What is a Custom Catalog?
Custom catalogs are built from reusable sections. If no sections exist yet, you’ll be prompted to create them. Sections can be added, removed, rearranged, or updated at any time, giving you flexibility to tailor catalogs for specific buyers, seasons, or promotions.
Steps to Create a Custom Catalog
Start Catalog Creation
From the Dashboard or Catalogs page, click Create Custom Catalog.
If this is your first catalog, you can also start from the Get Started Dashboard.
👉 Result: You’re redirected to the Create Custom Catalog page.
Fill in Header Details
Add a title, subtitle, contact information, promotion, and internal key (optional).
The title is displayed in the catalog URL when shared.
The internal key can be used to track sections that are intended for particular catalogs.
A default logo displays automatically (or is hidden by default if logo display is turned off).
You can keep it hidden, turn it on, or replace it with a new image.
Each custom catalog can have its own unique logo.
👉 Result: Your entered values and logo settings display on the page.
Assign Sections
Click Add Sections → a modal opens.
Select one or more sections, then click Update.
👉 Result: The sections you select appear under “Assigned Sections.”
Rearrange Sections
Use drag-and-drop to reorder assigned sections.
👉 Result: The section order updates and will appear in the PDF catalog.
Create Catalog
Click Create.
👉 Result:You’re redirected to the Edit Catalog page.
A green success bar confirms the catalog was created.
If processing takes longer, a yellow status message displays. While processing, catalog links and buttons remain disabled until the catalog is ready.
Quick Start Option
From the Get Started Dashboard, you can watch a 90-second demo that shows how a custom catalog is created using both section types (Collection and Product). This is the fastest way to see the workflow end to end.
