Catalog mode. A switch button allows the merchant to enable or disable the catalog mode. By default, it is disabled. Enabling this catalog mode disables the shopping cart on the front office and displays another field right below, labeled ‘Show prices’.
It also impacts the customer account on the front office, turning off the ‘Order history and details’, ‘Credit slips’, and ‘Merchandise returns’ pages.

Number of days for which the product is considered ‘new’. Currently, a product is considered new starting from its creation date but day 0 should be based on its activation date, cf. to do issue #18823. By default, it is set to 20 days.
Only numbers can be typed in the field, or added by using the arrows at the end of the field. It cannot be set to less than 0 either, otherwise the field goes back to the previous valid value and an error notification is displayed: The Number of days for which the product is considered ‘new’ field is invalid.
Max size of short description. Merchants can modify the size of their product’s short description (= summary), available in the ‘Basic Settings’ tab of the product page. By default, it is limited to 800 characters. Changing the number of limited characters will update the help text in the bottom right-hand corner of the summary field in the Catalog > Products page, e.g. 76 of 900 characters allowed.
Only numbers should be typed in the field. If the input contains specific characters, an error notification is displayed: The Max size of short description field is invalid.
Quantity discounts based on. It is a dropdown selector containing two options: the merchant can decide to base all his quantity discounts per-product or per-combination. By default, the ‘Products’ option is selected, allowing quantity discounts based on several products.
If ‘Products’ is selected, then the discount (specific price or catalog price rule) is applied when the cart contains X products no matter the combinations added to the cart.
If ‘Combinations’ is selected, then the discount (specific price or catalog price rule) is applied when the cart contains X products of the same combination.
For example, the merchant has set a discount for 4 purchased items:
With quantity discounts based per-product: the customer can buy 2 white and 2 black tee-shirts to benefit from the discount.
With quantity discounts based per-combination: the customer needs to buy 4 blue tee-shirts to benefit from the discount.

Enabling this option will automatically regenerate it every time the merchant modifies and saves a product name - and automatically update the friendly URL field in the ‘SEO’ tab of the product page.

When this option is enabled, unavailable products' combinations remain visible in the shop. A message on the FO product page and on product listings indicates the product is no longer available in the chosen option and invites customers to choose another combination: Other product variations available.
When this option is enabled as well as the ‘Allow ordering out-of-stock products’ option, customers are able to add unavailable combinations to their cart.
When this option is disabled and if the products have one single attribute, their combinations are no longer available and the attribute is hidden.
For example, the XS attribute and the related product are not displayed in the following case:
| Size | In stock |
|---|---|
| XS | No |
| S | Yes |
| M | Yes |
| L | Yes |
but the S, M, and L attributes remain displayed.
Also, when this option is disabled and if the value of an attribute has no product in all possible combinations, the combination of the products that are no longer available is hidden.
For example, the white attribute and the related product are not displayed in the following case:
| Size | Color | In Stock |
|---|---|---|
| S | White | No |
| S | Black | Yes |
| M | White | No |
| M | Black | Yes |
