How to create your first category and product in the Storyous web administration

Before starting to use the POS system and the app, you need to set up some basics in the web administration. This will allow you to manage your business in a simple and organized way. Let’s look at how to do it!

1. Log in to the Administration

  • Use a laptop or PC and the Google Chrome browser.
  • Open the web administration admin.storyous.com.
  • Log in with your credentials.

If you don’t have an account yet, please register and log in first: How to register and log in to Storyous.

2. Creating a Product Category

  1. Click on the “Setup” section in the top menu.
  2. In the top left corner, select your business.
  3. Go to the “Product Categories” section.
  4. Click on + Add Category.
  5. Fill in the details:
    • Category Name (e.g., Beverages).
    • Short Name (max. 10 characters, e.g., Drinks).
    • Choose a color and an icon.
  6. Click on Save.
Tip: If you're in a hurry, you can use a pre-set category with items by VAT, but for better organization, we recommend creating your own categories.
Note: A category will only appear in the POS if at least one product is assigned to it.

For more details, see: Product categories.

3. Creating a Product

  1. Open the “Products” section.
  2. Make sure the correct business is selected in the top left corner.
  3. Click on + New Product and fill in the details:
    • Product Name (e.g., Espresso).
    • Price (including VAT).
    • VAT rate.
    • Select the category the product belongs to.
    • (Optional) Add a product description.
    • Tick the box “Show on tablet.”
  4. Click on Save.
Note: Products without a category will be placed in the "Uncategorized" group, which won’t be visible in the POS system.

Note: If you don’t see the option to set a VAT rate for a product, please contact our support team. Conditions and steps to enable VAT can be found here: I became a VAT payer.
