Ecommerce Product Catalogue Setup
Turn product information into a usable shop structure
A clear catalogue helps shoppers find and compare what you sell. Product loading becomes difficult when images, names, variants and prices arrive in inconsistent formats. We help Johannesburg retailers prepare a structured catalogue before importing or manually adding products.
What to include in the scope
We agree categories, product attributes, naming conventions and the required fields for each item. Variants such as size or colour need a consistent relationship to stock and price. Images should be matched to the correct products, with suitable dimensions and permission to use them. A small sample is reviewed before loading the full catalogue.
Practical decisions before starting
The work should define product count, variant count, data-cleaning responsibilities and the process for checking imports. Missing facts are flagged rather than invented. Your team approves prices and availability before publication. After launch, the same structure helps keep additions and updates consistent, reducing the risk of duplicate or confusing listings.
Common questions
Can you work from a spreadsheet?
Yes. The required columns and a sample should be agreed before the full data file is prepared.
Does catalogue setup include photography?
New photography or image editing needs to be specified separately from product-data loading.
