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.

Content Update

Once the SKU is created, you can further enhance your content by adding more information about the product. The more content you provide the better are the chances to gain more visibility. 

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.

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 corrections in content & images without deleting it.     

Attention - Please do not make any changes in live products.

- You can start by updating the basic content. You will see that the Content check status shows as accepted, as it only comprises the title of the item and the Image of the item. Since you filled this in the product content, that content will be reviewed and approved. 

- Then comes the Additional Media, where you can add the video about the product, showing how to install the product or how to use the item.

Use this section to enrich your listing with specific attributes that help customers make informed buying decisions.

1. Product Detail Attributes: Fill in technical and descriptive fields such as Features, Care Instructions, and Materials.
2. Colour: Specify the exact Colour and Colour Name to ensure your product appears in relevant customer filters.
3. Bilingual Entries: While English is required, adding Arabic (Optional) translations can significantly increase your reach within the region.

- In the Offer tab, you will see the option to update your offer for noon and other marketplaces like Supermall, Global if you are eligible to sell on that platform.

1. Offer: Review and update your pricing, barcode, and stock levels.

1. Views: See how many potential customers have visited your product page.
2. Units Sold: Track the total volume of successful orders for this specific SKU.
3. Sales: View the total revenue generated by the product.
4. Business Model Filter: Use the dropdown menu to toggle performance data between different business models.
   

Group

The Group option under the catalog PDP allows the seller to map multiple Parent SKUs belonging to the same product type and sub-type, having a shared attribute like color or the item pack quantity.

You can either link the SKU to an existing group or create a new group by selecting the shared axes of the group. 

Note: If the SKU is not linked to any group, you will find the option to either link it to an Existing group or create a New group.

- If you choose the Link product to a group option, the pop-up will show the eligible group where you can link this SKU. You can select the suitable group and click on Link Group.

- If you want to link the SKU to a new group, you can proceed by clicking on Create New Group.

- In the pop-up that appears, you will need to provide a Name to the group and select the shared axes for the group. Then click on Next.

- In the next step, you are requested to select the similar Parent SKUs that can be a part of this group. You can select from existing SKUs or create a new SKU. Once the SKU is selected, click on Save to add the SKU to the group.

Note: The new SKU will have the same categorization as the current SKU. However, the other content details need to be filled in from your side.

- The SKUs will be a part of the new group and will be visible as shown in the screenshot below.

- You will have additional functions like adding more SKUs, editing the existing group, and other actions like unlinking the SKU from the group or even deleting the group. 

Size

To wrap up your product setup, use the Sizes tab to manage variants for items like apparel or footwear.

1. Add New Variants: Click + Add New Variant to create additional size options for your SKU.
2. Seller Size: Your internal size label.
3. Display Size: The size customers will see on the noon storefront.

5. Edit or Remove: Use the pencil icon to modify an existing variant or the trash icon to delete it.
6. Save Changes: Ensure you click Save Changes at the top of the page to apply your updates.
