# Catalog

The Violet Catalog is where you can access collections of purchasable Products available on Violet through connected Merchants. The Violet [Catalog APIs](/api-reference/catalog/offers.md) provide developers with access to information such as product categories, product details, and individual SKUs.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Violet Catalog is composed of what we call “Offers” which are product offerings from specific merchants. When you onboard a merchant through [Violet Connect](/prism/violet-connect.md), we sync the product data from their e-commerce platform catalog and create a unified model that you can interact with to power your experiences.
{% endhint %}

You can learn more about Offers, SKUs, and Categories in the following pages and interact with the Violet Catalog through our [suite of APIs](/api-reference/catalog/offers.md).
