Best practices
These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimise your product data for performance.
- Submit the size type whenever it's relevant. If you don't include a value for the size type
[size_type]attribute, we'll useregular(regular) as the default value. If that's not the right size type, then customers could be misled, which could affect your sales. Do not submit this attribute for non-clothing products, as these will be rejected. - To represent products with two size types (for example, 'big and tall' or 'petite maternity') submit two matching values.
- Submit the size system attribute. Also submit the size system
[size_system]attribute to explain which country's sizing system your product uses. - Submit the size attribute. Along with the size type, make sure that you submit the specific size of your product using the size
[size]attribute. - Submit the gender attribute. To help show your ad for the right search results, also submit the gender
[gender]attribute.
