The feature lets you maintain catalogs with custom prices for different companies. For more information, see [Adobe's documentation](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-admin/b2b/shared-catalogs/catalog-shared). ## Enable Shared Catalogs 1. In your store's Admin, go to **Stores > Settings > Configuration > General > B2B Features**. 2. Set **Enable Company** to **Yes**. 3. Set **Enable Shared Catalog** to **Yes**. After you enable the feature, the Algolia extension adds the `catalog_permissions` attribute to product and category . Enabling Shared Catalogs increases your record size. The `price` attribute grows the most. If you have complex category permissions or many shared catalogs, check the impact on your product indices first. ## Customer groups Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source create a customer group for each shared catalog. This example creates two shared catalogs: one for small businesses and one for franchises. Screenshot of a 'Shared Catalogs' page with a table of three records and an 'Add Shared Catalog' button.

You'll also find two more customer groups listed on the **Customers > Customer Groups** page. Screenshot of a 'Customer Groups' grid showing six records with columns for ID, Group, Tax Class, and Action.

## Companies Adobe's B2B features include [companies](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-admin/b2b/companies/account-companies). Use companies to link shared catalogs to a group of users. To link a company's users to its shared catalog: 1. On the company page in your Admin, go to **Advanced Settings**. 2. Link a shared catalog to the company. Screenshot of a drop-down menu in the 'Customer Group' field showing options like 'Retailer,' 'Wholesale,' and 'B2B (Small Business).'

## Algolia indexing with Shared Catalogs enabled Each customer group generates a [replica](/doc/integration/magento-2/how-it-works/indexing#number-of-records-created) for product indices. The number of replicas per customer group depends on your sorting options. Screenshot of a list of replica indices with names like 'magento246ee_default_products_price_group_0_asc' and similar entries, each with a link icon.

For more information, see [Understanding the Algolia replica configuration](/doc/integration/magento-2/troubleshooting/back-end-issues#understand-the-algolia-replica-configuration). ### How Shared Catalogs handle pricing Customer group replicas sort shared catalog prices, just like other replicas. A shared catalog's custom price also applies to its customer group. The price applies to the group's replicas too. This follows the Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source [group pricing feature](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-admin/catalog/products/pricing/product-price-group). ### Product visibility with Shared Catalogs Algolia's extension adds the `catalog_permissions` attribute to product and category records. This attribute assigns a boolean value to each customer group. The value determines if the item is visible on the frontend. Manage these permissions in your Admin under **Catalog > Shared Catalogs**. Screenshot of a code snippet showing catalog permissions data with customer_group_0 to customer_group_7 keys and their boolean values.

If you add, edit, or delete a shared catalog, run a full reindex for products and categories. Products and categories outside a shared catalog use default catalog permissions. These permissions control visibility. Examples include the **NOT LOGGED IN** and **Default** customer groups. ### Default catalog permissions Products and categories outside a shared catalog use your **Category Permissions** settings. These settings control visibility. Screenshot of 'Category Permissions' table with 'Main Website' and 'NOT LOGGED IN' settings, showing 'Browsing Category,' 'Display Product Prices,' and 'Add to Cart' options.

After any permission updates, reindex all affected products and categories. To customize the `catalog_permissions` attribute, use **update attribute data** [backend events](/doc/integration/magento-2/customize/custom-back-end-events#update-attribute-data).
