Product Listing Criteria
Before you add your products, make sure to follow the guideline for the product listing criteria! A well-coordinated product listing will make customers much more likely to feel confident in purchasing your products.
These are product listings:
A Product Listing is made out of:
Images 2) Title 3) Description 4) Details
Criteria for images:
Images are the #1 most important thing to increase sales.
Photo requirement:
Recommended: (800 x 1,000) px
Size of the photo must be smaller than 1 MB.
Here’s a trusted link to compress images: https://shortpixel.com/online-image-compression
Photography:
The photo needs to be high quality resolution to attract the customers. (Not blurry, low quality, pixelated photos)
Make sure you have great lighting. (Natural light is great!)
Take multiple pictures of the product. Close ups, far away, different angles (sides, front, back) show details, show someone wearing/ using it. Have a minimum of 5 photos in your product listing. (People love this!)
Show the scale of the item by having another piece next to it as a reference.
Use props to make the photo more attractive and consistent with your branding.
Take photos without flash! Shadows, reflections, and greyness will make your photos less attractive.
Choose an attractive photo for the thumbnail that shows the full product.
Editing:
You can enhance the photos by editing it from your phone, we suggest just adjusting the lighting and saturation. Make sure that the product colors in the photo are still the same as they are physically.
Do not add designs or shapes to the photo. Keep it natural!
Do not add your shop’s name to the picture. It might make it look “unprofessional”.
Criteria for title:
The title should be descriptive, but keep it short. (Some examples are: Children’s Space Wall Stickers, Colorful Beach Bag, Harry Potter Themed Stickers)
Be very specific with keywords. (keywords are simply the words / phrases that people type into search engines to find what they’re looking for. For example, if you were looking to buy a new abaya, you might type something like “floral summer abaya” in the search bar. Even though that phrase consists of more than one word, it’s still a keyword.)
Make sure that the spelling and grammar are correct.
Avoid ALLCAPS and symbols in your title or description.
Criteria for description:
Be very specific. Add every detail about the product that you can think of.
Use attractive words to encourage your customers to buy more.

If your product has benefits, add them.
If your product has ingredients, write them down so people with allergies can take a look at them.
Add the material the product was made of.
Make sure to add the prices accurately.
Know your audience. If your customers are mothers, you can use words such as “safe for children”…
Make it easy to read, so add bullet points or highlight important info.
Have a size guide that shows the measurements in cm/in of each size.
Criteria for details:
Make sure to add a text box/drop-downs if you provide custom products, so that the customers can tell you what color/name they want. (if you embroider, print, or draw on the product..)
Make use of variants for sizes & colours
If users are asked to enter a name to personalise a product, make it clear how many characters they should use.
Criteria for category:
Add your product to its correct category and subcategory.
If your product belongs to more than one category, add it there as well.
Criteria for tags:
Don’t skip the tags section and add as many tags as you can think of that are relevant to your product. This helps your product be found by customers searching for it on the internet.
