Removing or Changing Text from ALL Product Descriptions using a Product Action


Sometimes, you may need to add or remove certain text from all your product descriptions, before listing them on Catch. For example, you may wish to remove a promotional message from your product descriptions as it is specific only to your own eCommerce store. 


To remove a sentence which may not be relevant to selling on Catch e.g Next Day Delivery add -##Next Day Delivery##- to the description template. This will remove 'Next Day Delivery' from ALL Product Descriptions.


To replace/add keywords use -## | ##-. For example, to replace "Next Day Delivery" with "Ships in 5 days" add the following to the description template:  -##Next Day Delivery|Ships in 5 days##-  (note the | to split the two).


Eg Go to Products,, Product Actions, click Create Detailed Description.  In your Product Action, in the Detailed Description template field to 'remove' or 'remove and replace' respectively you would add:

$detailedDescription-##Next Day Delivery##-

OR

$detailedDescription-##Next Day Delivery|Ships in 5 days##-


See below:
