How to Delete a Category

What Happens When You Delete a Category

• The category is removed from your POS and menus right away.
• Products or services in that category are not deleted. They simply lose their category grouping.
• You can always create a new category later if needed.

Tips

• Deletion is permanent -- double-check before you confirm.
• If you only want to hide a category temporarily, make it inactive instead of deleting it.
• Remove unused categories regularly to keep your catalog organized.
