Hi,

You could use IContentRepository, like with any other type of content. Something like this (untested):

var repository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var referenceConverter = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ReferenceConverter>();
var root = referenceConverter.GetRootLink();

var catalog = repository.GetDefault<CatalogContent>(root);

catalog.Name = "My catalog";

repository.Save(catalog, SaveAction.Publish, AccessLevel.NoAccess);

Hi Johan

I had presumed that would be the case as I am using the above to create category nodes and product entries. However when I run th above code I get the following error 

No implementation of ICatalogContentCommitter available to handle content of type CatalogContentProxy

Hmmm I don't know about the latest version of Commerce, but you had to create catalogs within Commerce Manager before. I thought that was fixed in later versions though.

Hi All

Found a solution. Aparently this was not supported in version 7.5. In Episerver Version 7.9 and above you can do it using the following. Please note the default properties below are mandatory -

var repository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
            var referenceConverter = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog.ReferenceConverter>();
            var root = referenceConverter.GetRootLink();
            var catalog = repository.GetDefault<CatalogContent>(root);
            catalog.Name = "My catalog2";
            catalog.DefaultCurrency = "USD";
            catalog.DefaultLanguage = "en";
            catalog.WeightBase = "Pounds";
            repository.Save(catalog, SaveAction.Publish, EPiServer.Security.AccessLevel.NoAccess);

Kind Regards
