Who owns your listing pages? Let’s find out!
We want you to be able to create all sorts of product listing pages inside the Depict portal (app.depict.ai), like brand pages, category pages, campaign pages and collections.
For the next step, you will need to provide to the CategoryPage
component what page it should show, in the form of an ID. And the type of that ID depends on the setup the merchant has chosen.
For each product listing page:
Option 1: Depict owns the listing
Depict is what decides that this listing page exists. Your page’s menu/navigation and routing gets the information from Depict’s Get Listings API. This means adding a new category or brand page in the Depict portal will automatically make it available in your menu/navigation and routing.
