Doshii has introduced a new feature to the filtered menus called Menu Categories. Menu categories will allow merchants and apps to categorise products in their menu as well as rearrange the order of categories, products and options easily.
Getting Started
This guide will take you through the following points on how to get started using categories.
1. Register for menu webhooks
To receive updates made to the menu categories and items, check you are registered to the following webhooks:
app_menu_updated
app_menu_category_updated
app_menu_item_updated
For more information on events go to this page of the Doshii support guide.

a) Navigate to the selected venue page in the dashboard
b) Click the menu icon at the top right of the screen
c) Scroll down to the products listed in your menu and click the link item icon next to the product you want to add to your filtered menu
d) Configure and link the item to the app you would like it to apply to and select any modifiers to be added to the item.
3. Navigate to filtered menu and toggle categories tool
a) Once you’ve added all the items to the selected app, navigate to your filtered menu using the view as button at the top of the page.
