The Product Catalog is where you can control all of your products and match them with your competitors. The Product Catalog includes all of the unique products from your webshop as well as those of your competitors.
Monitoring your products against your competitors’ products in the Product Catalog is done via product matching. To learn more about product matching please read this helpful article on how to match products and start comparing your prices!
The Sniffie Product Catalog is organizes your extracted products in the form of a table according to the following fields:
If you have bought the Price Monitoring module; by default the Product Catalog is filtered to show your own products. You can edit this view mode from the upper-left corner of the product table. If you have not purchased the Price Monitoring module, the table will show you "All products" by default.
