Catalogs tool
Use the Catalogs tool in Management Center to manage catalogs, categories, catalog entries, merchandising associations, product attributes, and attachments in your store.

You define catalog data in groups of categories and products. Catalog data contains descriptions and pricing information for products and services.

The Category Manager or Product Manager determine the best way to display, price, and sell products in the online store, including assigning or changing product attributes.
