Create a new Catalog
To create a new product catalog in the Photoslurp dashboard, select Products in the left-hand menu and click Create A New Catalog, see below:
Catalog settings
In turn, the Add new catalog page will appear:
- Configure the catalog name.
- Enter a description. (optional)
- Enter the URL of the store product feed.
- Select the "Fetch now" checkbox to make that the Photoslurp servers download and import the product feed upon saving.
- (Only for Google product feeds having group identifiers)
When the "Do you want to hide product variants?" checkbox is selected, only the first product pertaining to a group identified by the Google product feed group field "g:item_group_id" will appear in the Photoslurp catalog listing, and in search suggestions inside the products assignment form. - Click "Create catalog" button to finish.
Note: Please allow a few minutes for our servers to download and process the product feed - that's if you've checked the "Fetch now" checkbox.
Setting the default catalog 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 a requested language is not available, the default product feed will always be returned. To do this, click on the Update catalog button:
The product catalog configuration page will then be displayed, which now has the Default product language field available. Here, you must choose the default language code among those shown.
Now all is ready to link your Photoslurp campaigns to this newly created catalog!
