Create a product catalog to manage SKUs, specifications, pricing, and availability for your sales team or customers.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Define your product data model
Products typically have: SKU, name, description, category, price, cost, stock status, dimensions, weight, specifications, and images. Decide which fields your team needs.
- 2
Describe the catalog to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a product catalog with products (name, SKU, category, description, price, cost, stock status, key specifications), category browser, a search function, and a related products field."
- 3
Import your product data
Add your products starting with bestsellers and most frequently requested items. A catalog with your top 100 products is immediately useful for sales teams.
- 4
Organize products into categories
Structure your catalog with a clear category hierarchy. Good categories make it easy for sales reps and customers to find what they need.
- 5
Add specifications and images
For each product, add technical specifications in a structured format. Link to product images or spec sheets. Complete data reduces back-and-forth with customers.
- 6
Keep pricing and availability current
Set a monthly review cadence to update prices and stock status. Outdated information in a product catalog erodes sales team trust.
