Best practices

These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.

  • Include as many of these product measurement attributes as possible.
  • Use the same unit of measurement for each product dimension attribute (including product length, width, and height). Otherwise, the information won't be displayed.
  • Use the actual assembled product weight for the product weight attribute. If your product comes in multiple pieces, for example, as part of a bundle, use the complete weight of all the pieces in the listing.

If you specified dimensions or weight in the product detail [product_detail] attribute as well, be sure they are using the same values and units.
