Categories and brands

Categories and brands help both you and your customers find things. Categories are used as filters in the webshop, as category buttons at the till and as a selection when you change many prices at once. The brand is shown on the item in the webshop and can also be used to select items.

Before you start

You need permission to manage the catalogue. The owner always has access.

How to do it

Create a category

1. Go to «Katalog» (Catalogue) → «Kategorier» (Categories) and click the button to create a new category.
2. Fill in «Navn» (Name). «URL-slug» is filled in automatically.
3. Optionally write a «Beskrivelse» (Description) and upload a «Bilde» (Image).
4. Choose a «Gruppe» (Group) under «Organisering» (Organisation).
5. Save.

Put an item in a category

• One item: Open the item under «Katalog» → «Produkter» (Products) and choose the categories in the «Kategorier» field.
• Many items: Tick the items in the product list, open the bulk actions and choose «Legg til i kategorier» (Add to categories). Choose the categories and confirm. The items keep the categories they already had.
• Remove many items: Select the items and use «Fjern fra kategorier» (Remove from categories).

Create a brand

1. Go to «Katalog» → «Merker» (Brands) and create a new brand.
2. Fill in «Navn» and optionally upload a «Logo».
3. Save. You choose the brand on the item in the «Merke» (Brand) field.

Good to know

• The category list shows how many products are in each category. The «Kassekategorier» (POS categories) button at the top takes you straight to the setup of the category buttons at the till, see POS categories.
• The till and the webshop use the same categories. Which categories appear as buttons at the till, and in what order, you control separately in the POS categories – changes there do not affect the webshop.
• Tags («Stikkord») are an alternative to categories when you only need to label items internally, for example «SUMMER2026». Tags are not shown on the item in the webshop, but the product search finds items by tag.

Categories from Shopify

If your shop is connected to Shopify, Shopify collections are imported as categories. The «Kilde» (Source) column shows «Shopify» or «Lokal» (Local).

• The name of a Shopify category is managed in Shopify and is overwritten at the next sync. If you want a different name at the till, use «Visningsnavn» (Display name) in the POS categories.
• Which items are in a Shopify category is managed in Shopify. That is why you cannot choose Shopify categories when you add items to categories here.
• You can use local categories freely, also for items that come from Shopify.
• A Shopify category cannot be deleted here. Delete it in Shopify.

Frequently asked questions

Can an item be in several categories?

Yes. An item can be in as many categories as you like.

Why can't I choose a category in «Legg til i kategorier»?

The category comes from Shopify. Add the item to the collection in Shopify and it follows at the next sync.
