Categories overview

The two-level structure — categories for products, groups for categories.

Open in dashboardCategories

Overview

Organization -> Categories has two sections. Category Groups at the top (cards in a grid) bundle related categories together — e.g., a "Cannabis" group containing "Flower", "Edibles", "Concentrates". Categories below (a searchable table) are the labels actually attached to products. Every product must have a category; groups are optional.

When to use it

  • Initial org setup — defining the catalog taxonomy before adding products
  • Adding a new product line (new category or new group)
  • Rolling up analytics and sales reports by group

How to use it

Video tutorial coming soon
  1. Open Categories from the sidebar.
  2. The top Category Groups section shows all groups as color-tagged cards.
  3. The bottom Categories section shows every category in a table. Use the search bar to filter by category name or group name — it filters client-side instantly, no debounce.
  4. Create, edit, and delete from either section's action buttons.

Tips & gotchas

  • Groups and categories are linked but managed separately — deleting a group unlinks its categories (they don't get deleted).
  • Some categories are system categories (e.g., Cannabis Flowers) — these can't be renamed or deleted.
  • Category colors show up as badge backgrounds everywhere the category appears.
