Target Plus Listings

Creating Listings in Target Approved Categories

You can only create listings in the categories that have been approved for your account. To check which categories are approved, you can click on Refresh List of Categories. Alternatively, you can visit the Target Seller Portal, and access a report called Allowed Item Types under the Reports section to view all the approved categories for your account.

Target's Listing Review Process

After a listing is published, the listing stays in Pending while Target is reviewing the listing.

Target typically completes the review process within 72 hours. However, if the review takes longer than that, you can request an expedited review by opening a support ticket with Target.

In the case of variation listings, it may take some time for the Target website to display related listings as a variation. If this process exceeds 72 hours, you should open a support ticket with Target for further assistance.

Once you have consistently submitted multiple error-free listings, Target may upgrade your seller status to auto-approved. This means that your future listings will be immediately published without undergoing the manual review process.

Manage Listing Attributes

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

Product

• Product Title - The recommended length for the product title is between 2 and 100 characters.
• Description - The description should contain a minimum of 50 words and can have a maximum of 4000 characters. HTML tags are limited to <b> <br> <i> <ul> <li>.
• Bullet Features - Use bullet points to provide succinct product highlights. It is recommended to have between 4 to 8 bullet points. Ensure that you trim any unnecessary elements such as bullet symbols, arrows, long hyphens, invisible white spaces, etc.

Category

• Category - Choose a category from the list of available approved Target categories. To ensure you have the most up-to-date information, click on Refresh List of Categories to see any newly approved categories.
• Attributes - The specific attributes for a listing will vary based on the selected category.

If you encounter a situation where a listing is being reviewed for a missing category, but you cannot find the category field to provide the necessary information, reach out to Goflow Support for assistance.

Price

• List Price: The regular retail price of the product without any discounts or promotions. The list price will be displayed in black on Target's website. If you update the price for a published listing, the changes will typically take effect within approximately 30 minutes.

• Sale Price: Also known as the Offer Price, the sale price is a discounted price that is lower than the list price. The sale price will be displayed in red on Target's website, indicating a special sale or discount.

  To remove any promotional prices and revert back to the list price on Target, do so by setting the Sale Price to 0.

Images

• Target strongly recommends uploading 2-3 images per listing.
• Ensure that the images meet the minimum size requirement of at least 450 x 450 pixels.
• Target's API does not support video uploads. However, Target encourages sellers to submit product videos through email. For more detailed information on how to submit product videos, 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, it 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 that if you offer 2-Day shipping, you must also exclude US overseas territories, which is the next option.
• Shipping Exclusion - Whether you ship this listing to US overseas territories (No) or if you don't ship to 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.

Variations

• The maximum number of variation children allowed is 300. However, Target recommends avoiding excessive variations and suggests keeping the number of variations to a maximum of 20 for better manageability.
• Target allows only one parent image for variations. The first image uploaded to the parent will be used as the main image for the listing on Target.
