Catalogue management for UK stores.

A British catalogue picks up problems that a US-only one does not. The supplier is in China or the US and the copy shows it. Prices are held ex-VAT in one system and inc-VAT in another. A dress is size 8 in one file and "S" in another. This page covers how we clean that up, and what is specific to selling in the UK.

What you get

• UK English throughout: spelling, vocabulary and measurements corrected in titles, descriptions and tags.
• Consistent attributes: one colour list, one material list, one size scheme across the range.
• Category mapping: Shopify product types, Google product categories and marketplace category trees.
• Barcode and SKU checks: EAN-13 barcodes in the right field, duplicates found, SKU patterns tidied.
• Weights in grams and kilograms: so Royal Mail, Evri and DPD rates are correct.
• Descriptions tidied: broken HTML removed, missing text drafted for your approval.
• Image naming and alt text: matched to SKUs.
• A change log of every edit, before and after.

How it works

1. Send an export and access. A CSV or a staff or collaborator account. No passwords.
2. We audit and quote. Findings and a fixed price, sent before work starts.
3. We clean. The AI engine does the volume; a person reviews every output.
4. You approve. Changes arrive as a file or drafts, never pushed live unchecked.
5. Load and report. Approved changes applied and the change log handed over.

What is specific to UK catalogues

VAT-inclusive prices

UK shoppers expect to see the final price. If your data holds net prices and a plugin adds 20% on top, then exports, feeds and marketplace listings can all disagree. We trace which system holds which number, and give you one source of truth. For Google Shopping, the price in the feed has to match the price shown on the product page, VAT included, or the product risks disapproval.

Sizing

UK sizing differs from US and EU in ways that cause returns. A UK 8 dress is a US 4 and an EU 36. Shoes run UK 6 to US 8 for women. We keep the UK size as the primary option and put conversions into a size chart rather than doubling the options.

Spelling and search terms

"Trainers", not "sneakers". "Jumper", not "sweater". "Wellies", "kitchen roll", "bin bags", "nappies". We use British terms because that is what UK shoppers type into Google, and because Amazon.co.uk indexes them. We do not guess at regional slang, though, and anything unclear gets flagged to you.

Marketplaces and channels

On Amazon.co.uk and eBay UK, condition, brand and EAN fields drive visibility. OnBuy and Google Shopping UK have their own category trees. We hold one master record and produce channel versions, so you do not have to maintain four spreadsheets.

Delivery and returns text

UK consumer rules on returns (the 14-day cancellation period for distance sales, for example) tend to be written into product or policy text. We leave your legal wording as it is, but make sure it is applied consistently across pages. We do not write legal text.

Product marking

Electricals, toys, cosmetics and children's products carry marking requirements. We keep any existing safety text in descriptions and flag products where it is missing, but we do not advise on compliance.

Pricing

UK catalogue cleanup starts at £159 for up to 250 products. Adding new products through bulk product upload starts at £199 for up to 250. Monthly Catalog Ops starts at £279 per month. We give a fixed quote after inspecting your files. See pricing.

Is this a fit?

It suits UK stores with a few hundred or more products, mixed supplier data, or a catalogue that has been through several hands. It is especially useful before you open a second channel or switch platforms.

If you have a small, tidy range you wrote yourself, a spreadsheet and our data quality checklist will do the job. If your real problem is moving platform, see our Shopify migration service for the UK.
