How long the moderation takes #
- After you added a new product, it will be checked within 1–3 business days. The product won’t be shown to customers until this is done. The product will start being shown when moderation is passed successfully, and you supply the product to Ozon warehouse and specify its stock in your warehouse.
- After you edited a product that has already passed moderation earlier, it will be checked within 1 business day. During the check, the product will continue being shown. If any errors are found in the edited product, it will be hidden.
- If after adding or editing a product that ended up not passing moderation you correct the errors and save the changes, the product will be checked within 1 business day. Until that, the product is not shown to customers, you can’t supply it to an Ozon warehouse and specify its stock in your warehouse.
Moderation errors #
Errors may occur during moderation that will make the product not show up on Ozon.
