Keep the catalogue, feature it on the profile
A business keeps a categorised product catalogue and features some of it in a showcase strip on its profile; a customer taps a product and previews its name, price and stock status. Online ordering is not open to customers yet.
Categorised catalogue
Products are grouped into categories; a category still holding products can't be deleted.
Showcase
Products featured on the business profile show up in a showcase strip — and the strip doesn't appear at all until something is actually featured.
Product preview
A customer taps a product in the showcase or the full catalogue and sees its name, price and stock status.
Shipping and order settings
Shipping fees, a minimum order total, and a per-line quantity cap are all set from the same settings, on the phone or in the panel.
True of every screen in this section
Ownership is re-checked on every write
Only the user matching the owner field on the business document can create, update or delete a product, a category, or the shipping and order settings; the server rule checks this separately on every single write.
An unpublished business's catalogue stays private
Until a business is published, only its owner can read its products, categories and shipping settings; once published, any signed-in user can read them.
- ProductsThe product list a business owner manages from the phone and the panel: adding, editing, deleting; category and showcase management are reached from here.
- ShowcaseThe mobile screen where a business owner picks up to twelve products to feature on the profile, drags them into order, and turns the showcase on or off for customers.
- Product CategoriesThe mobile screen where a business creates, renames and deletes its product categories.
- Product FormThe mobile form used to create a new product or edit an existing one.
- OrdersThe screen that lists a business's orders and lets it act on them; the list stays empty today because there is no way for a customer to place one.
- Commerce SettingsShipping fee, collection window, minimum order total, maximum quantity per product and return window — from the phone or the panel.
