One catalog, every surface
Whatever you add here becomes a tappable button on your register, a card on your public page, and a listing in the marketplace, one edit, everywhere at once. This is also why finishing the catalog is step two of everything: the register can't ring, and the online store can't sell, what doesn't exist.
Add your first items
On the business side, open Items & Catalog, it's the "Manage products and pricing" hub.
In Manage Items, tap Add Item.
Name, price, photo, category. Save. That's an item, repeat for your core lineup.
Start with the ten things you actually sell weekly, not the sixty things you could theoretically make. A tight catalog reads confident; a swollen one reads like a diner menu with dust on page four.
Names and photos that sell
- Name what the customer calls it. "Dozen chocolate chip" beats "CC-12 Classic." You're labeling for a stranger's thumb, not your inventory sheet.
- Real photo, one subject, filling the frame, same rules as your page portfolio, because these ARE tiny portfolio pieces. An item with a photo simply outsells the gray placeholder next to it.
- Price honestly online. Your online price is your price; the platform fee math is covered in "Where your money goes," and baking secret padding into online prices reads worse than it earns.
Categories keep the register fast
Group items the way your hands work at the counter, Drinks, Bakes, Add-ons, because categories are how you'll FIND buttons mid-rush. The same grouping organizes your online menu, so a sensible register is automatically a browsable shop.
Register-only vs online
Every item can also be visible online or kept register-only. New items are visible online by default, right for almost everything. Flip one off when it genuinely can't be ordered remotely (a dine-in-only special, a service priced person-by-person).
If something's off
- An item isn't showing online. Its online visibility is off, or your online store's master switch is ("Open your online store").
- You need size/flavor choices on an item. That's the next guide, "Item options and add-ons." Don't create "Latte Small / Latte Medium / Latte Large" as three items; options exist so you don't.
- A price changed. Edit the item; done. New price applies to new orders, anything already paid keeps the price the customer agreed to.
