Set up a catalog
A catalog is a named selection of products that the Attlaz product apps work on. Every app — Data Enrichment, Feed Management and Competitor Monitoring — operates on a catalog, so setting one up is the first thing you do.
A project can contain multiple catalogs, so you can keep, for example, a "Benelux webshop" catalog separate from a "German marketplace" catalog and manage each on its own.
What a catalog gives you
Once your products are in a catalog, you can:
- Enrich product information — combine multiple sources and generate content with AI (see Data Enrichment).
- Monitor prices — compare against competitors and see market trends (see Competitor Monitoring).
- Generate feeds — export your products to sales channels (see Feed Management).
- Scan for improvements — surface products with missing or weak information.
Choose a source
A catalog draws its products from a source connection — one of your configured adapter connections, such as Magento 2 or Shopify. When you create a catalog you:
- Select the source adapter connection the products come from.
- Optionally narrow the products the catalog includes with a sub-selection:
- by language,
- by categories,
- by attributes (for example, filter on SKU).
The sub-selection lets one source feed several focused catalogs instead of pulling in every product.
Import products
After you pick the source and sub-selection, Attlaz imports the matching products into the catalog. From there each app reads the catalog's products directly — for example, Data Enrichment lists them for enrichment and Competitor Monitoring matches them against competitor listings.
Once your catalog exists, switch between catalogs at any time using the catalog selector at the top of each app.
