Products & Catalog

Organising with sub-categories

Nest categories one level deep so big menus stay tidy

Why sub-categories

A big catalog gets unwieldy fast — "Hair" with forty services in it doesn't help anyone. Categories can now nest one level deep: Hair → Colour, Hair → Styling, Retail → Aftercare.

📍

Navigate to: Settings → Categories

How to create one

  1. Open Settings → Categories and tap Add category.
  2. To make it a sub-category, pick a Parent category in the form.
  3. Save — the POS tiles, product filters, and your storefront menu all follow the same structure automatically.

Rules to know

  • Nesting is one level deep by design — a sub-category can't have children of its own. If you feel you need three levels, that's usually a sign the top level is too broad.
  • Products and services can be assigned to either a parent or a sub-category.
  • Deleting a parent doesn't delete its products — they just lose that grouping.

💡 Tip: keep parents broad ("Hair", "Skin", "Retail") and let sub-categories carry the detail. Your storefront's category pills stay short, and the POS grid stays scannable.
