# Product catalog

The **Product Catalog** feature allows merchants to add and edit product information, making it easily reusable while creating[ Pay By Links](/online-payments/pay-by-link.md) and initiating payments via [Virtual Terminal](/online-payments/virtual-terminal.md). This saves a lot of time and effort while creating the payment link or when merchants accept payments over the telephone or email, via Virtual Terminal.
