SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Thalia provides a style guide that lists the channel's minimum data requirements.

Always indicate your supplier address as the address for returns. Notify Thalia of any incoming returns, the channel will then do the offsetting. On rare occasions, returns may be transferred to the supplier via the channel's central warehouse.

Search terms help the customer to find your product. They are either used by the shop directly for the search on the website or they are collected as SEO so that your products can be found, for example, in a Google search. Search terms are part of the master data and should therefore be created as generic as possible so you may use them at any channel that supports search terms. We recommend creating about 5 search terms that are entered comma-separated into the respective field. Each search term should have a length of up to 50 characters each.

Bullet points serve for the fast orientation of the customer in the shop. Choose particular properties and notes that you didn't store as components.
