Retail product catalogs let you identify the products that you want to offer in your online stores. When you create a catalog, you identify the online stores that the products will be offered in, add the products that you want to include, and enhance the product offerings by adding merchandising details. After the catalog is completed, you must validate the contents, and submit the catalog for review and approval. You must then publish the catalog to make the catalog products available in the online store.

The topics in this section provide information about how to create and validate retail product catalogs, submit them for review and approval, and publish them.
