A. What is a Catalog?

A Catalog is your printed product presentation brought to life digitally. You can open it on your iPad, click any product to view its details, and add it to your cart—all without leaving the presentation.

Your admin creates each Catalog in WizOrder or Publitas, a partner tool that integrates with WizOrder. Once published, the Catalog syncs with WizOrder and is ready to use in the field.

Each Catalog has three types of clickable areas:

• Product hotspots: Click to open the product, check the price, and add it to a cart.
  
  
• Link hotspots: Click to open a website page.
  
  
• Video hotspots: Click to play video.

D. When to Use a Catalog?

Catalogs work best when you want to show a buyer a specific set of products, not search the full presentation.

Common use cases include:

• Trade shows and showroom visits: Show buyers a seasonal or themed presentation with products ready to add to a cart.
• Showroom visits with limited floor space: Show your full inventory digitally when you can't physically display every product.
• New collection launches: Share a polished, branded presentation instead of a flat PDF.
• Customer-specific presentations: Walk through a presentation built for a buyer segment.
