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,

1. Open the Global Menu () and navigate to Commerce → Catalogs.

2. Click Add () and enter this information:

   Name: Clarity Product Catalog

   Default Language: English (United States)

   Currency: US Dollar

   

3. 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,

1. Click on Select File in the Default Catalog Image card.

2. Choose square-color.png from the library.

3. 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.
