How can I setup Product Catalog to my Drupal Commerce Web site ?
Drupal Ubercart is very easy to setup Product Catalog, but Commerce is not so straight forward.
I followed this one:
https://drupalcommerce.org/user-guide/setting-product-catalog
But it could not show my products in catalog.
Any web site you suggest ?

Hi minyinleung, The guide
Hi minyinleung,
The guide that you mentioned is enough for building a simple product catalog for default products in fresh installed Commerce Kickstart distribution.
For example: http://skincorner.com.hk/product-category/face-care
Meanwhile, you are welcome to join the next DrupalCamp event on 9th August and we could have some sharing during break time.

Thanks. But I am still very
Thanks.
But I am still very confused about the relationship between Product display and Products.
If I have 2 groups of products :
Group A : 10 products, Group B : 5 products
How many Product displays do I need to create ?
(1) 1 Product display for all these 15 products ?
(2) 2 Product displays : Display A for the 10 products and Display B for the 5 products ?
(3) 15 Product displays for these 15 products ?
(4) 17 Product displays : 1 for Group A Catalog, 10 for Group A products, 1 for Group B Catalog, 5 for Group B products ?
Which one is correct ?
@Minyinleung I feel for you,
@Minyinleung I feel for you, had the same confusion as well.
(Correct me if I'm wrong) a Product is not a node. It means a Product entity does not have the structure and additional information (theme, classes, path alias, etc) for the node_load() process to present as a node. Therefore in order to display the product like a node you will have to attach a product to another node-like entity, which is the role of the Product Display.
In short:
Product Display (Node entity) -> Product (entity)
Order (Node entity) -> line item (entity) -> Product (entity)
Hope this helps
