Creating Product Departments

What is a Department?

Departments serve as categories that help organize your Products internally, mainly for accounting purposes and to be displayed in Sales Reports.

Moreover, Departments can be utilized in the Admin panel for tasks like setting up Coupons, Promotions, and Dynamic Collections. Examples of Departments commonly used are "Wine" or "Merchandise".

It's important to note that each Product can only be assigned to one Department, and they won't be visible on the front end to Customers.

Need a more flexible grouping option?

For more flexible grouping options, consider using Collections instead. Collections can be displayed on your website and utilized in the POS for better organization. Learn more about Collections here.

Creating a Department

Go to Settings > Departments.
Click the Add Department button.
Add a Title and Code and Save Department. (The code is only used by designers/developers for API calls and is not something that a Customer would ever see).

Assigning a Department to a Product

Go to Store > Products > select a Product.
In the right-hand column, you'll see the Department field.
Select the Department that you want to apply and Save.

NOTE: Product Bundles and Reservation Products cannot be assigned a Department.
