Creating and Configuring Catalogs
Clarity caters to businesses and consumers and has a wide range of products. Damian, the category manager, must create a catalog to store these products. Some products are fulfilled by third-party suppliers, and they’ll have their own catalogs. This happens in a later module.
To create a new catalog,
-
Open the Global Menu () and navigate to Commerce → Catalogs.
-
Click Add () and enter this information:
Name: Clarity Product Catalog
Default Language: English (United States)
Currency: US Dollar
-
Click Submit.
After creating a catalog, a base price list and a base promotion list are also created automatically. There’s an option to add a default catalog image. When you don’t have images for products in the catalog, the default catalog image appears as the product image.
To add the default image,
-
Click on Select File in the Default Catalog Image card.
-
Choose

from the library. -
Click Save.
You also have the option to link the catalog to a supplier account. This happens in a later module, so for now, leave the rest of the defaults.
