# From Product Catalog -> Shop

### Moving items from Product Catalog to the Shop

Once products to be sold are [**Added to the Product Catalog**](/payments/the-shop-page/add-to-the-product-catalog.md), you can now populate those products from the Product Catalog in to your [**Location’s Shop**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/8060481).

There are two ways to add from the Product Catalog to the Shop:

1. Move each product one by one
2. Move several products at once

#### Move each product one by one

To move a single product from the Product Catalog to the Shop:

* Select the box on the far left of a product
* Press the “Add Selected items to Shop”
* Click on either Add as DRAFT or Publish (Publish will save you a step in the Shop area)

The item will then be visible in your Location’s Shop!

#### Move several products at once

To move several products from the Product Catalog to the Shop:

* Toggle the box on the far left of all the different products you want to add to the Shop
  * Leverage the “Filter by Category” section at the top to select many products within the same Category and Subcategory
* Press the “Add Selected items to Shop”
* Click on either Add as DRAFT or Publish (Publish will save you a step in the Shop area)

### Add and Assign Tax Categories

Before charging a Customer for any products in the Shop, you will need to add Tax Categories. These are the taxes that need to be applied to the sale of your products.

If your Shop Locations are in different regions, please note that Tax Categories are added to each Location individually. Tax Categories added to one region’s Location will not be available in another Location, should the second Location be in another region.

**PLEASE NOTE**: these Tax Categories are not taxes on Reservations, Events, Memberships, etc. The taxes within Tax Categories are ONLY in reference to the products in your Shop.

To learn more about taxes for Customer bookings, [**read this article**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/1351489). If you want taxes added to Customer bookings, contact your PodPlay CSM.

#### Add Tax Categories

To add taxes to products in your Location’s Shop:

* Click on the Tax Categories button on the right side of the screen

<figure><img src="/files/dfXZWXCx4i74HiCLLukG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Notice a side panel appears
* Click on the blue button labeled “Add Tax Category”

<figure><img src="/files/8OzqvpxXesbWe1cCNnbQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Enter the name of the Tax Category
  * This is a general name for the category, like: Kitchen, Merchandise, Services, etc.
  * You will want a Tax Category for each set of products sold that have different tax rates
* Type in the required tax name
  * This is the name of the tax visible during checkout and on receipts
  * If you need to add multiple tax lines, you can click on “Add Tax” to add an additional row
* Click on the blue “Save” button

<figure><img src="/files/dMcdLFsv7eRvJBXYSWHo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. If your venue’s Location charges different taxes for different products sold, you will need to add multiple Tax Categories. To do this, click on the blue “Add Tax Category” button again
2. For any of the Tax Categories, you can flick on the “Set as default” toggle to automatically apply that Tax Category to new products add to the Shop from the Product Catalog. If a Tax Category is set as the default, it will show a green checkmark next to the name.
3. Should you need to edit these taxes in the future, you can click on the pencil icon next to the tax rate and adjust the name of the Tax Category, the tax rate, or delete tax line items.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Two Things to Note:**

1. If you have multiple locations, you will need to add the Tax Categories to each venue’s location.
2. If there are items your Club is selling that will have a 0% tax rate, you can either:
   1. Delete the Tax Category from individual products when you [**Edit a Product in the Shop**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/8060737)
   2. Create a unique Tax Category that has a 0% tax rate and apply this Tax Category to all non-taxes products
      {% endhint %}

#### Assign Tax Categories

Now that you have Tax Categories (a single one or many), you can assign them to products in your Shop.

1. When items are [**Added to Shop from the Product Catalog**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/8070849), these items will automatically pick up any default Tax Category.
   1. The easier process is to select a default Tax Category
2. If no default Tax Category was selected, the items will not have a tax rate added.

If there is no Tax Category applied to a product, or if the incorrect Tax Category is added to multiple products, you can either:

* Assign the Tax Category on products one by one
  * Click on the three dots to the right of the product
  * Notice a side panel appears with the details of the product
  * Choose the Tax Category
  * Press the blue “Update” button at the bottom of the side panel
* Create a Bulk Action and assign the Tax Category to several products at one time
  * Filter by product Category
    * To learn more, read about [**Add to the Product Catalog**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/8071233)
  * Select the box at the top left (next to “Cart”) to highlight several products
  * Hover over “Bulk Actions”
  * Choose the “Assign Tax Category” action
  * Notice a small pop-up window will appear and will offer the available Tax Categories
  * Click on the blue “Assign” button to close the pop-up window and assign the selected Tax Category to all products highlighted

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podplay.app/payments/the-shop-page/add-to-shop-from-product-catalog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
