Listing products — pricing, specs, stock, shipping

A great SA Fashion Mall listing tells a story fast: what the piece is, what it feels like to wear, and why the buyer should trust you to send it exactly as pictured. Every field on the product form has a purpose — here's how to use it.

Photography

• 5–8 images per listing. First image is the hero — clean background, garment on a model or clean hanger.
• Include: front + back + detail shot of fabric texture + close-up of a construction detail (seam, embroidery, buttons).
• Natural light beats flash. Shoot near a window between 9am and 3pm for even colour rendering.
• Max 5MB per image; JPG or WEBP. Client-side compression is automatic in the ImageDropzone.
• Every image runs through GPT-4o Vision QC — off-topic, blurry or cluttered images are rejected with a specific reason.

Description

• Aim for 120–250 words. Longer converts better than shorter.
• Lead with the vibe ("tailored for wedding season", "streetwear that survives Joburg summer").
• Cover: fabric composition, care instructions, fit (relaxed / structured / tailored), model dimensions.
• Avoid comparisons to major brands ("like Gucci but cheaper") — content-scanner flags these as counterfeit-risk.

Tailor-spec measurements

If a piece is available in a made-to-measure variant, list the measurements you need from the buyer (Chest, Waist, Inseam, etc.) as tailor-spec fields. These render as inputs on the buyer's product page.

Stock, size variants and shipping

• Top-level stock count OR per-size variant counts (choose one). Variant counts propagate to the buyer's size picker.
• Two shipping fees: LOCAL (within your province) and NATIONAL (elsewhere in SA). Use realistic courier rates — you keep 100%.
• You can bulk-upload up to 200 listings at a time via CSV in Vendor Studio → Products → Bulk upload.
