Setting up Product Grids

Select “Product Grids” under “Point of Sale” to get Started.

Click “Add New” to create a New Product Grid or “Edit” for an existing Product Grid.

Product Grids

Product grids lets you define the products that you want to show on each register. Using tiles which represent a produce, you can customise the product grid layout. Each register must have an assigned product grid.

You can have automatic product grids (that displays either All Products or a grid of the Category Taxonomy) or manual product grids which can be configured to exactly the way you want it from appearance to positioning.
