Hello, 

Which is the fastest way I can deactivate a whole category ( hide all items that belong to this category from the sale screen)?

Hello Suzan,

The fastest way to mark all items that belong to a category as "not available for sale", so they will not appear in the sale screen, is to use the export/import function (https://help.loyverse.com/help/importing-and-exporting).

You have to follow these steps"

1-Go to your Item list in your Back-office and filter the category you want to deactivate.
2- Export this category in a CSV file

                             

3-Open this file using Google sheets (https://help.loyverse.com/help/how-open-csv-file-google-sheets)
4- In the column "Available for sale" specify the character "N" for each item.

                                    
5-Download the file as CSV and import it back to your Back-office.

And that's it! You have deactivated a whole category without the need to go to each item of this category one by one and mark it as "Not available for sale"

Hi all, anybody know if it is possible to turn off a category so it does not display it's contents in a search and keep it for when needed?
