Shops are meant to be e-commerce solution and cannot be saved as a PDF/catalogue.

 

Can I customize the URL of my shop?

What happens when I share my url on social media platforms?

When you share your URL on social media platforms, the preview will display your company’s avatar or logo. This image is automatically pulled from your commonsku profile, allowing for easy customization. If you haven't uploaded an avatar or logo, the Shop preview will use the default commonsku logo instead.
