Catalogues enable you to create custom product views for customers. You can create product catalogues and assign them to specific customers.

For example, if you want to create a New Season Sale catalogue only for a specific customer base.

Points to Note

• The default list of products in your B2B Portal is the default/base catalogue.
• If you want to make certain products only available on the customer catalogues, you must keep these products hidden on the default/base catalogue. If you do not mark the remaining products as Hidden on the base catalogue, they will still be available on the customer catalogue.

• You can create catalogues to include a subset of the products in the base catalogue. The status selected for the specific catalogue will override the base catalogue product status.
