The Catalog turns what you sell into something a customer can confidently choose and pay for. Each product brings its description, price, choices, images, availability, inventory, and shipping details together, while checkout validates the current information before creating a one-time order.

ProfitJam supports physical products, digital products, and services. The same Catalog can therefore hold a shipped item, a downloadable purchase, and a service package without blurring the details customers need for each one.

Match the product to your Business Brain

Your Business Brain → Offer and your Catalog product work together, but they have different jobs:

• The Business Brain describes what you sell, the promise behind it, its pricing context, and the customer outcome. ProfitJam uses that context when it generates pages, campaigns, emails, and social content.
• The Catalog product is the exact item a customer sees, selects, and buys. It controls the checkout name, description, price, currency, options, stock, images, shipping, and availability.

When an offer changes, update both places. Keep the customer promise and positioning accurate in the Business Brain, then make the precise buying details match in the Catalog. Review the live storefront and any important sales page too, so the public promise, the checkout, and the follow-up all describe the same thing.

Create a product

1. Open Catalog and select Create.
2. Choose the product type:

• Physical for an item that may need inventory, weight, and shipping.
• Digital for a paid item you provide after the order, such as a download or access details.
• Service for work, a session, or a package you arrange with the buyer after the order.

1. Add a clear title and description. Explain what the customer receives and any important delivery or service conditions.
2. Enter the base price and currency.
3. Create the product. It starts as a draft, so you can finish it before customers see it.

Complete the selling details

Open the product and work through the details that apply.

Price and organization

Confirm the base price and currency. Add a SKU when it helps you identify the product internally, and use vendor, category, and tags to keep a larger Catalog organized.

Options and variants

Add up to three options when customers need choices such as size, color, or format. The option values create the combinations customers can select.

Each variant can have its own price, SKU, inventory quantity, availability, and physical weight. This makes one product page useful for a complete family of choices while keeping checkout and stock precise.

Photos

Add a strong featured image first, then arrange supporting images in the order a customer should see them. ProfitJam prepares uploaded product photos for web delivery and keeps one image as the product's featured image.

Inventory

Turn on inventory tracking when quantity matters. Set the available quantity on the product or on each variant. ProfitJam checks current availability at checkout and deducts tracked stock after payment succeeds.

Shipping for physical products

Mark a physical product as requiring shipping when it needs delivery. Add its weight, then use the store's default shipping rates or choose product-specific rates. Checkout collects the delivery address and adds the applicable shipping charge for an order that requires shipping.

Make the product available

Use the product status to control when customers can buy it:

• Draft keeps a new or unfinished product out of the public storefront.
• Active makes the product available through the storefront and checkout.
• Archived takes it out of public sale while keeping the record in your Catalog.

You can also reorder products for the storefront, duplicate an existing product as a new draft, or delete a product you no longer need. Duplicating is a quick way to reuse a similar set of options, variants, and images without rebuilding it from the beginning.

Handle the order

Catalog checkout is designed for one-time purchases. ProfitJam uses the current Catalog details to validate the item, chosen variant, price, currency, and stock, then records the buyer and order after payment.

For a physical order, use the delivery and fulfilment details in Orders to send the item. For a digital product or service, the paid order is your handoff: ProfitJam sends the receipt and gives you the buyer and item details needed to provide the download or access information, or to arrange the service. You can also configure which team recipients receive new-order notifications.

Warning: Catalog checkout does not currently calculate sales tax. U.S. state and local requirements vary, and a physical or economic presence in a state may create a collection obligation; the U.S. Small Business Administration summarizes the general context.

Common questions

How does a Business Brain Offer relate to a Catalog product?

The Business Brain Offer gives ProfitJam the context it needs to understand and communicate what you sell. The Catalog product carries the exact buying details used by the storefront and checkout. Keep both aligned whenever the promise or buying details change.

Can one product have different choices and prices?

Yes. Add up to three options, such as size, color, and format. ProfitJam creates the variants, and each variant can carry its own current price, SKU, stock, availability, and physical weight.

How do customers receive a digital product?

The paid order and receipt begin the follow-up. Open the order to see the buyer and item details, then provide the download or access information promised in the product description.

How do I arrange a purchased service?

Open the paid order and use the buyer details to arrange the service. Make the next step clear in the product description so the customer knows what to expect after payment.

What kind of purchase does Catalog checkout create?

Catalog checkout creates a one-time purchase. Write the product description and follow-up around the single order the customer is placing.

Can I hide a product without deleting it?

Yes. Keep an unfinished product as a draft, or archive a product you want to remove from public sale while retaining its Catalog record.
