Catalog refers to:
the product database as a whole
Access to catalog data is determined by several factors, including:
the scope setting, the catalog configuration, and the root category that is assigned to the store.
In sales, the term catalog usually refers to a curation selection of products that is available for sale.
For example: a store might have a “Spring Catalog” and a “Fall Catalog”
The main menu (top navigation) of your store is based on:
a root category
The top navigation:
organizes products by category
A root category is:
a container for the menu that is assigned to the store.
Need to Know
Because the specific menu options are defined at the Store View level, each Store View can have a different main menu based on the same Root Category. Within each menu, you can offer a curated selection of products that is suitable for the Store.
Product Scope
For installations with multiple websites, stores, and views, the scope determines where products are available for sale and the product information that is available for each store view. Initially all products that you create are published to the default website, store, and store view.
Run Single Store Mode
to hide the scope settings if you have only a single store with the default view.
What is Product in Websites?
To define the scope of a product in a multisite installation (ie. product is in the Main Website and French Website, but not the German Website)
Product Scope <> Store View
Live Search…
delivers a fast, super-relevant, and intuitive search experience.
Scheduled Updates are applied consecutively, meaning..
Any entity can have only one scheduled update at one point of time. Any scheduled update is applied to all store views within its time frame. An entity cannot have different scheduled updates for different store views at the same time.
Category Permissions*
Category access can be limited to specific customer groups, or restricted entirely. You can control the display of product prices, and determine which customer groups can add products to the cart, and specify the landing page.
*Exclusive feature only in Adobe Commerce
Category Permissions – Example
If you sell only to wholesale customers, you can allow anyone to browse the catalog, but display prices and allow purchases only to those in the Wholesale customer group.
Category Permissions – Allow Permissions
If any Allow permissions are set for the Root Category, then these permissions are automatically applied to all subcategories and all products within the Catalog.
If and product is assigned to multiple categories, and it has any Allow permissions for at least one category, it automatically has the same Allow permissions for all assigned categories.
Product List & Multi-site Installations
Each website can offer a different selection of products for sale from the same catalog.
