Create Retail Product Categories

Create categories before adding products so the catalog, POS, and reports stay organized.

Steps

  1. Log in to Acel using the correct tenant.
  2. Open Retail.
    Acel Retail dashboard with catalog and sales actions
    The Retail dashboard is the starting point for catalog setup, stock work, purchases, and sales.
  3. In Catalog & Setup, choose Product categories.
    Acel Retail product categories list
    Use categories such as Handwoven Baskets, Carved Decor, and Textiles to keep the catalog easy to browse.
  4. Click New category.
    Acel Retail new category form
    The category form is intentionally simple: name the group, save it, then use it while creating products.
  5. Enter a clear category name.
  6. Save the category.
  7. Return to the list and confirm the category appears.

Use category names a cashier can recognize quickly, such as Handwoven Baskets, Carved Decor, Textiles, or Gift Sets.
