Catalogs
Catalogs let you create different pricing and different item availability for different customers. For example, you might have a "Wholesale" catalog with lower prices and a "Retail" catalog that hides certain items. This page covers creating and managing your catalogs — for setting up pricing and availability within a catalog, see Catalogs: Custom Pricing and Availability.
Important: Catalogs control both custom pricing AND availability. For example, if a Brand has 10 items they sell, they might make only 8 of them available to Distributors (via a "Wholesale" catalog) because 2 are exclusive to direct-to-store sales (in a "Retail" catalog). This means catalogs control not just what price customers see, but which items they can see and purchase at all.
How to Get There
Go to Configure > Catalogs (under the Data section) in the sidebar.
Creating a Catalog
- Click + New Catalog.
- Enter a name for the catalog (like "Wholesale" or "VIP").
- Optionally add a description.
- The new catalog is saved and ready to use.
You can also create a catalog directly from the Sell > Catalog page — type a new name into the catalog selector dropdown and click Create New Catalog.
Default vs Custom Catalogs
You can mark one catalog as the Default:
- The default catalog acts as the fallback for customers without a specific catalog assigned.
- Only one catalog can be the default at a time.
- Switching the default shows a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental changes.
All other catalogs are custom catalogs that you assign to specific customers.
Managing Catalogs
On this page you can:
- Rename a catalog by clicking its name
- Add a description by clicking the description field
- Archive a catalog by setting its status to Inactive (it won't appear in dropdowns but isn't deleted)
- Reactivate an archived catalog by setting it back to Active
Clicking a catalog name takes you directly to the Sell > Catalog page filtered to that catalog, where you can set prices and availability.
Storefront Settings
If you use the Peasy Storefront, catalogs have additional settings on this page:
- Storefront Enabled — Whether this catalog is available on the storefront.
- Storefront Default — The catalog shown to visitors who aren't logged in or don't have a specific catalog assigned. Only one catalog can be the storefront default.
Good to Know
- Only active catalogs appear in dropdowns and selectors.
- You can create as many catalogs as you need for different customer tiers, regions, or pricing arrangements.
