Introduction

Sales Layer has its own Instant Catalog connector, very useful for sharing information easily and generating purchase orders, if you have the extended version.

With this connector, it is possible to quickly generate a customized microsite, with the products and the fields you want to include.

There are two types of Instant Catalogs. The Instant Catalog Lite is a catalog with basic functionalities, ideal for simple management without a purchase option. It allows us to add contact data but does not have the rest of the advanced functionalities offered by the Instant Catalog Extended, which are included in the Enterprise accounts.

The Instant Catalog Lite does not have a search engine, nor the ability to generate purchase orders or configure everything related to the purchase of items. Thus, you will not be able to generate personalized URLs, add a password to restrict access to the catalog, have the option to be indexed by search engines, add the Javascript code of your Google Analytics, or download the product sheets in PDF.

When you open the connector, you will see that it is only possible to configure the parameters of this type of catalog, as shown in the following screenshot:

FEATURES OF THE EXTENDED CATALOG: 

• URL customization and restricted access with a password.
• Fields configuration (in categories, products, and variants) for the Search in IC.
• Prevent content from being indexed by search engines.
• Analytical tracking JavaScript Code option.
• Online order placing and management.
• Choose the currency.
• Deactivate fields from the order form, for example, the phone number or the company name.
• Create new mandatory or optional fields in the order form.
• Option of receiving an email with a CSV file, containing all order information made by the customer.
• Generation of product sheets in PDF.

Some of the most important advantages of the connector are:

• Create digital catalogs in a matter of minutes. You can publish as many as you need.
• Direct access to the Digital Catalog via URL, without any intermediaries. Thanks to the Extended version, you can even protect it with a password for more security.
• Constant update information from the PIM. You can share only a selection of your entire catalog, selecting only the desired products and their attributes.
• Create a multilanguage catalog, selecting as many languages ​​as you wish from your platform. 

Tip: If you are interested in the Extended Catalog, you can contact us through our usual support ways.
