(Shared for all countries) = Content/settings are shared for all countries and can not be changed for one market to be different than other markets. When adding a completely new product that is not yet available in any other market, this info is required to publish the product online.
Product Title
You can choose to translate the product title, or keep the English name.
Slug
The url of the product is always formed on the hand of the product title, except for languages with special characters.
If you would like to choose your slug yourself, you can send us your proposal.
Keep in mind that slugs can not contain capital letters, accents, special characters or spaces. Spaces are always replaced by '-'
EXAMPLE:
Product title: Alpro Soya Orignal will have
Slug: alpro-soya-original
Product Description Title
The Product Description title is the text in the blue box 'Learn a little more about ...'
These texts were already translated and verified by the local markets when transitioning to the new Alpro 2.0 environment.
But always need to be double checked when a product has been put live.
SKU number
All the nutritional information, ingredients and benefits of a product are shown on the product detail page of each product. Information is coming straight out of PLM, trough the SKU code.
This also means that changes in values need to be made in PLM, and can not be adapted in the website CMS system.
New product YES/NO
YES will give your product a 'NEW' tag on the website, to draw your customers' attention.
Product Sizes & Variants
Please do always mention in what size the product is available.
For the drinks, there's a rule* to only display a product once on the website (preferably in the 1L pack) if it's available in more than one size.
*We have this rule to keep the website clean and clear. This rule is only applicable for DRINKS, since the recipe of the different sizes is the same. For all the other product categories, we display the products separate in the different sizes.
EXAMPLE:
Soya Original is available in UK in 1L and 500ml, but is as one product on the website, with all the available sizes mentioned. - But PBAY Strawberry in 500g and 4x125g are two different products.
Packshot bynderlink
The packshot of the product will fallback be the English (UK) packshot. Since the packs are different in each country, it's important to share the bynderlink** to the packshot. It's important to always send the link to a packshot without white background.
** Bynderlink is needed because there are no manual uploads possible in the CMS system of the website.
Teaser
The text is the text next to the product image (packshot)
These texts were already translated and verified by the local markets when transitioning to the new Alpro 2.0 environment.
But always need to be double checked when a product has been put live.
Idealy, this text is not just a copy of the product description texts, for SEO purposes.
Product Details
The marketing text should always be translated. If the translation is not shared, the fallback English text will be displayed.
This can not be left blank.
