What is the Private Catalogs Module?
Private Catalogs B2B is a great B2B solution for those merchants who need to create private catalogs with their own pricing and products for different customer groups/companies. Catalogs will feature certain categories, products, and pricing, which will be visible only for selected customer groups/companies. The module relies on the Catalog Group Catalog Permission module, in that the visibility of categories for a customer group is defined by category permissions for this customer group. Adding a product or a category to a private catalog enables appropriate category permissions for the customer groups linked to this private catalog.
How Do I Configure the Module?
First, you need to configure the general settings of Customer Group Catalog Permissions. To get access to the settings proceeds to Stores > Settings > Configuration > Aheadworks Ecommerce > Customer Group Catalog Permissions.
How do I use the Private Catalogs module?
Go to the admin panel, select the Private Catalog menu Catalog>B2B Private Catalog by Aheadworks>Private Catalog. Click on Create a Private Catalog.
Enter the name of the catalog, choose the type (Custom or Public), and click on Save and Continue Edit.

How Do I Assign a Catalog to Company/User?
