Catalog (marketplace curation)

What you curate at the platform level
- Featured products on the marketplace home.
- Featured stores on the marketplace home.
- Marketplace collections (e.g. “Made in Ghana”, “Black Friday”).
- Top-level categories that sellers’ products opt into.
- Facets (Pro Mode) — global filters like Brand, Material, Colour.
