Managing Target Listing Attributes

When entering the attributes of your Target listings, consider the following guidelines:

Product

• Product Title - Ensure the product title is between 2 and 100 characters long.
• Description - Write a description that is at least 50 words long and no more than 4000 characters. You may include the following HTML tags: <b>, <br, <i>, <ul>, and <li>.
• Bullet Features - Highlight key product features using bullet points. Aim for 4 to 8 bullet points. Remove any unnecessary elements such as bullet symbols, arrows, long hyphens, and invisible white spaces.

Category

• Category - Select a category from the list of approved Target categories. Click Refresh List of Categories to ensure you have the most current options. If you can't find a category you have already been approved for, open a support ticket with Target for further assistance.

• Attributes - The required attributes will vary depending on the selected category.

  Target periodically updates the required attributes by category. Typically, you won't need to go back and update existing listings. However, if you modify any attribute on a listing, you must also update the values for the new category attributes. The listing will move to Review by the internal approval process until the new attributes are entered.

  This update process can happen automatically on synced listings when a product field is updated.

Price

• List Price - The regular retail price of the product without any discounts or promotions. This price will be displayed in black on Target's website. Updates to the list price for a published listing will typically take effect within 30 minutes.
• Sale Price - Also known as the Offer Price, this is a discounted price lower than the list price. It will be displayed in red on Target's website to indicate a special sale or discount. To remove any promotional prices and revert to the list price, set the Sale Price to 0.

Images

• Target strongly recommends uploading 2-3 images per listing.
• Ensure that each image meets the minimum size requirement of 450 x 450 pixels.
• While Target's API does not support video uploads, sellers are encouraged to submit product videos via email. For more detailed instructions on submitting product videos, please refer to this article on Target Seller Portal.

Shipping

This section is optional.

• Only Eligible as Add-On Item - Determines whether the listing can be purchased individually (No) or only when the total cart value is $35 or more (Yes). By default, this is set to No.
• Eligible for 2-Day Shipping - Indicates whether you can guarantee 2-day shipping for this listing. The default setting is No. Note: If you offer 2-day shipping, you must also exclude US overseas territories using the next option.
• Shipping Exclusion - Indicates whether you ship this listing to US overseas territories (No) or if you don't ship to these territories (Yes). The default setting is No.
• Return Policy - Select one of your available return policies that applies to this listing. There are three return policy codes to choose from: AAA, AAB, and AAC.
  • To understand the descriptions of your return policy codes, click on the tooltip (?) next to Return Policy.
  • For more detailed information on return policies for your Target account, review Target Return Policies.
  • If no return policy is selected, the default will be Financial: Charge to Partner. Physical: Destroy.

Target Variation Listings

The maximum number of variation children allowed is 300. However, Target recommends limiting the number of variations to a maximum of 20 for better manageability.

Target allows only one image for the variation parent. The first image uploaded to the parent will be used as the main image for the listing on Target.

Understanding Target's Listing Review Process

After a listing is published and passes the internal review process, its status updates to Pending while Target reviews the new listing. Target typically completes the review within 72 hours. If the review takes longer, you can request an expedited review by opening a support ticket with Target.

For variations, it may take some time for the Target website to display related listings as a variation family. If this process exceeds 72 hours, open a support ticket with Target for further assistance.
