Prepare a catalog sample
Supply representative products with actual names, descriptions, variants, images, and approved claims. Identify the inventory source and who maintains it. A small sample reveals content needs before a full catalog import creates hundreds of incomplete listings.
Separate fulfilment choices
Document shipping, local pickup, and delivery only where the business actually supports them. Confirm policies with the owner. Do not write a return or shipping promise that the business has not approved.
Plan the browse path
Use categories that help buyers select a product, then create crawlable links to the listings. Google’s e-commerce structure documentation describes the search side of that hierarchy. Customer usability remains the first test.
Check the transaction states
Test variant selection, unavailable items, cart edits, validation, payment test mode, order acceptance, and confirmation. Inspect owner notifications separately from the payment response. A failed alert should not make a paid order disappear from the operating system.
Publish product facts accurately
Keep structured data consistent with visible information and the platform’s actual inventory. Do not invent ratings, reviews, availability, or product certifications. Images should show real merchandise when buyers depend on them.
Hand over an operating plan
Assign staff to products, policies, failed orders, and support contacts. Document platform access and ongoing costs. Use the retail workflow page to build a detailed preparation sheet before a quote.
