Why Using CATEGORIES ?

  • The reasons to separate Products into categories are:

  1. To find your products easily in the Office as they are categorised

  2. To reassigned Categories to different pages: for example if we start having too many teas: we can create a ‘Tea Page’ and reassigned the category Tea:

  3. For Online Store: You can choose to sell your category ‘Coffee’ Online but not the ‘Tea’ Category for example.

  4. Several Menus options: your lunch menu might include ‘Coffees’ but after 6pm your menus changes and you no longer want to sell Coffees.

  5. For Your Reports: you can easily assign your reporting groups to your categories for better reporting.


CREATE A CATEGORY:

Office ⇒ Products ⇒ Categories ⇒ Create

You can assign Products directly to your new category if they’ve already been created:

Or after creating your category:

Office ⇒ Products ⇒ Products ⇒ All Categories ⇒ Select wanted Category ⇒ Create (new product)

By default your new product will be added to the category automatically:
