Overview
What catalog architecture helps your team do.
Each part of the catalog has a clear job. A retail area sets the commercial context, a product standard defines the detail, a category organises the range and products use those decisions consistently.
Working steps
01
Set the retail area
Define the shared language and standards for an area such as fashion, electronics or home and hardware.
02
Set standards for product families
Keep required information close to the family where it is meaningful rather than making every field universal.
03
Keep categories simple
Use the category tree for stable navigation while product details supply the filters shoppers need.
