What it is
A retail product-catalog app is a public, browsable web catalog of the products a shop carries, complete with photos, prices, categories, and in-stock status. It acts as a digital shelf so customers can discover what you stock and check availability before visiting or contacting the store.
What your retail product catalog tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for retail.
Product name
Shoppers search by name, so a clear, consistent product title is the front door to discovery.
Retail price
Price is the first thing retail shoppers check, so a visible price per item is non-negotiable.
Category / department
Retail ranges are broad, so departments and categories let shoppers browse the way they'd walk the store.
In-stock status
Shoppers want to know it's available before making a trip, so a stock flag reduces wasted visits.
Brand
Many retail shoppers filter by brand, so a brand field powers a familiar way to narrow choices.
Product images / gallery
Retail is visual, so multiple angles help a shopper decide without handling the item.
Variant (size / color)
One product often comes in options, so variants keep the shelf accurate and complete.
Barcode / UPC
A UPC ties the online listing to the physical item, so staff can match catalog to shelf.
Short description
A concise description answers the shopper's obvious questions and supports search.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers buy products online through the catalog?+
Not as a full e-commerce checkout. Kleap builds a catalog that shows products, prices, and stock, and you can add a 'reserve' or 'enquire' request form. It does not process card payments or shipping, so it's best as a digital shelf that drives in-store visits or contact, not an online store with a cart.
Does the stock status update automatically from my POS?+
No. Kleap does not integrate with POS or inventory systems, so in-stock status is a field you update in the catalog yourself (individually or in bulk). Many shops review it daily; it stays accurate as long as you keep the records current.
Can I organize products by department like in the shop?+
Yes. Categories and sub-categories let you mirror your store layout, and search plus filters (brand, category) let shoppers narrow the range the same way they'd walk an aisle.
Is there an app customers download?+
No native app. The catalog is a responsive website, so customers browse it in any phone or desktop browser without installing anything from the App Store or Google Play.
