How to Create a Category
Categories organize your menu so customers can browse items by type (e.g. Starters, Mains, Drinks). You manage them in Store → Menu → Categories.
Where to find it: Store → Menu → Categories (tab at the top of the Menu page)
How to Add a Category
Section titled “How to Add a Category”- Go to Store → Menu
- Open the Categories tab
- Click Add category or Create category
- Enter the category name (e.g. “Mains”, “Drinks”)
- (Optional) Add a description and image — click the image area to open the Media Gallery
- Set Visible to On
- Save
Categories Tab
Section titled “Categories Tab”In Store → Menu → Categories you can:
- View all categories with product count
- Create a new category (name, description, image)
- Edit a category (quick edit or full form)
- Delete a category (products in it become uncategorized)
- Reorder by dragging — the order here is the order customers see
- Search and filter (show all, visible only, or hidden only)
- Toggle visible/hidden per category (hidden categories don’t appear to customers)
Category Fields
Section titled “Category Fields”| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name | What customers see (e.g. “Mains”) |
| Description | Optional text for the category |
| Image | Optional image from the media gallery |
| Visible | On = customers see it, Off = hidden |
- Create categories first, then add products — you need at least one category before adding products.
- Put bestsellers in the first categories so customers see them first.
- Use Hidden instead of deleting for categories you want to pause — turn them back on when needed.
