Settings → Catalog is where you set up the building blocks that your products, services, and expenses draw from — categories, variants, brands, and units. Getting these right first makes adding products and expenses faster later.

Categories & Variant Keys

Create the product categories you’ll use to organize your catalog (like “Groceries” or “Electronics”). Categories can also have their own category-specific variant keys — for example, a “Clothing” category might have a “Size” and “Color” variant key, while an “Electronics” category might have a “Storage” variant key. These variant keys are what show up when you add a product that comes in multiple variants, so set them up on the category before you start adding products that need them.

Brands

Add and manage the manufacturer or product brands you sell. Once a brand exists here, it becomes available to pick from when creating or editing a product — useful for filtering and reporting by brand later.

Units of Measure

Manage the units (like kg, litre, or piece) used when creating products and services. See Units of measure for the full guide.

Expense Categories

Set up the categories used to classify your business expenses. See Tracking expenses for how these are used day to day.

1

Vikram creates an Electronics category

Vikram Bali opens Settings → Catalog → Categories & Variant Keys and creates a “Mobile Phones” category for his stock.
2

Adds a Storage variant key

Since phones come in different storage sizes, he adds a “Storage” variant key to the Mobile Phones category, so it’ll be available when Deepak adds phone products later.
3

Adds a brand

Vikram then opens Settings → Catalog → Brands and adds “Samsung” and “Apple” so they can be picked when creating new phone products.
