In Business Manager, click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | Home. Under Product Readiness, view the products in your catalog that aren't storefront-ready or that aren't assigned a category. To navigate to a filtered list of products that aren't storefront-ready, click View Details.

The Readiness column in the Product List displays the readiness status for each of the products in your catalog.

Readiness checks for a product where all checks have passed

By default, the system runs these checks for each product in your site catalog:

  • Name. A product name is added.
  • Image. At least one product image is assigned.
  • Online Status. The product is visible on the storefront.
  • Inventory Status. The product is available in the inventory.
  • Price Availability. The price is specified for the product.
  • Search Status. The product is included in the search index.
  • Short Description. A product short description is available.
  • Product Details. The long description is available.

If required, you can customize the readiness checks.

Hover over the readiness score to view the details of the readiness checks. If any of the data is missing, see Edit Product Details to add or update the corresponding field.

By default, the Readiness column is included in product lists created in the B2C Commerce 26.4 release and later. If you're using an older product list and want to include the Readiness column, add it using the column picker. See Product Lists for B2C Commerce.

View the jobs for analyzing product readiness from App Launcher | Administration | Jobs. The job run time depends on the size of your catalogs and the number of stores.
