Online catalogue setup
Organize a merchant's approved product data, images and categories for a store catalogue.
What to price before starting
Price platform access, import tools and a staging environment.
Use your own written quotes, including recurring costs and the cash you could lose. Owning equipment does not establish customer demand.
Skills you must be able to demonstrate
Structured data, image handling and clear product descriptions.
Before the first payment
Confirm source accuracy, publication authority and a reviewable import plan.
Keep the deliverable, exclusions, approvals and payment responsibility in writing. Do not treat a lead, an invoice or a promised reimbursement as money received.
Where this can go wrong
Wrong prices, variants or stock information can create customer disputes.
Requirements and refusal boundaries
Do not invent product claims or publish changes without the merchant's approval.
Confirm the exact activity with the relevant authority and insurer. The references below explain general issues; they do not approve this individual service in your jurisdiction.
A lower-risk validation step
Build a demonstration catalogue with fictional products and test variants.
Set a stop condition before spending: what evidence would make you decline, change scope or stop? A practice sample should never expose another person's confidential material.
