Managing Catalog Products
A complete guide to product management in MerchantOps.
Overview
The Catalog Products section is where you manage your verified, enriched products. Unlike Lakehouse Products (which are staged for review), catalog products are:
- Ready for enrichment or already enriched
- Assigned to a Product Type
- Available for export to external platforms
- Tracked with version history
Viewing Products
To access your product catalog:
- Navigate to Catalog → Products in the sidebar
- Browse the product list
- Use filters to narrow your view
List Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Product | Name, image, and SKU |
| Brand | Brand or manufacturer |
| Type | Product Type |
| Enrichment | Status and score |
| Published | Publication status |
| Updated | Last modification date |

- Search: Full-text search across all product fields
- Brand filter: Filter by brand name

Product Enrichment
AI enrichment enhances products with descriptions, attributes, and AI-optimized content. See Enrichment concepts for details on how it works.
Enrichment Status
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
pending | Waiting to be enriched |
in_progress | Currently being processed by AI |
completed | Successfully enriched |
failed | Enrichment encountered an error |
Enriching a Single Product
- Open the product detail page
- Click "Enrich"
- Confirm to start enrichment
- Wait for processing to complete
Enrichment Score
After enrichment, products receive a score (0-100) indicating data quality:
- 90-100: Excellent - comprehensive data found
- 70-89: Good - most attributes populated
- 50-69: Fair - some data found, may need review
- 0-49: Poor - limited data, consider manual entry
Tip:Low scores often indicate the product URL is incorrect or the brand website doesn't have detailed specifications. Try adding a better source URL.
Batch Operations
Select multiple products to perform batch actions:
Available Batch Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Batch Enrich | Queue selected products for AI enrichment |
| Export | Export selected products to CSV or other formats |

| Change Type | Reassign to a different Product Type |
| Delete | Remove selected products |
