Assigning a catalog filter to a contract: B2C stores

By using Commerce Lab, you can assign a catalog filter to the default contract for a B2C store. As a result, customers who are shopping on the store are entitled to the set of catalog entries that are defined in the assigned catalog filter.

For the base for default contract, you cannot use the following procedure because these default contracts are not viewable in Commerce Lab. Instead, you must edit the catalog filter name in the XML for the contract. For instructions, see ../../admin/tasks/tpnassigncatfilterinxml.html.

  2. From the left navigation menu, go to Business tools > Customer Management > Active Catalog Filter.

  4. Click Save.

Results

The catalog filter is now assigned to the store contract. You can sign in to the store and verify that the catalog entries that are shown on the storefront reflect the catalog filter that you assigned.
