Product appearance and content requirements

The appearance and quality of a product are as important to sales as its price. We should therefore try to ensure that products are not only in the right categories, but that they also have good quality photographs and that their description is sufficient for the customer. In the following article, you will learn more about the requirements for the correct appearance of a product on our website.

As our partner, you are responsible for the content of your entire portfolio. You are responsible for the authenticity of the information you publish about your product and you follow the governmental conditions and regulations for the sale of your product range.
For more information on the terms and conditions, please see General Terms and Conditions.
MALL reserves the right to withdraw your product from the website if it does not meet the required design quality or applicable legislation.

Checking the appearance and content of products before launch

Why is content quality important? 

Before the actual launch of the products (products in the state "Live"), we control the content. Subsequently, your products (or a proportionate part thereof) will be checked and circumcised.
Depending on the result, you may then be required to make corrections to ensure the best possible quality of our website and also to ensure higher search engine rankings. Google.

Two types of errors are defined in product control. Severe errors that block the display of products on the site and then errors that do not prevent the activation of the product.
Any comments you have received from MALL must be incorporated into the products.

That's why we've prepared this detailed article with information on our product appearance requirements and a list of government and internal regulations that we update regularly.


Content:


What the product should look like

To give you a better idea of the ideal product design, we have an example below.
This is variant product (shoe size, colour), which has all the necessary details filled in. There is a brand name, quality photos on a white background, size charts and the necessary parameters.

Important:
In case the product contains variants (as in this example size and colour), it is necessary to create a variant product. It is not possible to upload variants separately, the product list would become unclear. At the same time, you must add a variant identifier to the name (for example, name + size 38).

Overview of government and internal regulations for each country
