Catalog Management
Learn about the two ways to manage your Stash Webshop catalog: Static Managed Catalog for stable, Studio-managed catalogs, and Real-time Catalog for real-time synchronization with your game server.
Stash Webshop supports two ways to manage your catalog:
- Static (Managed Catalog): Set up in Stash Studio or through the API. Use this option for stable catalogs.
- Real-time Catalog: Sync the catalog in real time from your game server.
Start with a managed catalog to launch your webshop with less setup. As your needs grow, you can move to a Real-time Catalog for full control and real-time synchronization with your in-game store.
Managed catalog
With a managed catalog, offers are stored in Stash and managed through Stash Studio or API calls.
When a player opens the webshop, the catalog loads directly from Stash's backend. You are responsible for keeping your catalog data up to date so Stash can update the webshop catalog.
Real-time Catalog
The Real-time Catalog fetches offers in real time from your game server each time the webshop loads.
Stash does not store catalog data. Instead, it calls your API endpoint to get the latest offers and segmentation. This approach gives you full control through your existing backend tools.
