body treatments, gold for retail.
Revisit your category structure every time you introduce a new product range to keep the structure logical.
