Presentation

Build a printable catalog without changing the product record.

A sales channel needs a feed. A showroom, agent, or trade fair needs a PDF or HTML catalog in your brand. Catalog templates control presentation only.

A catalog is not a feed

Prices, titles, and attributes stay on the product. The template decides how a selected set is shown: logo, cover, HTML, and CSS. Changing a template does not update a store and does not send a channel. Use it when a person needs a branded document, and keep the channel for systems.

Example: a furniture showroom needs forty chairs in German, with price and image, and without drafts. The same template can be reused next month. Only the product selection changes.

How to design a template

  1. Open Catalog templates and create a template. Insert tokens for title, SKU, description, price, image, and an attribute loop.
  2. Inside the product loop, target an attribute by its stable code, not by a translated label.
  3. Logo and cover images accept PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF up to 1 MB. Images are embedded so an export can be opened offline.
  4. Use the live preview while you edit. Save the template, then choose it from the catalog studio.

Manufacturer and unit type are not built-in product fields. If your workspace defines them as attributes, the template token is the attribute code, for example the manufacturer attribute on the product.

How to export

  1. Open Catalog. Set the title, template, and language. Turn on the fields you want: title, SKU, description, price, images, and attributes.
  2. Choose products by sales channel, by category, or by hand. Select page takes the current search page. Clear empties the selection.
  3. Include unpublished products only for an internal review. A public catalog normally stays on published records.
  4. Preview, then print or save as PDF from the browser, or download a ZIP. The ZIP includes up to three verified raster images per product. Preview links expire after one hour.
  5. If an export continues in the background, resume it with the job id.

The catalog language translates labels and uses a product translation where one exists. A missing translation falls back to the default language. Do not edit a price inside the template to "fix" a showroom PDF. Change the product, then export again.
