This is an area that if you haven't thought about before can be a bit confusing, I hope that we can clear it up for you so that you that you will be able to create your inventory smoothly and easily.

Items are allocated to Categories so that you can see all the Items that you sell that are in the same income stream. For example personal training, you could have a 30 minute personal training session that you sell but you could also have a 60 minutes session that you sell. When you look at your sales they are both related to your personal training income stream but they are different Items.

You can create as many Categories as you need to track your sales but an Item can only belong to a single Category.

Packages are groups of Items, for example a single boot  camp class is an Item but a monthly package that has 8 boot camps in it is a Package that you assign 8 Items into.

This is important to understand as when you link your appointments to inventory they can only link to an Item, an Item links to a single appointment, so the Item needs to be in the Packages that you sell at the correct quantity.
