A product store has all the information needed to sell products. It is composed of a series of catalogs, which are composed of product categories and products. Each store can have its own shipping, fulfillment, notification, promotions, payment processing, and tax calculation policies. A product store can point to several different websites, allowing the same products to be sold on multiple hosted sites or domains.

Catalog
A product catalog is used to group many product categories together and forms an intermediate step in the organization of products, categories, and stores. The product catalog can be used to define a common look and feel for all categories in this catalog and specify the way different categories will behave. For example, it is very useful for stores which sell products from a different manufacturer or completely different product types that require differing presentations to the customer.

Category
A category is a group of usually similar products which are presented together for the customer's convenience. A category can have both products and other subcategories and can have its own descriptions and images.Categories provide navigation for the site and containers for the products. If a product is not in a category then it will not appear in the search.
