# Add items from menu or catalog

> Add products or menu items to the Register cart from the Menu or Catalog tab.

In Register, use the **Menu** or **Catalog** tab to browse sellable items and add them to the cart. Restaurants see **Menu**; other industry types see **Catalog**.

## How to get here

1. From Home, tap **Register**.
2. Select **Menu** or **Catalog** in the bottom navigation.

If this tab is missing, the merchant does not have catalog selling enabled in Register. Use [Open a sale](/taliup-pos/register/open-sale) instead, or ask your ISO/partner to enable catalog features.

<Warning>
  Switching between Open Sale and Menu/Catalog while the cart already has items shows a warning that the **cart will be cleared**.
</Warning>

## Browse and add items

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose Categories or Featured">
    Use **Categories** to browse by group, or **Featured** for highlighted items.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search (optional)">
    Tap the search icon in the app bar, type a name, then select a result.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap an item">
    What happens next depends on the item:

    * Fixed price, no modifiers → added to the cart immediately
    * Open price → a custom price popup appears
    * Has modifiers → the add-to-cart screen opens
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure on add-to-cart (if shown)">
    Choose required modifiers, optional modifiers, quantity, and an optional note. Required modifier groups must be completed before you can continue. Tap **Apply** to add the item.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and pay">
    Open the [cart](/taliup-pos/register/cart), then tap **Pay**. See [Take payment](/taliup-pos/register/take-payment).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Table orders

On table orders, guest chips (**Whole Table** / guests) appear while you add items. Use **Save** to keep the open order without paying yet.

## Manage the catalog itself

Creating categories, products/items, taxes, discounts, and fees is done from Home → **Menu / Catalog**, not inside the Register picker. See [Menu / Catalog](/taliup-pos/catalog).
