Product Catalogues

A 'Product Catalogue' stores all the Products a retailer wants to sell and contains information that helps identify each product (e.g., name, color, description, product code).

A retailer can have one or more Product Catalogues containing all their products. Each Product Catalogue type has a corresponding workflow, referred to as 'Product Catalogue Workflow', used to orchestrate products in the Product Catalogue. The retailer can configure workflows to add their specific business logic.

  • Variant Product
