Automatic pre-moderation of product data

Installation

1. Ensure the vendor_data_premoderation add-on is installed and activated
2. Activate the add-on in Administration → Add-ons → Manage add-ons
3. On installation, the add-on adds pre_moderation and pre_moderation_edit fields to the companies table

Configuration

Go to Administration → Add-ons → Manage add-ons → MS: Automatic pre-moderation of product data.

Field validation

• Enable validation for fields: select required fields (name, categories, price, description, images, code, weight, etc.)
• Enable validation for products created from master: fields to validate for variant products
• Required delivery fields: weight, items in box, box dimensions

Features and master products

• Check the following features: select required features
• Create master product on approval: automatic master product creation
• Combine master products into variations: group into variation groups
• Approve child variations when approving parent

Whitelist and CommerceML

• Automatically add seller to whitelist: dialog when approving all products
• Do not check companies: list of companies without moderation
• CommerceML settings: skip page_title, features, name and feature moderation on import

Usage

Administrator: check products for moderation, approve, use "Approve all seller's products" button.

Seller: create and edit products with required fields filled; product is sent for moderation.

Verification

Create a product without required fields — it should be sent for moderation. Approve the product — with options enabled, a master product will be created and variations grouped.

Troubleshooting

Check vendor_data_premoderation settings, company whitelist, master product creation option. For variation errors, ensure product_variations add-on is installed.
