The Self-Service Publishing Layer

Nue's approach to self-service products creates an additional layer on top of your existing product catalog:

1. Source of Truth: Your main product catalog in Nue remains the single source of truth

2. Selective Publishing: Only explicitly published products are available in self-service

3. Stability: Published products remain consistent until republished, even if the source product changes

This publishing mechanism provides several benefits for self-service implementations:

• Protects self-service customers from unexpected product changes

• Allows testing of product changes before making them available to self-service

• Provides a clean separation between direct sales and self-service offerings

Publishing Workflow for Self-Service

To make products available through the Self-Service API, follow this two-step process:

1. Enable a Price Book:

   1. Navigate to Price Builder → Price Books

   2. Select the price book and click 'Edit'

   3. Click 'Enable for Self Service'

2. Publish Individual Products:

   1. Navigate to Price Builder → Product Catalog

   2. Select the product to publish and click 'Edit'

   3. Click 'Publish' to make it available for self-service

Only products that have both an enabled price book and have been explicitly published will appear in API responses.
