How the catalog works in New Market update?

Previously, market could only have 1 catalog. In the new Market, the market can have more than 1 catalog. Which catalog will be shown on the storefront?

Hi @aldo_prakoso1,

You can learn more about how Catalogs work in the new markets experience here, including details about the resolution behavior in storefront and checkout. When a market has multiple catalogs, we combine all the products available across those catalogs for the region and select the lowest price.

Hi Alex, thanks for the prompt response and the explanation. I’ve another question, in the docs said that we can set the submarket, how do I set it? Because I can’t find any option to set it.

The “market” object would also need an attribute to know if it is submarket or if it has children.

@aldo_prakoso1 The submarket is not manually set through the API as a specific field or argument. Instead, submarkets are determined by their conditions. For example, if I have a North America market that encompasses all NA regions, and then an individual Canada market, the Canada market would be considered a submarket of North America.

Thank you for your feedback, @albertogcatalan. How do you envision using this field, and what information would your API client require?

Hi @Alex-Shopify, thanks for this explanation.

Imagine if the market object has a “child” attribute with a submarket and a “parent” attribute if it is a submarket and needs checks on what the parent object is.
