Overview & Catalog Capacity

At the top of the Products Tab, you will find vital indicators and quick actions to manage catalog scale:
  • Capacity Counter: Displays the number of products currently added versus your plan limit (e.g., 16 / ∞ products for unlimited plans, 16 / 100 for Plus plans, or 5 / 5 (Gratis) for Free catalogs).
  • Convert to Premium Banner: If you are editing a Free catalog and your account has Premium credits, a banner allows you to upgrade the catalog with one click—instantly unlocking up to 100 products (or unlimited on Business plans), removing watermarks, and enabling HD rendering.
  • Add Product to Catalog: The prominent button to launch the selection sheet and import inventory into this catalog.

Adding Products to the Catalog

Clicking + Add Product to Catalog opens the full-screen inventory drawer, allowing you to select and configure products in bulk.
