Creating product categories and products in the Cash Register Admin
Updated
It’s important to set your business up in the Cash Register Admin before you start working with your cash register/tablet and app. The Admin is where you can manage your business. Read on for how to create your first product category and products.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND using a laptop or desktop computer and Google Chrome to make the best use of the Admin’s functionality. |

Note: the Cash Register Admin displays the default variable product category. This category contains variable items/products that are created for individual VAT rates to help you make the fastest possible sale without having to create specific products. However, bear in mind that these items are just presets – it's recommended that you create specific product categories and products for better insights into your business. |
Important: bear in mind that product categories are common for all business places you have under your account. If you edit or delete a product category this change will be reflected in all your business places. |
