Best practices

These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.

• Submit the size system for all apparel products. By submitting your product’s size system, you can help ensure that the size is shown correctly.
• Submit the correct system for each product. If you have different products each with different size systems, make sure to submit the correct size system. If you don’t submit a size system, we’ll use the standard system for your target country, which might not be right for your product.
• Submit the size attribute. Along with the size system, make sure to submit the specific size of your product using the size attribute.
• Submit the size_type attribute if relevant. If your product also has a size type, submit the size_type attribute.
• Submit the gender attribute if relevant. To help show your product in the right search results, also submit the gender attribute.
