Connect a Product Catalog

Connect a Product Catalog

Catalogs are where your blank products come from. Drip Merch can connect to major wholesale suppliers so you can pull in styles, colors, sizes, and wholesale pricing without entering everything by hand. You can also keep your own products in a custom catalog.

Available catalogs

From Settings → Catalogs, you can work with:

  • S&S Activewear — Premium wholesale apparel.
  • SanMar — A leading promotional products supplier.
  • Custom Catalog — Add your own products manually when they aren't available from a wholesaler.
  • Connect a wholesale catalog

  • Go to Settings → Catalogs.
  • Find the catalog you want to use, such as S&S Activewear or SanMar.
  • Click to connect it and follow the prompts.
  • Once connected, the catalog's styles become available to import into your product list.
  • If you ever need to stop using a catalog, you can disconnect it from the same page.

    Sync catalog products

    After connecting, Drip Merch keeps catalog data in sync so your products reflect current styles, colors, sizes, and wholesale costs. Syncing brings in the supplier's style information — including product images and variant details — so your listings stay accurate.

    Use the Custom Catalog

    Not every product comes from a wholesaler. For your own items, the Custom Catalog lets you add products manually with your own details, colors, sizes, images, and pricing. This is the path to take when you're building a fully custom product rather than decorating a stock blank.

    What's next

    With a catalog connected, you're ready to build products:

  • Import a blank from a connected wholesale catalog, or
  • Create a custom product from scratch.
  • From there you can decorate products in the designer and add them to your storefronts.
