Blog | Photoship - Digital Catalogue Tips & E-commerce Insights

Creating a product catalogue used to mean hours of copy-pasting from your Shopify admin into PowerPoint or InDesign. Those days are over.

With Photoship, you connect your Shopify store once, select the products you want, and get a shareable digital catalogue in minutes.

Step 1: Connect Your Shopify Store

Head to the Integrations page in Photoship and click "Connect Shopify". You'll authorize the connection through Shopify's standard OAuth flow. We only request read access to your products.

Once connected, Photoship pulls your product data including titles, descriptions, prices, variants, and images. This stays in sync automatically.

Step 2: Select Products for Your Catalogue

Not every product needs to be in every catalogue. Maybe you want one just for your summer collection, or one specifically for wholesale buyers.

Use the product picker to select what goes in. Filter by collection, product type, or pick individually. Drag to reorder if sequence matters.

Step 3: Choose a Template

Photoship offers multiple catalogue templates:

Grid layout for stores with many products
Feature layout for highlighting key items
Minimal layout for luxury or high-end products

Each template is mobile-responsive. Your customers get a good experience on desktop or phone.

Step 4: Generate and Share

Click generate. Photoship creates your catalogue with a unique shareable link. You can:

Add password protection for exclusive access
Download as PDF for offline sharing
Share directly to WhatsApp

When you update products in Shopify, the linked catalogue updates automatically. No more sending new versions every time a price changes.

Why This Beats the Old Way

Old way: Export to CSV, import into design software, manually arrange, export PDF, email to clients, repeat when anything changes.

Photoship way: Connect once, generate on demand, share links that always show current data.
