This section describes the steps you must complete to prepare a catalog for business contacts to shop on your store. It also describes how to edit or delete existing catalogs.
To create an account-specific catalog:
On the Catalog tab, click the New Catalog button.
Enter the Catalog Name and Catalog ID.
You cannot change the Catalog ID once you create the catalog.
Click Create.
Now you can add collections from the master catalog to the catalog you just created.
To add collections to an account-specific catalog:
Click the Collections link on the left-hand side of the catalog’s details page.
Click the Edit button.
Select a collection from the list. You can filter the list by typing or pasting some text in the Collections box.
The filter control matches letters or numbers that you type, wherever they appear in the name or ID, not just at the beginning. Usually, as you type more characters, there are fewer matches. When you see the item you want, select it.
Note: Selecting a child collection does not add its parent collections to the catalog.
Click Add Selected.
Click Done when you finish adding collections.
You can now publish your changes to make the catalog available to accounts. See Publish Changes for more information.
Once you have created an account-specific catalog, added collections from your master catalog to it, and published your changes, you can associate it with one or more accounts. You can assign a catalog to more than one account, but you cannot assign more than one catalog to a single account. See Work with account contracts for more information.
You can change an existing catalog’s name and associated collections; you cannot change its ID. You can delete any account-specific catalog that is not associated with an account. You cannot delete the master catalog.
To edit or delete an account-specific catalog:
Select the catalog to edit or delete:
You can select an account-specific catalog for editing in one of the following ways:
On the Catalog tab, select a catalog from the drop-down list at the top of the catalog page to display the catalog.
On the Catalog tab, click the Manage Catalogs button and select All Catalogs. Click the name of the catalog you want to edit.
To edit the catalog, click Edit Catalog, then change the catalog name or collections. Click Save when you finish making changes.
To delete the catalog, click Edit Catalog, then click the Delete button.
If the catalog is already associated with accounts, you must first remove it from all accounts before you can delete it. See Work with account contracts for more information.
