Product Catalog

Your product catalog is a shop page that reflects all the available products you have in Simplero. This can be added as a page on your site or as a section on a page on your Simplero site.

There are 3 types of products: 

  1. Listed in your product catalog. Everyone can get to it.
  2. Unlisted but available for purchase. In other words, you need to be given the URL to purchase.
  3. Closed - not available for purchase, not listed anywhere

Before adding products to your Catalog

Before you add any product to your product catalog you will need to configure the product itself first.

  1. Select Products from your Simplero Dashboard
  2. Select the Products tab
  3. Select a product from your list
  4. Select the Selling tab and complete the following areas...
    • Availability - Listed, Unlisted or Closed
    • Primary sales page - select The Primary sales page to use for this product: Catalog page, Stand-alone sales page
    • Catalog overview copy - Short description for catalog overview page
    • Catalog detail copy - Detailed description for full catalog page
    • Click the blue Save changes button
