You must include a contact email address in the shipping description

Ensure yout customer telephone number works and has active voicemail

Ensure you have an email address for customer service to aid in easy customer communication

Ensure this email is correct as your order notifcations will be sent here

It's good practice to add some images in to keep your About Us page lively.

Avoid long sections of text, make sure you break up the paragraphs

Ensure you include your returns address

Include your contact details for returns enquiries

IMPORTANT! - You will need to populate Every category with products so don't create more than you realistically need

Ensure your browse structure makes sense (E.g. Women/Men in Perfume)

You will need the Unique Identifier to attribute your products on your CSV, so ensure it is easily memorable.

Our search is based on plaintext so it's good practice to include lots of plain text details and product keywords in a readable format (Warning: Spamming of key words is not allowed)

Inlude a detailed description which covers all aspects of your products

Image quality is very important. Although the minimum requirement for images is 200x200 pixels, we recommend a mimimum of 600 x 600 and the maximum is 1000 x 1000

Although we don't ban lifestyle images, we recommend for best practice that you include just a product image against a plain background

Ensure there are no watermarks on the image

Try to avoid including profane or mature content/language in your images

IMPORTANT! - make sure you have NO products with missing images otherwise the store will be rejected.
