Your product spreadsheet deserves a catalog buyers can browse

You track products, services, or menu items in Google Sheets. Publish them as a searchable catalog with images and details per row. No Shopify project. No copy-pasting into Canva every time a price changes.

Each row becomes a product card: image, name, price, description, and buy link. Visitors search the grid. One Sheet stays your source of truth.

Why "just send the spreadsheet" hurts sales

Picture the buyer on their phone. They open your Sheet. Columns shrink. They pinch-zoom. They leave. Meanwhile you are maintaining the same data in three places:

  • The master Sheet (truth)
  • A PDF price list (outdated by Thursday)
  • A Notion or Canva page (nobody on the team wants to update it)

One price change? Three documents. One "do you still carry this?" question on Zoom? You are searching the Sheet while they watch. A catalog site gives buyers the browse experience they expect. The Sheet stays where you already manage inventory.

Price lists, service menus, rental inventory

Wholesale price list

Retailers want to browse, not get edit access to your master Sheet.

SKU, Name, Image URL, Wholesale price, MOQ, Category

A clean catalog URL. Search by SKU or product name.

Agency service menu

Services live in a Sheet the sales team cannot present on a call.

Service, Description, Starting price, Delivery time, Booking link

One shareable catalog link for prospects.

Rental inventory

80 items. Clients ask "what do you have in size X?"

Item, Photo, Size, Daily rate, Availability note

Search surfaces the item. Cards show photos.

Digital product portfolio

Buy links scattered across tabs and Gumroad pages.

Product, Thumbnail, Description, Buy link, Tag

One branded catalog page with every offer.

Maker market or pop-up fair

Vendors submit rows to a master Sheet. You need a public view by Friday.

Vendor, Product, Image, Price, Booth number

Publish the day before doors open.

For browse-first catalogs, not full checkout flows

  • Small brands listing products without a full ecommerce stack
  • Agencies and freelancers packaging services
  • Rental, resale, and inventory businesses
  • Markets, fairs, and pop-up organizers
  • Anyone who emails a "master list" Sheet to buyers more than once

A grid buyers actually want to scroll

A responsive grid of product cards: image on top, item name as the headline, details as labeled lines below. Search filters the grid instantly. Cards read well on phone and desktop.

From Sheet to catalog in three steps

  1. Paste your Sheet URL at bettersheets.co/sites
  2. Choose Catalog as your template
  3. Preview free then publish to yoursite.bettersheets.co

Catalog Sheet structure that works on day one

Recommended columns

Name, Image URL, Price, Description, Category, Buy link, SKU

Tips

  • Put the product or service name in the first column (it becomes the card title)
  • Image URL column: link directly to JPG/PNG, or enable Unsplash for missing images
  • Price column: plain text is fine ($29, From $500, POA)
  • Buy link column: URLs become clickable "buy" destinations
  • Use column start to hide internal cost or supplier columns

Catalog vs the other templates

  • Directory: rows are people, partners, or resources (not products)
  • Simple: you do not need images or cards, just a table
  • Dashboard: you are publishing metrics and status rows, not a product grid
  • Gallery: you want a photo-first masonry wall, not product labels and prices

FAQ

Is this a full online store with cart and checkout?
No. Catalog is for browse-first listings: products, services, menus, and inventory your buyers can search and read. If you need Stripe checkout and carts, tools like SpreadSimple are built for that. Compare SpreadSimple vs Better Sheets Sites.
Can buyers search my catalog?
Yes. Enable search in site settings.
Do I need product photos?
Helpful but not required. Add image URLs per row, or turn on Unsplash fill for rows without images.
Will prices update automatically?
Yes. The site reads your Sheet on each visit. Edit a cell, refresh the page, see the new price.
Is preview free?
Yes. Publishing a live subdomain requires Better Sheets membership.
How is this different from Sheet2Site?
Sheet2Site is a strong fit for storefront extensions and packaged payments. Better Sheets Sites bundles catalog publishing with Better Sheets Academy and spreadsheet tools at membership pricing. See the full comparison.

Good fit

  • You already maintain products or services in a Sheet
  • Buyers need to browse and search, not place orders in-app
  • You want one URL that stays current when prices change

Not a fit

  • You need shopping cart, tax, and checkout flows
  • You need customer accounts and order history
  • Your rows are team members, not items (use Directory)

Your catalog rows are already written
