A product catalog is a data feed that holds a list of your products and their metadata. These are commonly used if you're selling products online, but can also be used in other verticals, such as credit cards, travel, home listings, and more. Many brands will create a product catalog through their e-commerce (or shopping cart) solution, which can be exported and shared with impact.com.
If you need to modify, update, or delete specific catalogs, you can use filters to find the relevant catalogs faster.
From the left navigation bar, select
[Engage] → Content → Products → Product Catalogs.
On the Product Catalogs screen, use the top filter bar to set the filters you want.
See the Filter reference below for more information on each filter.
