Assign categories and products to a shared catalog
The shared catalog configuration process includes assigning categories and products to the shared catalog. To assign these items to a shared catalog, the following conditions must be met:
-
The category structure must already be defined. You cannot create a new category to be included in a shared catalog. Use endpoints like
POST /V1/categoriesto create a new category. -
Each category must already be populated with products. You cannot add a new product to a category to be included in a shared catalog. Use endpoints like
POST /V1/productsto create a new product.
Assign categories
The sharedCatalogCategoryManagementV1 service is based on catalogCategoryManagementV1. To view a store’s category structure, call GET /V1/categories.
Products that are defined within a category are not included when you assign a category to a shared catalog. You must add products separately.
