Organizing your Register

Adding categories to your Register can be helpful for organizing your products to make for quicker and easier check outs. You can categorize them by product type, seasons, and more. It is completely customizable so you can choose how to file your products.

How to add categories to Register

On the home screen, click on + Add Category (+ Add on small devices).

Enter a category name and choose which catalogs to include this category in. The "Create a Category" pop-up shows three options: Reporting, Online, and Register (Register is on by default). A category can belong to multiple catalogs at once. Click the green Create Category. Your new category will show up on the register home screen.
