Control visibility for an entire category

Use Category visibility override when a whole group of products should be available in the same sales channels. This is useful for categories that should only appear on POS, kiosk, or online.

Steps

1. Go to Products → Product categories.
2. Click Add Category, or open an existing category for editing.
3. Fill in Category Name, Description, and the other standard category fields.
4. Find Category visibility override and click Enable override.
5. Under Category channel availability, choose where the category should appear. Keep Available everywhere (default) on if everything should appear everywhere.
6. To limit the category, untick the default option and choose combinations of POS, Kiosk, and Online with Dine-in and Takeaway.
7. Click Create Category or Update Category to save.
8. In the Product Category List, categories that control visibility this way show the Visibility override badge.

Good to know: When the override is active, the category controls visibility for every product in the category. Product-level availability is still saved, but ignored until you click Clear override on the category.

Tip: Use a category override for clear groups, such as an alcohol category that should not appear on kiosks, or an online-only catering category. Use the product's own Channel Availability when only individual items should differ.
