# Does Tweakwise use Magento visibility settings?

In Magento 2, every product has a visibility setting that determines where it appears in the webshop: the catalog, search, both, or neither:

The four visibility options are:

1. **Not visible individually**: The product doesn't appear in catalog or search → *not sent to Tweakwise*.

2. **Catalog**: The product shows up in the catalog (category pages), not in search → *sent to Tweakwise*.

3. **Search**: The product shows up in search results, not in the catalog → *sent to Tweakwise*.

4. **Catalog, Search**: The product shows in both catalog and search → *sent to Tweakwise*.

**Grouped or configurable products:**

Sometimes a Configurable Product (like a shirt with size options) has visibility 4 (Catalog, Search). Its linked Simple Products (individual size options) might have visibility 1 (Not visible individually).

This setup ensures the individual options don't appear separately in the shop, only through the parent product.

**How Tweakwise uses visibility:**

The export extension always includes the Magento visibility setting in the feed and also applies the correct visibility values to the API requests.

To make this work, make sure you configure the visibility attribute [as request parameter](https://docs.tweakwise.com/docs/configure-attribute-as-request-parameter).

**Note**: because this visibility filter is always applied, you'll see it appear at the top of the *Insights - Filtering Usage* report.
