There a few attributes that have very specific requirements by the marketplaces for how they are to be formatted to avoid listing errors. Fabric Type is a commonly used attribute that has special requirements, but there are others that you should be familiar with as well. This article provides guidance on what those attributes are and how they are to be formatted within Zentail to ensure successful submissions, including examples of what not to do.
Relevant Attributes
Currently, the following attributes should be formatted in Zentail according to the guidance in this article:
Fabric Type
Back Material
Insole Material
Lining Material
Sole Material
Upper Material
General Structure
The attribute should be formatted as a comma separated list of fabrics (or materials) and percentages, with the percentage before the fabric
✅90% Cotton
❌Cotton-90%
The percentage must be followed by the % sign and a space before the fabric name
✅90% Cotton
❌90%Cotton
The percentage cannot be more than 2 decimal places
✅90.05% Cotton
❌90.0475% Cotton
The fabrics must be listed in descending order from most present to least present
✅90% Cotton, 10% Polyamide
❌10% Polyamide, 90% Cotton
example: 90% Cotton, 6% Polyamide, 4% Elastane
Inner / Outer Fabric structure
If your product has different fabric for the inner layer vs the outer layer you'll need to indicate that when you add the data to the Fabric Type attribute.
Inner and outer fabric types should be indicated with an
Inner:orOuter:at the start of the fabric type listsThe Inner and Outer fabric lists should be separated with a
;Within each fabric type lists, the same rules in the general structure apply (e.x. need to specify the percentage before each fabric, include the
%sign and a space between the percent and fabric, no more than 2 decimal places, fabrics listed in descending order).
