PIM has one shared catalogue used by every EcomCart PIM customer. EcomCart maintains it, and supplier data flows into it.
When you edit a product, your edits are stored separately — as your changes (technically an "overlay"). Your store uses your value; everywhere else the catalogue value stays.
Why this is useful
- You can adapt texts to your style without breaking data for others.
- When a supplier updates its data, your edits stay.
- Fields you haven't changed automatically get the latest catalogue data.
Where to see your changes
On the product card click Your changes (or ⋯ → Your changes and publishing in the list). The page shows:
- Texts — the catalogue value next to yours;
- Properties and dimensions — the same;
- Image selection — which catalogue images to show, in what order, and which is the main one;
- Publishing per channel × language.
If a field has no edit of yours, it shows — no override —.
How to go back to the catalogue value
- Open Your changes.
- Empty the field with your edit.
- Click Save overlay.
The field shows the catalogue value again. Image selection has a Revert to base button.
Images
You can't upload your own images — images are shared by all stores. You can choose which catalogue images to show, their order and the main image. If a product is missing an image, contact support.
Status in assortment
PIM tracks whether you've changed a product:
- Selected — the product is in your assortment without your edits;
- Enriched — you've added your own changes;
- Off — the product is in your assortment but not used (not published).
