Single SKU creation

Single SKU creation

The cataloging process is designed to help you quickly create your products at noon and have them go live within 3 business days. It gives sellers control and ownership over the content of their products and allows for flexibility in the way SKUs are created. The cataloging process at noon distinguishes between a Noon SKU and a Seller SKU.  

SKU Creation Steps

    1. Navigate to Partner Catalog:

      • Go to Catalog > Partner Catalog.

      • Select Add New > Create Single Product.

    2. Select the Category:

      • Choose the most accurate category for your product. If unsure, search for a similar product on Noon.com and paste its URL in the search bar, which will autofill the category.

      • Start by selecting the category on Partner Catalog. Check out this article for more information on the categorization of SKUs. 

    3. Add the Brand:

    • You can list your product under an existing brand by selecting it from the dropdown 

    • menu.

    • If the brand is not available in the dropdown, you’ll need to create a new brand (subject to approval).

    • If you're listing an unbranded product, select ‘Generic’ as the brand option.

If you’re trying to list a product from a noon controlled brand, you will 
see a noon catalog pop-up as the next step. Refer to this article on how 
to list noon controlled brand products in your catalog.

  1. Generate a Partner SKU:
    • Click Generate Partner SKU and then Submit
    • it. Partner SKUs are unique to your catalog.
Partner SKU is unique to your catalog and won’t appear for any other sellers.

Notes
Once added, the fundamental attributes of a product can be edited. If the seller has made a mistake while adding their product content,
they' can make correction in content & images without deleting it.     
Attention - Please do not make any changes in live products.

Creating Product content

A well-written product description boosts your listing's credibility and helps customers make informed decisions. Once you complete the content page, our team will review it and either approve or request changes if it doesn't meet Noon’s standards. For more details on content quality, refer to our content creation guidelines.

Minimum Requirements for a Seller SKU to Go Live:

  • Title: Follow best practices to create an effective product titles.
  • Images: Upload clear, high-quality images that showcase your product. Learn more about the image requirements here 
These two mandatory attributes, Title and Images, are essential for your SKU to be approved and go live.
Notes

-The required attributes may vary depending on the product’s category. Use the filter to display only the mandatory fields, and make sure to avoid common mistakes when filling out these attributes. Learn more here.
-The mandatory attributes (including the title) must be provided both in English and Arabic. If you’re choosing values from drop down menus they’ll be automatically translated, however, for the free text fields (either optional or mandatory) such Title, Description, you will have to provide the translation yourself. 

Next Steps:

Once you’ve created the PSKU, you’ll need to update both the Content and Offer of the product.

  1. Go to the Product Details page and click on Offer and Content.
  2. Update the fields for Pricing, Stock Information, Barcode Information, and Warranty.
  3. Click on Add Image, select and upload your product images, then click Submit.
  4. Add your Product Title and click Save Changes.
Notes

All the pictures should match the product description in order for the item to go live.

Once you upload the images you can crop and resize them. Ensure that your first image has a white background and that the product is fully visible and covers as much of the area as possible. 

For the SKU to go live, provided that your content is approved by our team, you need to reach a 100% in the mandatory attributes section and need a checkmark next to the image status. 

Once your mandatory attributes are at 100% and your images are uploaded, your content will be submitted to our team to examine the quality of the content. Learn more about that here. 

Allow for up to 3 business days for our team to arrive at a conclusion. 

You can track progress using the status above the completeness bar.
  • Pending - our team is still reviewing the content or not enough content has been updated yet. 
  • Approved - it’s been accepted
  • Rejected - you need to make some changes to reach the noon standards of content quality. Refer to the rejection reasons below the status to correct the mistakes. 
Notes
Note: 
-Even if you list products through the spreadsheet import, you’ll
 be able to track their status one-by-one. Simply look for the partner
 SKU in the Partner Catalog tab. 
-Price need to be added after completing the content, this is mandatory to go for QC.

Offer

Once you’ve completed the content, you only need to add your offer information. 

Navigate to the Offer tab and fill in the below listed details:

  • Price

  • Stock and processing time (If you adopt the sell as Fulfilled By Partner operational models) 

  • Barcode 

  • Warranty if applicable

Notes
You have the option to either wait for your content to be approved before filling out the offer details, or you can complete the offer details while waiting for the approval.
For more detailed instructions, watch the tutorial videos below that cover how to create SKU, upload images, and update pricing and stock information.


 Seller SKU going live 

For the Seller SKU to go live on noon.com, you need the following: 
  • Approved content
  • Correct offer information, which includes stock, price, barcode and warranty.  

Once you've added all your product description, save the changes, and your product will be submitted for review and approval by noon. Within three (3) business days on average your product will either be approved and ready to go live, or you'll receive a request to edit it. You can then edit the product and submit it again for review and approval.

You can use the Health tab (next to the Content one) to monitor the state of your SKU. When the SKU is live it will give you helpful metrics such as buy box win percentage to track the success of the SKU, and when it’s not live, it will show you the reasons for which it is not.  

Some of the commons reasons of SKU being Not Live: 

  • Product Active or Product not Active: it means your product has not been approved by our team yet. 
  • Offer is Gated: it means you’re not allowed to sell this product. Reach out to our seller support team for more information. 
  • Stock Check: means that the stock is not available: you have run out of stock, update that information. 

If you are unable to understand the listing rejection reason or if you're facing any other issues with the listing, you can request help by clicking "Need Support? Reach Out to Us", then you can select the reason of your concern and a representative will get in touch with you at the earliest.
