Categories

A category is a menu section, and it decides how customers order from it.

Choose how customers order

Ordering mode sets how customers shop the category:

• Builder: the customer picks one version of an item, adds the choices, and adds one line to the order. A builder page can also show related Picker sections underneath.
• Picker: the customer sets a quantity on each card, opens a dialog for the choices, and can add several lines at once.

Set the order of the entries

Display order holds items and item groups in one list. That order is what customers see. An item group appears instead of its items. Anything you leave out follows in the default order. The list only offers what this category actually sells. Save a new category first, because the list stays empty until then.

Show picker sections inside a builder category

Related picker categories appears only when Ordering mode is Builder. It only offers categories set to Picker, and a category cannot point at itself.

If you see Each related category must use Picker ordering mode. Remove unavailable categories or change their mode., remove the listed category or set its Ordering mode to Picker.

If you see A category cannot relate to itself. Remove this category from the field., remove the category from its own list.
