Set Up A Point of Sale Category
How to Setup Point of Sale Categories & Items
Many properties sell items to guests during their stay, for example, t-shirts and hats from the gift shop or lift tickets and rafting excursions. These items are defined in the Cloud PMS from the Configuration > Rates, Taxes > POS link.

Point of Sale Categories
The first category will be defined as point-of-sale items. In this example, two categories will be created:
1. Gift Shop
2. Ski Area
Use the following steps to create the Gift Shop category:
1. From the POS Items page, click the Categories button.
