# catalog

> Reference for the catalog tool of Geenius MVP: products, variants, stock, collections, VAT and CSV, with every action.

Source: https://mvp.geenius.io/docs/reference/catalog/

Products and services of one workspace. A shop sells its own products once it has any, otherwise the workspace's shared ones. Amounts are in the currency's major unit, two decimals at most; slugs and SKUs are unique.

Call it as `geenius_mvp(tool: "catalog", action: "<action>", args: {...})` through Geenius OS.

> [!TIP]
> Ask for the exact arguments of any action with `action: "help", of: "add_to_invoice"`. The server answers from its own definitions, so that answer is always current.

> [!NOTE]
> Pictures and downloads take https addresses. Archive is undoable; deleting for good is for the maker or an owner or admin.
