# Showcase product catalog in message template

You can present your product catalog to your customers entirely within WhatsApp. 

Catalog templates display a product thumbnail header image of your choice and custom body text. The text header, sub-header, and button text are non-editable.

When a customer taps the *View catalog* button in a catalog template message, your product catalog appears within WhatsApp.
