Seller SKU Content Quality

Seller SKU Content Quality

noon distinguishes between two SKU types: Noon SKUs (NSKU) and Seller SKUs. Seller SKUs provide sellers full responsibility over the content, with only the seller who creates a SKU authorized to sell it. Unlike Noon SKUs, the content for Seller SKUs is not modified by Noon, although it may be rejected if it doesn’t meet quality standards.

Quality Requirements for Seller SKUs

Quality refers to both how much and how good the content you provide for a specific SKU is. It’s good to provide as much information to the customers as possible, but you also have to make sure that the information is 
  • Written properly (no spelling or grammatical errors), 
  • Formatting it correctly (no unnecessary repetition), 
  • The information is consistent with each other (if you’re selling a pink T-Shirt, you cannot provide a picture of a black one), 
  • Correct information is provided in the first place (you cannot be selling a pot under the brand Samsung). 

In cases where you’re not able to provide high quality content for all the attributes, we advise you to focus only on the mandatory ones and ensure that those stand out. 

Key Quality Components of Seller SKUs

You can think of the quality as 4 distinct groups. All three together determine the quality of your Seller SKU. 
  1. Core Seller SKU information - category & brand. Without this information, you cannot create a Seller SKU. If, during the content quality check process, we realize that these are incorrectly chosen, we will reject the SKU and you will have to create a new one. 
  2. Mandatory Attributes - this is the mandatory part of the content that you absolutely fill out to give customers the overview of the product. This is usually your title and image, but depending on the category there might be more attributes that fall under the mandatory category. 
  3. Images - At least one good quality image is needed for the SKU to go live, however, the more images that you provide, the better the customer experience that you provide to your buyers. Make sure that all the images are adhering to the image requirements when uploading them. 
  4. Optional Attributes - these are the ones that are good to have to increase the conversion of your SKU, but are not needed for the SKU to go live. Having good quality information in the optional attributes section (this also includes the description and feature bullets) will improve the customer experience at noon and will increase your conversion. 

How does noon check the quality of Seller SKU?

After submitting a Seller SKU (either individually or in bulk), noon’s team reviews it to ensure the information is correct and meets quality standards. If requirements aren’t met, the SKU will be marked as Rejected with reasons listed on the SKU’s content page. Each reason provides guidance to resolve the issue, and a “Learn more” link offers additional examples.

What does the content check status on Seller Lab tell me? 

You can see the content check status in the content section of the SKU when you open an individual Seller SKU on Seller Lab.
The content check status tells you how much of the content you have provided for the individual Seller SKU. Clicking on the arrow on the left side of the tab will expand it to show the detailed information.

Content Status:

What does the content status tell me?

Content status communicates where in the Seller SKU process, your SKU is. We show the content status for English and Arabic content separately

There are 4 possible statuses for each for the languages: 

  • Content Pending - you need to provide more content for your SKU to be eligible for approval. Filter by mandatory attributes. 
  • QC Pending - your SKU has been submitted to our team to be checked for quality. We'll get back to you within 2-3 business days. 
  • Approved - your Seller SKU content has been approved. 
  • Rejected - your seller SKU has been rejected. You can see the rejection reason(s) in the window under the status. 

Depending on the statuses of your English and Arabic content, the overall content status will change. 

(If you can't see the above distinction between English and Arabic content on Seller Lab yet, you will in a couple of days.)

Completeness

All attributes - overall, how much of the content you’ve filled out.  

Mandatory attributes - this has to be 100% for your Seller SKU to be submitted to our team to check it. 

Optional Attributes - how many of the optional attributes you’ve filled out. Try to get this % up as much as possible as that will improve the overall quality of your Seller SKU. 

Image Status

Simply communicates whether you have uploaded the image(s) with a checkmark or not with a cross. It does not provide information on whether the image has been accepted or not. 

Brand Status

Communicates whether your brand is approved or not. This is especially important for when you're listing your products with a new brand. 

How long does it take for my content to be approved/rejected?

We strive to reach the decision on your Seller SKU within 2 business days from the time of the submission. If we haven’t approved or rejected your content in that time, feel free to contact our seller support for more information. You can click ‘Need Support? Reach Out To Us’ on the detail page of your SKU.

Understanding SKU Rejection Reasons 

Rejection reasons are an indicator of what you should correct in your Seller SKU content to make it go live. 
Rejection reasons are formatted according to the following template Attribute - issue. The ‘attribute’ part should give you an idea where the issue occurred and help you narrow down the choices. 

Following are the options for the attribute: 

  • Categorization
  • Brand 
  • Title 
  • Image 
  • Feature Bullets/Description

The ‘issue’ part gives you a broad overview of what the problem with that specific attribute is.

Two types of rejections exist:

  • Fatal Content Rejections - Must be corrected for the SKU to go live.
  • Suggestions for Content Improvement - Recommendations to enhance quality without preventing approval. 

The following SKU has both a fatal content rejection and a suggestion for content improvement. You can distinguish the two based on the description under the content status on your content page on Seller Lab. 

 

My Seller SKU got rejected due to content issues, what now? 

Navigate to the content tab of your Seller SKU. Under status (which should show up as ‘Rejected’) you should be able to see one or more rejection reasons. 


Clicking on ‘recommendation' below the rejection reasons which takes you to the content page to fix the issue. 

Once you make the necessary changes, click on ‘Save Changes’ or resubmit the updated Seller SKU information. 

 

 

 

That’s it!
