Creating a new Catalog in the dashboard
To create a new product catalog in the Photoslurp dashboard, select Products in the menu located on the left and click on Create A New Catalog, as seen below:
Catalog settings
After clicking on the Create a New Catalog button, the "Add new catalog" page will be displayed:
- Set the catalog’s name.
- Enter a description. (optional)
- Enter the URL of the product feed that you configured in STEP 1 - Export the Store Product Feed
- Select the "Fetch now" checkbox to make the Photoslurp servers download and import the product feed upon saving.
- When the "Do you want to hide product variants?" checkbox is selected, only the first product pertaining to a group ID will appear in both the Photoslurp catalog and in search suggestions when assigning products to media. Variants will not be displayed.
- Click the Create catalog button to finish.
To make sure that your catalog updates automatically, the file on your server should be accessible from the platform. Our platform will then automatically download the file every 24 hours and update your catalog.
Note: If you've checked the "Fetch now" checkbox, please allow a few minutes for our servers to download and process the product feed.
Set catalog's default language
The Photoslurp platform will automatically detect all of the available languages in the product feed. We do, however, highly recommend configuring a fall-back language for your product catalog. What this means is that if the widgets request a language that is not available, the default product feed will always be returned. To do this, click on the Update catalog button:
The Update catalog configuration page will be displayed, where you’ll find the Default product language field, where you can type in one of the available language codes shown.
