Hello Serge, in OFBiz there is not a direct association between a ProductStore and products, instead ProdCatalog, ProdCatalogCategory, ProductStoreCatalog, ProductCategory and ProductCategoryMember entities are used to achieve this goal.
You can see the ProdCatalog as a collector of categories: the one that is physically associated with a product store is the ProdCatalog through the entity ProductStoreCatalog. A product catalog is composed by a hierarchy of categories where the first (root category) always has to be of type "Browse Root" (PCCT_BROWSE_ROOT). This is managed by the entity ProdCatalogCategory. Under the "Browse Root" category you can then build your own custom hierarchy of product categories and associate the product to each one of it; ProductCategory is the entity used to define a category and a product is associated to a specific category through the entity ProductCategoryMember. *In short*: ProductStore/Catalog assoc : ProductStore -> ProdCatalog -> ProductCatalogCategory (Browse Root) Browse Root Category/Product categories: - ProductCategory (Browse Root) -- productCategory_1 -> Products (through ProductCategoryMember); -- productCategory_2 -> Products; ---productSubCategory_2_1 -> Products; ---productSubCategory_2_2 -> Products; -- productCategory_3 -> Products; In the online backend demo of OFBiz you can start following this structure from the Catalog Manager -> Stores, pick up a store and then open the tab "CATALOGS". You will find different examples of stores and catalogs with different categories associated, that can give you a good starting point on the store/catalog/category/product OOTB mechanism. I hope I have been helpful.
