Create a Catalog
Step 1: Navigate to the Catalog Page
Click the Catalog link in the left sidebar navigation menu. (Screenshot: Left sidebar with Catalog menu item highlighted)
If your venue has any existing catalogs, you'll see them displayed as tabs. If this is your first catalog, you'll see an empty state message. (Screenshot: Catalog page showing existing catalogs or empty state)
Step 2: Open the Create Catalog Form
Click the Create new catalog button (or Create new menu/product category, depending on your business type). (Screenshot: Catalog page with "Create new" button highlighted)
A side panel will slide in from the right with the catalog creation form. (Screenshot: Catalog creation form side panel open)
Step 3: Upload a Catalog Image (Optional)
Click on the image upload area at the top of the form. (Screenshot: Image upload placeholder showing "Upload catalog image")
Select an image file from your device.
The image preview will appear once uploaded. (Screenshot: Uploaded catalog image preview)
Tip: For restaurants, use an appetizing photo representing the category (e.g., a burger for "Burgers," a cocktail for "Drinks"). For hotels, use a photo of the room type. For retail, use a representative product image.
Step 4: Enter Catalog Details
In the Catalog Name field, enter a descriptive name for this category. Examples:
For restaurants: "Main Courses," "Appetizers," "Beverages," "Desserts"
For hotels: "Deluxe Rooms," "Suites," "Standard Rooms"
For retail: "Electronics," "Clothing," "Accessories" (Screenshot: Catalog Name field filled in)
In the Catalog Description field, write a brief description of what this category includes. (Screenshot: Description textarea filled in)
Toggle the Active switch to ON if you want this catalog to be immediately visible to customers. If you want to prepare it first before making it live, leave it off. (Screenshot: Active switch highlighted)
Note: When a catalog is set to "Active," all available products within it become visible to customers immediately.
Step 5: Create the Catalog
Review your catalog details.
Click the Create catalog button at the bottom of the form. (Screenshot: Create catalog button highlighted)
You'll see a success notification confirming the catalog was created. (Screenshot: Success notification toast)
Your new catalog will appear as a tab at the top of the page. (Screenshot: New catalog appearing in the catalog tabs)
