Catalogs is where a merchant builds what they sell. Everything defined here flows to the POS, to online ordering, and to any device the catalog is assigned to. Restaurants see this section as Menus, with Items and Modifiers. Retail and other industries see Catalogs, with Products and Attributes. The screens are the same.

How to get here

Sign in to Taliup HQ as the merchant, or open the merchant from Entities and use View As Merchant. Then choose Catalogs (or Menus) in the sidebar.

What lives here

How a catalog is put together

A catalog is a container. Categories sit inside it and hold items, and the same item can appear in more than one category.
1

Create the catalog

From Catalogs, click Create Catalog and give it a name.
2

Add categories

Open the catalog and create the sections customers will see. Drag them with Sort Categories to set the order.
3

Add items

Add new items or attach existing ones to each category.
4

Attach taxes

Taxes added at the catalog level cascade to every item in it. Add a tax to a single item to override that.
5

Assign it to devices

Use Assign to devices to choose which terminals use this catalog. A terminal uses one catalog at a time.

Item order inside a category

Items now keep a saved display order inside each category, and online ordering shows them in that order rather than the order they happened to be added.
Catalogs built with Catalog Builder carry the order from the source menu, so a printed menu keeps its sequence. Catalogs built by hand or by spreadsheet keep the order items were added in, exactly as before.
