Categories

A category is used to group items for easier understand. It can be helpful to separate Raw, Processed, and Services items. These three categories are provided by default.

It is also possible to add custom fields to all items with a particular category. For example, all Raw products could have an Expiration Date added. Custom fields don't appear on any reports, but they're visible in ShipperXL.

Additionally, all descriptions in ShipperXL can be localized into other languages. For example, if you have a Spanish version of a description it will appear in dropdowns in the Spanish language localized version of the software.
