Once you have enabled all of the products that you would like to offer on your website, you'll need to add them to a new or existing web product catalog. You may configure multiple product catalogs, but by default the products to be offered on the website will be polled from the default product catalog. The default catalog is denoted with a blue check mark icon, and it may or may not be named Default. For additional information on assigning catalogs to your Photo Finale website, please see the section on Application Settings in Chapter 3.

Creating additional product catalogs
You can create additional product catalogs to push remote pricing updates to your kiosks or to start setting up for a planned product offering change. This feature is often utilized by labs to change the products/pricing listed on the website for special promotions and then reverted back to the original information by simply changing which catalog is set as the default.
