Is there a way to organize item library so you can checkout by category?

I am a jewelry artist and have an item library of 50 items with all different prices. I have sorted them into 4 categories. However, when I am in checkout mode my item library is still listed individually rather than by category, which means I spend alot of time scrolling to find the right item. Should I have set this up differently? i.e make 4 items and then use either variations or options to subdivide each item? If I do it that way can 1 item have variations that are different price points?Thanks

@PhbeaD What are you using to checkout?

 

If it is a tablet, just hold down a square to edit your item grid layout, and you can add the category to the item grid.  when you tap on the category it will bring up the list of only items in that category. Otherwise you can set up tabs with about 20 items per tab to quickly flip between the items.  

 

If you are using a mobile device like phone, your categories should be at the top and you can just tap on them, and there are now favorites which you can just put a category there and quickly tab through them.

Hi-thanks for your response. I am using my iphone for checkout. But my screen does not look like the one you showed. Maybe I need to update the app?

Have you tried to hold down a square to edit your item grid layout, and you can add the category to the item grid in the new POS? I can't get an item to move anywhere other than it's original position.

Hey there @Superiorspas 

 

In order for a Category to appear when attempting to add to the Item Grid you will need to first assign items to it. Once that is done and you go back to the Item Grid your Categories will be listed just after the default option. On my device, they appear after Services.
