Marketplace Catalog Rules in the Seller Portal

As a seller, you can view catalog rules in the Seller Portal. Catalog rules are product requirements that you must meet so your products are displayed in the marketplace.

To view catalog rules:

1. Go to Products > Marketplace Catalog Rules.

Alternatively:

1. Go to Products > Manage Products.
2. Click the information icon beside the "Meet rules?" column heading.

Catalog rules come in two types: hard blocks, which reject listings that fail your marketplace's non-negotiable requirements, and transformations, which automatically clean up listings that pass (for example, fixing casing or removing special characters) so you don't need to resubmit for minor issues. Rules run in a fixed order: hard blocks first, then transformations.

The Marketplace Catalog Rules page shows the first 20 catalog rules of each type. Click More Catalog Rules to display more rules.

Catalog rules fields

Hard blocks and transformations are listed in separate tables, each with their own fields.

Hard Blocks

• Rule ID: Rule ID for a particular hard block.
• Date added: You can sort the date by clicking the arrow beside the Date added column heading. By default, this field is arranged in ascending order.
• Category: The product category the rule applies to, or "All" if it applies marketplace-wide.
• Attribute: By default, this field is arranged in which the rules for products come first before the rules for variants. You can sort the order of the attributes by clicking the arrow button beside the Attribute column heading.
• Value set name: The name of the value set the rule checks against, if applicable.
• Rule description: This field displays more details about the hard block.
• Rule outcome: Whether the rule results in a warning or blocks the listing outright.

AI Transformations

• Rule ID: Rule ID for a particular transformation.
• Date added: The date the transformation was added.
• Attribute: The product attribute the transformation applies to (Product Title or Product Description).

• Description: A description of what the transformation does.

To filter the catalog rules of a particular attribute, click the Select an attribute dropdown and select from the list of attributes. To reset the filter, select None from the Select an attribute dropdown.
