Categories group related items together across your clinic’s catalog. They apply to Services, Products, Medications, and Packages — so you only manage one set of categories for everything. Use categories to organize your offerings by treatment area (e.g., “Facials”, “Injectables”, “Consultations”), track revenue by group, and structure commission rules.

Where Categories Are Used

Categories appear throughout the platform:
  • Services, Products, Medications, Packages — Each item can be assigned to one category for organization.
  • Billing & Checkout — Items can be grouped by category in the checkout flow (controlled by the Item Sort Type setting in General Preferences).
  • Commission Structures — Commission rules can be scoped to specific categories.
  • Membership Discounts — Membership plans can offer category-level discounts that apply to all items in a category.
  • Tax Rules — Tax rates can be scoped to items in specific categories.
  • Reporting — Revenue and sales data can be filtered and grouped by category.

​
Advanced Configuration

If you rename a category to match an existing category’s name, the system will merge them. All items previously assigned to the renamed category will be reassigned to the existing one.
Categories are shared across services, products, medications, and packages. Creating a new category from any item editor makes it available everywhere. This keeps your catalog organized with a single, consistent set of groupings.
  • View Inventory — Required to view categories.
  • Manage Inventory — Required to create, edit, and delete categories.
Admin users have full access to category management by default.
