Creating a new Catalog in the dashboard
To create a new product catalog in the Photoslurp dashboard, select Products in the left-hand menu and click Create A New Catalog, as seen below:
Catalog adjustments
In turn, the Add new catalog page will appear:
- Configure the catalog 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 that 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 an identified group will appear in the Photoslurp catalog listing, and in search suggestions inside the product assignment form.
- Click "Create catalog" button to finish.
Finally, to enable catalog auto-updates, 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: 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.
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 product catalogs 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.
