Managing Your Catalog

The Catalog section of the Deenruv admin panel is where you manage everything related to the products you sell. This includes creating and editing products, organizing them into collections, and defining facets for filtering and categorization.

Products

Products are the core of your catalog. In Deenruv, a Product is a container that holds one or more Product Variants. The product provides the name, description, and images, while variants hold the price, SKU, and stock information.

Viewing the product list

Navigate to Catalog → Products in the admin panel sidebar. You will see a paginated list of all products with columns for the product image, name, and status (enabled/disabled).

You can:

• Search for products by name using the search bar
• Filter products by facet values to narrow down results
• Sort products by name, creation date, or other fields

Creating a product

1. Click the Create product button in the product list view.
2. Fill in the basic product details:
   • Name — the display name of the product
   • Slug — the URL-friendly identifier (auto-generated from the name)
   • Description — a rich text description of the product
3. Upload a featured image and any additional product images in the Assets section.
4. Assign facet values to the product for categorization and filtering (e.g., Brand: "Nike").
5. Click Create to save the product.

Adding variants

After creating a product, you need to add at least one variant:

1. In the product detail view, navigate to the Variants tab.
2. To create variants from options, first add Option Groups (e.g., "Size" with options Small, Medium, Large).
3. Click Generate variants to automatically create variants for all option combinations.
4. For each variant, set:
   • SKU — a unique stock keeping unit code
   • Price — the sale price (entered in the smallest currency unit, e.g., cents)
   • Stock — the stock on hand at each stock location
   • Tax Category — which tax category applies to this variant
5. Save the product to persist the variant changes.

Enabling and disabling products

Products and individual variants can be enabled or disabled. A disabled product or variant will not appear in the Shop API results, effectively hiding it from your storefront without deleting it.

Toggle the Enabled switch at the top of the product detail view to control product visibility.

Collections

Collections are how you organize and categorize your product catalog. They form the navigation structure of your storefront (e.g., "Men's Clothing", "Electronics", "Sale Items").

Creating a collection

1. Navigate to Catalog → Collections in the admin panel.
2. Click Create collection.
3. Enter a Name, Slug, and optionally a Description and featured image.
4. Define Collection Filters to automatically populate the collection:
   • Filter by facet values — include products matching specific facet values
   • Filter by product variant name — include variants whose names match a pattern
   • Manually select products — hand-pick specific products
   • Manually select variants — hand-pick specific variants
5. Click Create to save.

Nesting collections

Collections support a tree hierarchy. To nest a collection:

1. When creating or editing a collection, select a Parent collection from the dropdown.
2. Enable Inherit filters if you want the child collection to combine its filters with the parent's filters. This means the child will contain a subset of the parent's products.

Reordering collections

Collections have a configurable display order. In the collections list view, you can drag and drop collections to reorder them. This order is exposed via the Shop API and can be used by your storefront to determine menu ordering.

Facets

Facets are structured labels that you apply to products and variants. They power both storefront filtering (faceted search) and internal business logic such as promotions and collection rules.

Understanding facets and facet values

A Facet is a category of attributes (e.g., "Brand", "Color", "Material"). Each facet contains one or more Facet Values (e.g., Brand: "Nike", "Adidas", "Puma").

Facet values can be assigned to:

• Products — for product-level attributes like brand
• Product Variants — for variant-level attributes like color or size

Creating a facet

1. Navigate to Catalog → Facets in the admin panel.
2. Click Create facet.
3. Enter the facet Name and Code (a unique identifier).
4. Optionally mark the facet as Private if it should not be exposed to the storefront (useful for internal categorization, such as flagging items for promotions).
5. Add Facet Values by entering their names and codes.
6. Click Create to save.

Assigning facet values to products

1. Open a product in the product detail view.
2. In the Facet Values section, search for and select the desired facet values.
3. Save the product.

You can also assign facet values to individual variants within the Variants tab.
