Store groups and markets
What store groups and markets are, and how they form a sales surface in Enad.
Products in Enad are not published to “the shop” as a single place. They are published to surfaces. A surface is one store group plus one market.
That is why a product can be live in B2B Sweden and off in B2C Finland at the same time. Pricing, availability, and product and market status are all scoped to that pair.
Store group
The sales channel. Typically B2B, B2C, or a similar store type, plus the markets that belong to it.
Market
The locale. A name, countries, language, and currency that a store group can sell into.
A simple way to remember it:
The store group is who the catalog is for. The market is where it is sold.
Store groups
A store group groups pricing and availability across one or more markets. Typical examples are a B2B channel and a B2C channel, each with its own set of markets.
When a store group is created it has:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name and slug | The label in Enad, and a stable identifier for the API |
| Store type | One of b2c, b2b, d2c, or d2b |
| Country of sale | Primary country, as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code such as SE or FI |
| Markets | Optional list of market slugs to attach |
| Description | Optional note |
See Create a store group in the Management API.
Markets
A market is a selling locale: which countries it covers, which language it uses, and which currency prices are in. The same market can typically be attached to more than one store group.
When a market is created it has:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name and slug | The label in Enad, and a stable identifier for the API |
| Country codes | One or more ISO country codes, for example SE |
| Locale | Language and region, for example sv-SE |
| Currency code | ISO currency, for example SEK |
| Active | Whether the market itself is on |
A market being active is not the same as a product’s market status on that surface. Market status is set on the product (or variant). See Product and market status.
See Create a new market in the Management API.
