Below is a quick overview of how Partner operations work with Catalog.
Order and inventory management
Inventory is synced dynamically from your Brand partners. Catalog does not place limits on orders outside of the Brand's inventory levels. You can manage all Brand partner inventory under the Inventory page within Catalog.
Shipping and carrier management
Catalog's dynamic shipping allows you to surface Brand's existing shipping rates to your customers in checkout. Brands ship via their preferred carriers as they would with their first-party orders. Learn more about Catalog's shipping options.
Multiple currencies
Catalog supports multiple currencies for both Partners and Brands. Catalog provides the option for international Brands to enable dynamic currency conversion for their product prices based on current exchange rates, or manage manually based on a fixed price list.
Catalog management
Once you've been approved to sell a Brand's products and added these items to your store, Catalog syncs all catalog data including product, inventory, and price from the Brand to your backend. Inventory and price remain synced in real time, but you can choose to receive other product data dynamically or on demand.
Product data you can update: descriptions, titles, images, and metadata.
Product data you cannot update: pricing and inventory.
