Find the name of the **Product Category** you would like to edit on the **Categories** page and click the **Edit** button. 1. Product category names are imported directly from the Point of Sale. ![](https://8611548.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Aug-23-2022-11-22-21-34-PM.png) 4.

The **Low Inventory Threshold** allows you to control when a product will be removed from the store, based on remaining product inventory. When the **Low Inventory Threshold** is set to a specific number for that category, the products within the category will disappear from the store when the inventory hits the indicated number. ***For example**, if the category for flower is set to 5, then once one of the products in the flower category hits 5 remaining units, then that specific product will be removed from the menu. If set to **zero**, the product will disappear from the store after the last product is sold.* 1. To edit the **Low Inventory Threshold** of a product category, click the **Edit** button to the right of the category row. Enter the desired low inventory number in the **Low Inventory Threshold** box and click the **Save** button. ![](https://8611548.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Aug-23-2022-11-23-31-87-PM.png) 7. To **active/deactivate** a Product Category from the store, click the **Edit** button to the right of the category row. Click the **toggle button** next to “Is Active”. **Green** indicates that the product category is active and will display in the store.

A product category with a position number of “1” will display first, with “2”, “3” and so on, following it in that order. The ordering will **automatically save** once the numbers have been edited.![](https://8611548.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Aug-23-2022-11-25-07-63-PM.png) 10.
