Product catalogue cleanup
Help a seller make an existing product catalogue consistent by organising titles, dimensions, images and other supplied facts. Begin with a narrow set of fields and a reviewable change sheet rather than changing a live shop in bulk.
A good fit if…
You notice inconsistencies, can work systematically and understand why a product description must match the actual item.
Think twice if…
This is not product-safety certification, translation expertise or permission to invent missing specifications. Price, stock and legal claims should remain untouched unless separately authorised and verified.
Try a small demand test.
Use a fictional catalogue to show how inconsistent fields cause confusion. Ask a seller to identify one small product group that needs attention and test a sample change sheet before processing more.
Five practical first steps.
- Agree the fields, source of truth and products included in the cleanup.
- Export a backup and work on a copy with stable product identifiers.
- Normalise only agreed formatting and record every proposed change alongside its original value.
- Flag missing or conflicting facts for the seller rather than filling them with guesses.
- Obtain approval, test a small import and reconcile results before any wider update.

Catalogue inconsistency report
What starts it: The seller provides an authorised catalogue export.
- Check required fields and repeated identifiers
- Group formatting inconsistencies
- Prepare a proposed correction sheet
You stay in control. Verify all product facts and approve the change file before import; never overwrite live prices or inventory automatically.
