Select products to sell in a store

The Channel Manager can use the Catalog Filter to exclude categories and products for sale at the store. Click Filter Catalog from the contracts list to open the Catalog Filter.

Notes:

  1. If you would like to include some categories within a shared catalog for sale at the store, the best approach is to include the entire catalog and mark it at 0% off. Next, include and adjust all the categories that to sell, and then exclude all other top level categories. This process avoids having empty categories visible in the storefront (that is, displaying categories with no products beneath the category node).

  2. If a category's location has been changed in the catalog asset store, resellers must cancel the category's settings, save the changes, then set the product and SKU adjustment again using the Catalog Filter, to ensure that there is no change in price or availability in reseller products or SKUs. Resellers must also do the same for any subcategories within the changed category.


Procedure

  1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

  2. Open the Catalog Filter:

    • Click Merchandise > Catalog Filter.

    • From the contracts list click Update Catalog Filter (you can access a list of contracts by finding a contract, or from within the Contract notebook).

    • From the Channel, Extended sites, or Supplier menu, click Stores. From the Stores page, select the check box to the left of the hosted reseller service agreement for the store that you want work with and click Filter Catalog.

    The Catalog Filter page displays. If this is the first time you are accessing the Catalog Filter, there may be a delay before the catalog tree displays on the page. If you do not see this menu, then the logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact the Site Administrator.

  4. Click Save.
