Catalog Navigation
Your online storefront supports multiple navigation structures that help customers find products. Each structure can be enabled or disabled independently for both customer and staff views.
Navigation Structures
All toggles are in Settings > Software & Hardware > Interfaces, under Home Page — Customer View.
| Toggle | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Brands | Displays brands as a browsable navigation level with brand images and descriptions |
| Departments | Groups products into top-level departments |
| Categories | Sub-grouping within departments |
| Types | Product type classification (e.g., flower, pre-roll, edible, beverage) |
| Tier Menu | Price-tier based menu navigation |
| Catalog Schedules | Time-based menu rotations — different menus appear at different times |
| Sub Menus On Side Bar | Nested sub-menus in the sidebar navigation |
Each structure has a parallel toggle under Home Page — Staff View for the in-app experience.

Browsing Flow
A typical customer browsing flow with all features enabled:
- Landing — customer sees the home page with store branding and featured categories.
- Department selection — choose a department from the main navigation.
- Sidebar filtering — narrow by brand, type, species, price range, or other filters.
- Product cards — browse filtered results as image cards with names, prices, and short descriptions.
- Product detail — click a card to view the full product page with gallery, description, pricing, and add-to-cart.
- Related products — at the bottom of the product page, see cross-sell recommendations.
Menu Schedules
When Catalog Schedules is enabled, different menu configurations can be active at different times of day or days of the week. For example, a breakfast menu from 6-11 AM, lunch from 11 AM-4 PM, and dinner from 4 PM onward.
