How you organize products in your online store plays a major role in how customers find and buy them.

With NEXT BASKET, you get ecommerce catalog management that gives you ready-made solutions for online catalogs and individual product pages.

What is a product catalog?

Your product catalog is the section of your store website where shoppers find information about all the different products or services you offer.

Product catalogs put product listings in one easy-to-view location, typically separated by product category. 

For example, if you sell bedding, your online product catalog might have categories for duvets, duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases, pillows, toppers, and mattress pads.

The online catalog should have features to filter by product attributes, such as:

  • Size
  • Color
  • Brand
  • Price
  • Fabric, etc.

Digital catalogs should be arranged so visitors can see at a glance what you offer and then click on or search for the specific product they want. 

Ideally, they make large catalogs less time-consuming to browse prove to be super helpful for shoppers’ quick buying decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are product catalogs and product pages the same thing?

Not quite. A product catalog sorts and displays your products by categories so customers can see them in one place and know what you sell. For example, if you sell women’s clothing, you may see categories for outerwear, pants, skirts, tops, and accessories.

A product page is a page for an individual product. A customer might see your catalog for women’s clothing, click on “outwear,” and then navigate to the product page for a coat they’re interested in. There, they can see available colors, sizes, and a detailed product description.

How much does ecommerce catalog management affect sales?

Catalog management is essential for the success of your ecommerce website. Without good catalog management, it’s difficult for customers to find what they’re looking for. If customers miss items, you can miss out on sales. If it takes them a long time to find a desired product, they may leave the site or fail to come back again.

What if I sell through different sales channels?

If you sell through multiple sales channels and online stores, NEXT BASKET can assist your business with catalog management for each different channel. Just let us know how we can help!
