Partner catalog management

The Distributor is able to manage the product catalog for each of its Sellers. By doing so, the Seller Platform will reflect the products and buying prices determined by the Distributor. 

You can see the "Updated by" and "Updated date" for each catalog in the list of Partner catalogs to track changes.
Select the Catalog name for which you want to edit the Catalog or Create new:

10. Vendors - You can see the list of vendors that have products available in the catalog.

11. Delete - The product catalog can be deleted. Sellers using the deleted catalog will continue functioning. However, it will be impossible to manage deleted catalogs or add products for them.
A new catalog with the same name as the deleted one can be created.

12. Select All products to see all the available products. 

13. Not Published Products will not be displayed in the Catalog unless you will add them into the Categories.

 NOTE! If the product is not added to any of the categories, it will not be available for the Seller.

Filter - If tags are created (in "Partner Catalogs" →  "Edit catalog" →  "Edit Tags") for the products, you can then filter products based on the tags. In more detail read the article How to Add custom Tags to products?

NOTE! Product catalog changes are propagated to sellers, i.e. become visible to all sellers assigned to this catalog, only when adding new products. Changes are not visible in case of renaming, rearranging categories and products.
