Catalogs
Catalogs serve as a tool to structure your products.
The catalog concept allows you to create and manage catalogs.
Purpose
Catalogs allow you to manage categories with products and product-related information efficiently. With this feature, you can group categories into a logical structure with a specified name, description, and other additional properties. Both Catalog and Category Services are compatible with our existing Product Service. Emporix aims to provide a flexible and scalable solution for our customers so that they can manage and sell their products more efficiently.
Features
As part of our redesign of how products are stored, categorized, and managed in the Emporix platform, we have introduced a new catalog feature, which acts as a container for categories and products.
You can have multiple catalogs representing a products range available for different sites so that complex requirements may be modelled in the system.
The Emporix catalog concept comes with a set of features, described in the table below:
Localized catalog names and descriptions
Deliver catalog names and descriptions in languages that your business operates in.
Synchronized Catalog and Category Services
Every time you make any changes in the Category Service, they are automatically reflected in the Catalog Service.
✅ The Catalog Service automatically checks for any category-deleted events. Every time a root category is deleted, it is automatically removed from all catalogs it belonged to.
Category assignments
Assign categories to a catalog.
Visibility statuses
Decide which catalogs should appear on the storefront by setting their statuses to visible.
Time-limited catalogs
Along with enabling catalog visibility, set the specific timeframe for the catalogs to appear on the storefront.
✅ For example, promotional or seasonal catalogs visible on the storefront based on pre-set timeframes.
Multiple catalogs per tenant
Create and manage multiple catalogs for different purposes.
Supplier and seller catalogs
One catalog per product line or division
Seasonal catalogs
Multiple catalogs per site
Publish a number of catalogs on a site, available at the same time.
✅ Product catalog and promotional seasonal catalog.
