Link your preferred social media channels, especially Instagram or Facebook, to your Orderchamp account to connect with customers and build credibility.
Step 5 - Product Titles
Craft clear and informative titles that include the product's purpose, color, material, and quantity if applicable.
A great Product Title describes:
-
The purpose or functionality of the product
- Preferably in 1 or 2 words
- For example: “Vase”, “Desk Chair”
-
The colour of the product
- Preferably in 1 or 2 words
- For example: “Red”, “Light Blue”
-
The material of the product
- Preferably in 1 or 2 words
- For example: “Cotton”, “Olive Wood”
-
The quantity if sold as a case or pack, refrain from using measurements in the title,
- Add the number of units and “pc” between brackets
- For example “Light Blue Cotton Romper (2 pc)”
Important note: Remember to check the box “Auto translate the titles of my products” in the admin under “Marketplace” >> “Storefronts”.
This enables automatic translation for titles in different languages.

Step 6 - Product Descriptions
Provide detailed descriptions that highlight the brand, product functionality, unique selling points, benefits, awards, and additional information not visible in product images. Include dimensions, weight, volume, and other relevant details.
A great Product Description has the following elements:
-
Tagline about the brand
- In case the retailer did not read your “About The Brand” section yet, they still get a feeling on what your brand is all about
- Explanation of the functionality of the product
- Description of the unique selling points of the product
- List of benefits of the product
- Details of awards won for the product or the brand overall
-
Any other additional information that the retailer doesn’t see in the product pictures, for example:
- Product is made by special technique
- Product has been patented
- Product is climate positive - saves water, decreases the customer’s carbon footprint
- Product is created in a responsible way
- Dimensions, weight and volume if applicable

Step 7 - Product Photography
Use high-resolution images (800x800 pixels or higher) with a white background to showcase products clearly. Include at least three images, such as a neutral shot, a mood image, and a packaging image. Capture close-ups of special details.
Product Photography guidelines:
- Resolution of 800 x 800 pixels or higher
- Showcase the product clearly and simply
- Background should be white, plain to highlight the details of your product best
- Use similar backgrounds for all your products, providing your storefront a uniform look and feel
- Ensure product is centered and shot from the customer’s perspective
-
Minimum of 3 pictures
- Picture with a neutral background
- Mood picture showcasing the product
- Picture showing the packaging of the product
- Close up images of special details

Step 8 - Product Pricing
Maintain consistent pricing across all sales channels and fill in the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) and wholesale price accurately. Consider offering bulk discounts.
Please follow this checklist to make sure your pricing is clear:
- Fill in the best possible and lowest Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Please note that this price needs to be the same as the prices you offer on other sales channels
- Fill in the wholesale price
- Do not add samples to the product as a choice, because the MSRP defaults to EUR 0
-
Consider adding bulk discounts
- This increases margins and therefore boosts conversion!
Retailers have the right to report incorrect pricing to us and once confirmed, this will negatively impact your ranking on our platform.
