Thrive’s New Catalog and inventory tools are designed to give you flexibility, speed, and accuracy, whether you’re managing a handful of products or a complex, multi-location operation.
It's important to know how these new core pages work together, when to use each one, and best practices to help you move confidently through the updated catalog experience
Catalog Page Breakdown
Page/View | Best For |
Products | Managing product-level details shared across all locations |

Bins | Managing inventory at the location level |
Bin Details | Deep-diving into one item at one location |
Understanding which page to use for which task is the key to working efficiently.
Products View: Product-Level Control
The Products View of your catalog is your starting point for managing information that is consistent everywhere you sell.
Use this page when you need to:
Manage categories, tax rates, shipping requirements, and sales channel availability
Make products Active or Inactive
Perform bulk updates that apply to all locations
Best practices
Use bulk actions to reduce repetitive edits
Customize your view to:
Finding missing product information (Images, Dimensions, Categories, etc.)
Filter items by tax rate, or use the Tax Column to view tax settings at a glance
Isolate bundles, inactive/active products, products with modifiers, and more for review
Variants View: Variant-Level Visibility
The Variants View of your catalog shows every size, color, or style variation across your catalog in one list. This page is ideal for auditing variant-level details and maintaining consistency.
Use this page when you need to:
Review current variant details across locations
Spot missing variant details such as SKUs, vendor data, or attributes
Bulk assign vendors
Delete one or more variants with the Bulk Delete Tool
Best practices
Customize the view to:
Find missing variant details (SKU, Barcode, Vendor, etc)
Review item availability across each location and sales channel
Isolate bundles, items with modifiers, images, shippable items, and more
Perform audits here before syncing to sales channels.
Use bulk deletion cautiously, as deletions are permanent.
Product Details Page: One Product, Fully Organized
The Product Details Page replaces the old Edit Product page and displays all details for a single product in one structured view.
From here, you can manage:
Product basics (name, description, images)
Variants and attributes
Inventory defaults and reorder settings
Pricing, taxes, and shipping
Integration-specific fields (Shopify, WooCommerce, POS)
Modifiers and Internal Notes
Product availability across locations and integrations
Best practices
Use the left-hand navigation to move quickly between sections.
Toggle “Use Defaults” off only when location-specific pricing or inventory is required.
Bins View: Location-Specific Inventory Management
The Bins View of your catalog is where inventory management becomes highly precise. Each row represents one variant at one location, giving you the clearest possible view of stock levels and movement. This is the view most like the old Products Page.
Use this page when you need to:
Update inventory quantities by location
Adjust location-specific cost, price, reorder points, or reorder targets
Prepare for or complete stocktakes
Identify low or out-of-stock items
Create Purchase Orders or Internal Transfers
Quickly view Inventory or Lot History
Best practices
Use filters to create working views (low stock, days remaining, vendor-specific).
Perform bulk edits here whenever possible, instead of opening individual products.
Bin Details Page: One Item, One Location
The Bin Details Page is your most detailed troubleshooting and analysis view.
Use this page when you need to:
Investigate inventory and lot cost discrepancies
Review bundle and assembly associations
Receive inventory or make manual adjustments
View in-transit items
Edit location-specific pricing, cost, and reorder settings
See neighboring bin stock at other locations
Best practices
Use this page for investigation and confirmation, not bulk work.
Check Inventory History to understand why quantities changed.
Use Neighboring Bins to rebalance inventory between locations.
Getting Started

Customize Your Views
Select, adjust, order, and sort columns. Use filters to focus on the data you need most. Your customized view will be saved,
Make Updates Efficiently
Bulk actions let you update multiple items at once. They reduce repetitive work and are ideal for large catalogs.
Think in Levels
Changes apply at different levels:
Product – affects all variants
Variant – affects only the selected variant
Bins (Location)– affects specific locations
Always consider where the change should apply when navigating through your pages.
