Inventory System: Catalog Setup

The Catalog is the foundation of your entire item system.
Every cosmetic, badge, material, or event item must exist in the catalog before a player can own it.

What the Catalog Does

• Defines every item in your game

• Stores item metadata

• Controls pricing (optional)

• Organizes cosmetics by type

• Enables item grants

• Supports multiple catalogs (Cosmetics, Events, Staff, etc.)

Creating a Catalog

Inside PlayFab:

1. Go to Economy

2. Select Catalogs

3. Create a new catalog (example: Cosmetics)

4. Add items using unique IDs

5. Add metadata (tags, custom data, etc.)

6. Save the catalog

Catalog Item Fields

Each item should include:

• Item ID (example: HAT_RED)

• Display Name

• Description

• Item Class (Hat, Badge, Material, etc.)

• Tags (Seasonal, Event, Rare, Staff)

• Custom Data (color, rarity, unlock type)

• Price (optional)

Catalog Organization Tips

• Use prefixes (HAT_, BADGE_, MAT_)

• Keep IDs short and readable

• Use tags to group items

• Use separate catalogs for:

• Cosmetics

• Events

• Staff items
