How Does It Work

Search-ability is a key criteria across all marketplaces.  Marketplace product attributes are additional data points specific to a particular product/SKU for selling on Catch.  


There are often category / product specific attributes that will assist with product searches on the marketplace, they also help with visibility and sales.


Omnivore offer 3 functions that will provide a solution for Catch Attributes.  Please read this FAQ thoroughly to discern which one applies to you.


Types Of Attributes


  1. Catch Keywords enables sellers to add Additional Keywords to your product listings on Catch to help customers find your products easily when they search on Catch.  Keywords need to be relevant to the product. For example, if you are selling a women's dress you may add words like 'Cocktail' or 'Formal' - these are words that a customer may use when searching for a dress.  Advanced Users:  You can add all keywords to the first field using a | symbol to separate them. For example Dress|LIttle black dress|Cocktail|Formal
  2. Catch Category Attributes includes sunglasses or sleepwear ratings, these are also strongly recommended as best practice to enhance the product information.  This type also includes the 'Contains Button Cell Batteries' which is now mandatory.
  3. Marketplace Attributes are used within Omnivore, they are derived from the Catch Marketplace Categories which each have their own set of attribute data you can select from.

  11. When using your own data select from the prepopulated drop list to apply, when using Free Text type in the data and click the Green Plus.
  12. To remove retailer attribute data use the Trash Icon OR from the free text field on the right delete to remove the data leaving the field blank..
  13. Continue to add attributes and click Upload to Catch when complete.



Marketplace Attribute Mapping


We can also map your attribute value to the marketplace value that is attached to the category.  For example for the attribute Gender your value may include 'Womens' but Catch might have 'Female'. We can apply mappings within Omnivore to match-up your data to the Catch data.  This is an admin only method, so you will  need to reach out to Support to apply this for you.

We will need the product example, the attribute name and the category.


When we set this up for you the mappings will look like this, see below.  This dictates how the retailer attribute values get translated into Catch Approved Attribute values.


Catch Mandatory Field Attributes

New mandatory, ACCC enforced safety and information standards, for all products containing a button and coin batteries. 

Catch is required to display onsite customer warnings on all products containing a button and coin batteries from the 22nd of June 2022. To facilitate this warning our Catch product attributes have a new field “Contains button cell batteries” which will become mandatory before the 22nd June 2022. All sellers must update all products which contain button/coin batteries to remain compliant and eligible to be sold through the Catch site.


  • If your products contain button/coin batteries, you need to change the attribute to ‘YES’ - go to 'Products - On Catch' then to the Catch Keywords/Attributes tab. Under the column 'Contains Button Cell Batteries choose 'yes' from the drop down. Go to the dashboard and click 'Upload to Catch'.
  • If your products DO NOT contain  any button/coin batteries, you don’t need to do anything - Omnivore has been set up to take care of this for you to ensure your products remain listed
