Manage shared catalogs

Manage custom shared catalogs

B2B for Adobe Commerce provides two types of shared catalog: public and custom. A public catalog is the default shared catalog. It is automatically displayed to all guest customers and to logged-in customers that are not company users. The seller assigns a custom shared catalog to specific companies as configured by admin. There can only be one public catalog, and it cannot be deleted.
