Best Practices

Fynd Platform has established a few guidelines for sellers to follow while creating products.

Item Code​

Item-code is a unique number that is assigned to a product. You will not be able to create another product having the same item code.

Guidelines

  • Item code should always be in upper-case (capital letters), for e.g. 'BLK-5001'.
  • Avoid any whitespace at the beginning of the item code (leading space), for e.g. ' BLK-5001'.
  • Avoid any whitespace at the end of the item code (trailing space), for e.g. 'BLK-5001 '.
  • Avoid consecutive space, for e.g. 'BLK 5001'.
  • Avoid using any of the following characters: # . /

SKU​

SKU stands for stock-keeping unit and it's an alphanumeric code that allows sellers to identify and track products in their inventory.

Guidelines

  • SKU code should always be in upper-case (capital letters), for e.g. 'POLO-M-362020'.
  • Similar to item code, avoid using any leading space, trailing space and consecutive space in your SKU.

Size​

An intuitive name to indicate the dimensions or capacity of a product. Example: L, Large, Small, XL, 128GB.

Guidelines

  • Size should always be in upper-case (capital letters), for e.g. 'XL'.
  • Avoid using any leading space, trailing space and consecutive space while mentioning the product size.

HSN Code​

Price​

The price of the product. You need to enter the Maximum Retail Price and Selling Price of the product.

Guideline

  • Keep the selling price less than or equal to MRP but never exceed the MRP.

URL of images​

If you want to upload or update the images of your products, you can use the sample excel and enter the image links. Check import products and partial update

Guideline

Import Products​
