Product groups help you organize your products clearly – this is especially important when you sell many different items. They structure your product management, make navigation in the POS easier, and enable you to generate better reports by product group. In this guide, we will show you how to create, edit, and manage product groups.

Creating a Product Group

Step-by-step:

1. Log in to the Admin Interface.
2. Hover over Products in the navigation bar at the top and select Product Groups from the dropdown menu.
3. Click the plus symbol (+) to the right of the heading "PRODUCT GROUPS" to create a new product group.

1. Enter the following information in the dialog:
   • Name: The designation of your product group (e.g., "Beverages", "Main Courses")
   • Description (optional): A more detailed description of the group
   • Abbreviation: Maximum 3 characters displayed in the POS (e.g., "GTR" for beverages)
   • Active: Activate the toggle so the group appears in the POS
