Product Data Standards
Updated March 2026
Product data quality directly affects your sales performance. Accurate, well-structured data leads to better marketplace listings, higher search visibility, stronger conversion rates, and fewer returns. Investing time in data quality pays off significantly.
Required Fields
- Product title — clear, descriptive name that identifies the product
- EAN barcode — valid, unique identifier (13-digit European Article Number)
- Product weight — accurate weight for shipping calculation and customs documentation
- Price — current, correct base price in your store currency
- Product images — high resolution, professional quality
- Stock quantity — must reflect actual available inventory
Image Guidelines
Product images are the first thing customers see. High-quality images build trust and reduce returns caused by mismatched expectations.
- Use high resolution images — minimum 1000 × 1000px recommended
- White or clean background preferred for the main image
- Product should be clearly visible, centered, and well-lit
- Avoid heavy text overlays, watermarks, or promotional badges
- Show the actual product — don’t include accessories that aren’t part of the order
- Use consistent image quality across your entire catalog
Title Guidelines
A good product title clearly identifies the item and helps customers find it through search. Avoid keyword stuffing or excessive marketing language — marketplaces may reject listings with poor titles.

- Avoid inaccurate claims or exaggerated marketing language
- Keep descriptions factual and helpful
