Product Catalog & Moderation
The Products module gives admins full control over the marketplace product catalog. This includes reviewing vendor product submissions, organizing the catalog with categories and collections, managing brands, and performing bulk operations.
Product List
The main product list displays all products across all vendors with rich filtering and search.
Columns

| Status | Published, draft, pending review, rejected |
| Category | Product category |
| Price Range | Min-max price across all variants |
| Inventory | Total stock across all variants |
| Created | Date the product was submitted |
Filters
- Status — Published, draft, pending review, rejected

- Category — Filter by product category
- Collection — Filter by collection membership

Search
Free-text search matches against product title, SKU, description, and vendor name.
Product Moderation
When vendors submit new products or update existing ones, they enter a pending review queue. The moderation interface lets admins review and act on submissions efficiently.
Navigate to Products > Pending Review to see all products awaiting moderation.
Click a product to review its title, description, images, pricing, variants, and category assignment. Check for:
- Accurate and appropriate product title and description
- High-quality images that match the product
- Correct pricing and variant configuration
- Appropriate category and attribute assignment
- Compliance with marketplace policies (no prohibited items)
- Approve — The product is published to the marketplace immediately.
- Reject — The product is sent back to the vendor with a rejection reason. The vendor can revise and resubmit.
QA Tools
The moderation interface includes quality assurance tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Image check | Verify image quality, dimensions, and appropriateness |
| Price check | Compare pricing against similar products on the platform |
| Description check | Detect placeholder text, excessive formatting, or policy violations |
| Duplicate check | Flag products that appear to duplicate existing listings |
Bulk Operations
Perform actions on multiple products at once by selecting them from the product list:
Enable / Disable
Bulk enable or disable selected products. Disabled products are hidden from the storefront but not deleted.
Pricing Update
Apply a percentage increase or decrease to all selected products, or set fixed prices for specific variants.
Category Assignment
Move selected products to a different category or add them to additional categories.
Collection Assignment
Add or remove selected products from collections.
Import & Export
Import
Upload products in bulk using CSV or JSON files:
- Download the import template with required columns and formatting rules
- Fill in product data including title, description, variants, prices, and images (as URLs)
- Upload the file and review the validation report
- Confirm the import to create or update products
Export
Export the product catalog or a filtered subset:
- Choose export format: CSV or JSON
- Select columns to include
- Apply any active filters before exporting
- Download the generated file
Exports include all product data: title, description, variants, pricing, inventory, categories, and vendor attribution.
Categories
Manage the hierarchical category tree that organizes the marketplace catalog.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Create | Add a new category with name, slug, description, image, and parent category |
| Edit | Update category details, reorder within the hierarchy, change parent |
| Delete | Remove a category (products in the category must be reassigned first) |
| Reorder | Drag and drop to change the display order of categories at the same level |
Categories support unlimited nesting depth (e.g., Electronics > Computers > Laptops > Gaming Laptops).
Collections
Collections are curated groups of products that can span multiple categories (e.g., "Summer Sale", "New Arrivals", "Staff Picks").
- Create collections with a title, description, and cover image
- Add products manually or define automatic rules (e.g., all products in a category with a specific tag)
- Set collection visibility (published/draft)
- Schedule collections to go live at a specific date and time
Brands
Manage the brand directory used across the catalog:
- Create, edit, and delete brands
- Each brand has a name, logo, and description
- Assign brands to products during product creation or editing
- Filter the product list by brand
Spec Templates
Spec templates define structured attribute sets for product categories. For example, the "Laptops" category might have a spec template with fields for screen size, processor, RAM, and storage.
- Create templates with custom fields (text, number, select, multi-select, boolean)
- Assign templates to categories
- When vendors create products in that category, they are prompted to fill in the spec template fields
- Spec data is searchable and filterable on the storefront
Well-defined spec templates improve the shopping experience by enabling precise filtering and comparison between products.
