2. Set up Commerce Manager or work with a partner.

Before you set up a shop, you'll need to create a single catalogue holding information about all of the items you want to advertise or sell with Commerce Manager. To add products to your catalogue, you can connect your catalogue to an e-commerce platform, add them manually or use the commerce platform APIs to build a direct integration.
