Tutorial: Creating views for multiple catalogs in a store

Attention: This tutorial is currently under revision. The content might contain errors or inaccuracies. Subscribe to this page to be notified when an updated version is available.

In this tutorial you learn how to create multiple catalogs for a store. Then you learn how to create views for those catalogs. Finally we will create links from the store home page to each of the views you create. There can be many reasons to have multiple catalogs. For example, you might have a requirement for one holiday sales catalog and one spring sales catalog. Instead of creating two different stores with two separate master catalogs, you can create two sales catalogs from one master catalog, and then modify the store to display a particular sales catalog when the customer uses the URL you set up for that purpose. You can also provide a link back to the master catalog so the customer can see all the items in the catalog.
