Manage suppliers, manufacturers and categories

Keep the supplier, manufacturer and category lists tidy so the product library stays consistent and easy to filter.

LMLee Moss · DirectorUpdated 25 July 2026
Suppliers, manufacturers and categories are simple shared lists. Anything you add becomes available when you create products and, for categories, appears as a filter in the product library.
  1. 01

    Open the lists

    In the Products section of the navigation, open Manufacturers, Suppliers or Categories. Each page shows the current entries with a search box at the top.

  2. 02

    Add a new entry

    Select Add New, type the name and save. The entry is available across the workspace straight away.

  3. 03

    Edit an existing entry

    Open an entry from the list to rename it. Use the search to find duplicates before you add something new.

  4. 04

    Manage everything from the library

    In Products > Library, open the more-actions menu and choose Manage lists. The panel has tabs for Categories, Manufacturers and Suppliers so you can add, rename and remove entries without leaving the library.

  5. 05

    Use the lists on products

    When you add a product to the library, the Manufacturer, Supplier and Category fields offer the entries you have created. Categories also appear as filter chips across the top of the library.

Good to know

  • Agree one naming convention (for example, the manufacturer's own brand spelling) so the lists stay free of duplicates.
  • Tidy the lists before a bulk CSV import so imported products match your existing entries.
