Recommendations

We have put together some recommendations for creating new products.

Name (required):

  • Keep it simple - short and sweet to make it easy to search.

  • Differentiation - make sure if you are naming multiple similar products that you add differentiation in the name so you know exactly which SKU to choose.

  • Consumer-Facing - keep in mind, shoppers will see this title displayed in the app.

SKU (required):

  • Unique SKU - make sure you do not duplicate SKUs for different products.

  • Simple - make it easy for you to search and find the product you need.

Brand (required):

  • Unique Brand - in order to not mix your new SKUs with existing products.

Description (highly recommended):

  • Provide Value - let shoppers know why they should purchase the product SKU you have created.

  • Conditions & Terms - list what is included in the product you are offering. For example, this would include: duration of protection plan, what your protection plan covers, what your delivery includes, etc.

  • Other Important Details - disclose any other important information about the new product you have created.

Weight:

  • Weight Restrictions - add if you have specific weight restrictions or requirements for your delivery and shipping SKUs.

Main Image (highly recommended):

  • Add a main image and any additional images to the product you are creating.

  • Good Experience - having an image is important for creating a positive shopping experience when using the app. It helps the product SKU to appear professional.
