# Catalogs *Product catalogs* are data feeds that hold a list of your products and their metadata, like an image of them or their current price. Product catalogs are commonly created via an e-commerce or shopping cart solution, which are then imported to impact.com. While you cannot create or delete a catalog directly via the API, you can use it to automate several key management tasks. The API enables you to programmatically update a catalog's settings, upload a file to populate it, and manage the individual items within it. Product catalogs are used to show your partners what products you sell and supply them with information on those products. For all other management functions, including creating and deleting catalogs, see the [Product Catalogs](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/engage/ads/productcatalogs/manage-ads-product-catalog-flow.ihtml) screen in the impact.com web app. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
