What is this?
Storefront (the page itself is titled “Catalog Management”) is where you connect your Meta product catalogs to the platform and turn them into a browsable, sellable WhatsApp storefront — with products, orders, taxes, shipping, checkout, payment gateways, a custom domain, and the storefront’s own pages. Storefront has four parts, each on its own page:

Storefront needs an active channel connected to WhatsApp and a plan that includes it. Your Meta Business Account must be connected so catalogs can be fetched.
What can I do here?
- See Total Catalogs, Total Products, and Total Orders as tiles
- Search catalogs by name
- Add Catalog to fetch catalogs from your connected Meta Business Account and add one to the platform
- Per catalog, turn Visible (whether the catalog is shown) and Cart Enabled (whether customers can add items to a cart) on or off from the table
- Jump from a catalog row into Products, Orders, or Catalog Settings
- Delete a catalog
How to use it
- Go to Storefront in the sidebar. You’ll need an active channel with WhatsApp connected.
- Click Add Catalog. The platform fetches the catalogs available in your connected Meta Business Account — select the one you want to add. [SCREENSHOT: catalog-add-dialog — The “Select Catalog to Add” dialog listing catalogs pulled from Meta Business]
- Once added, use the Visible and Cart Enabled switches on the catalog’s row to control whether it’s shown to customers and whether checkout is available. [SCREENSHOT: catalog-table-toggles — The catalog table row showing the Visible and Cart Enabled toggle switches]
- Use the row’s icons to open the catalog’s Products, Orders, or Settings.
Troubleshooting / Technical Notes
- “Add Catalog” shows no catalogs. Your Meta Business Account has no catalogs available to add, or the account isn’t connected. Check the connection in Channels and create a catalog in Meta Commerce Manager.
- Customers can’t add items to a cart. Check that the catalog’s Cart Enabled switch is on.
- Customers can’t see the catalog. Check that the catalog’s Visible switch is on.
- The page asks you to connect WhatsApp. Storefront needs a WhatsApp channel — see Channels.
