Require Product Approval

You can configure Nautical to require all products and variants added or changed by sellers be approved by a marketplace operator before they're available for purchase.

When this feature is enabled, the Status field appears, and new products and variants enter an "In Review" state until an operator approves or rejects them. Only approved items will be visible to buyers.

If this feature is turned off, sellers can add and display products and variants in the storefront without the operator's approval.

Enable product approvals

You can enable product approvals within your marketplace configuration settings, or contact Nautical Support to make the necessary configuration changes.

1. Go to Settings -> Marketplace configuration
2. Under Products, turn on Require product approvals.
3. Select Save.
