Custom Catalog
Custom Catalog controls which products a signed-in customer can see and buy. Products can come from named catalogs assigned to customers or customer groups, plus direct product grants for individual customers.
Choose an access mode
- Override hidden if assigned lets an assignment make an otherwise hidden product available. Products that are normally visible remain available.
- Strict whitelist (assigned only) limits the customer to products allowed through active assigned catalogs or direct grants.
The first mode adds exceptions to the normal catalog. Strict mode creates a private assortment.
How assignments combine
A customer's allowed set can include products from directly assigned catalogs, catalogs assigned to the customer's group, and direct customer-product grants. Catalog audience assignments are store-view scoped, and inactive catalogs do not contribute products.
The customer account includes a My Products page. It can show all allowed products, catalog products only, or direct grants only.

The optional REST API manages named catalogs and their assignments, and the Hyvä compatibility package provides the storefront integration for Hyvä themes — see the add-on overview.
