Products belonging to the category of dietary supplements must meet specific specifications.
Name (name)
The name / title of the product
The title must include the important characteristics of the product and be consistent with the packaging of the product.
Specifically, the title should mention:
- The flavor

In case a product is available in different flavors, a separate entry should be sent in the XML file for each flavor.

The main photo of the product
The photo must represent the product and clearly depict the entire displayed product. The product shown in the photo must match the product stated in the title, e.g. specific flavor, multipack, set.
For example, if the title states that it is an apple-flavored product, the photo should depict the packaging with apple flavor in the same quantity as stated in the title.
If the title states that it is a multipack, e.g. 12 pieces, the photo should depict the multipack of 12 pieces.
Similarly, if it is a set, the photo should depict all the products included in it.
EAN / Barcode
The international item number
The EAN or barcode should be stated in the relevant field in the XML file (this code usually consists of 13 digits).
Manufacturer
The manufacturer of the product
The manufacturer must be stated in the corresponding manufacturer field in the XML file. In these specific categories, products of unknown manufacturer (OEM) and products from uncertified manufacturers that do not have an official page are not classified.
Product Link
Link of the product in the XML
The redirection must take place to the exact type that is stated in the title of the product.
For example, if the title states that the product has a chocolate flavor and is 50g, then the redirection through the product link must lead to the product's eshop page with these specific characteristics (chocolate - 50g) and not to a product of a different flavor or quantity.
Set (bundles)
Products in bundles can be categorized as the following:
- Official set of brands and if the EAN / barcode indicated corresponds to the packaging of the set
- Non-official bundles containing products from the same manufacturer, as long as the following conditions are met:
⇨ Valid Unique Ean for all products
⇨ State the words "custom bundle" in the path or title or description
⇨ Indicate all products in the bundle in the title or description
Notices
- Duplicate Products
-
In these specific categories, sending two entries for the same product is acceptable from the store, as long as one of the two entries includes a gift. Additionally, the price should not differ in the two entries, meaning the product accompanied by the gift must have the same price as the individual product.
If the price is higher, then the one of the two entries is not classified. - Expiration Date
-
Products that are about to expire soon (short-dated) are not classified in any of the categories.
