Updated October 24, 2026 · datawebot team ## Noon Catalog and Partner Catalog hold different product records Noon uses catalog identifiers for content ownership and a separate seller catalog for each partner’s products and offers. An NSKU or ZSKU answers which product content is being referenced; a Partner SKU and PSKU Code identify a seller’s own catalog item. | Identifier or catalog | Noon seller guidance | How to keep it distinct | | --- | --- | --- | | NSKU / Noon SKU | Noon-controlled catalog content, generally for Noon-controlled brands. New Noon SKUs follow this rule, but older NSKUs for other brands remain in circulation. | An N-prefixed page identifier is a useful source clue, not proof that an older SKU belongs to a currently Noon-controlled brand. | | ZSKU / Seller SKU | Seller-controlled product content for products that are not Noon-controlled brands. The seller creates and can manage this content. | Keep the seller’s content and identifier with its seller account; do not merge similar seller-created records by title alone. | | Partner SKU | The seller’s own product key, unique in that seller’s catalog. A seller can use it to make its own offer against an existing NSKU. | Keep it alongside seller identity and offer context, even when multiple sellers reference the same Noon catalog product. | | PSKU Code | A unique identifier generated by Noon for each Partner SKU and available in catalog exports. | Store it separately from the seller-assigned Partner SKU; the two codes are not interchangeable. | | Noon Catalog / Partner Catalog | Noon Catalog holds Noon catalog products. Partner Catalog contains a seller’s own products and offer details. | Do not treat a shared catalog page, seller catalog item, and market-specific offer as one record. | [Noon seller FAQ: NSKU, ZSKU, Partner SKU and catalog records ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/product-listing/listing-products-on-noon-faq) · [Noon product listing policy and SKU ownership ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/product-listing/product-listing-policy) ## A Noon seller offer adds market, stock, price and visibility Noon’s Partner Catalog documentation describes seller-side offer fields that can change independently of shared product content. Keep market, seller, fulfillment model and observation time with each offer. The Seller Lab view is not a guarantee that every field appears to anonymous storefront visitors. | Seller-side field | What the documentation describes | Comparison boundary | | --- | --- | --- | | Seller and market | The seller’s catalog and selected Noon marketplace/store. | Do not compare two offers as equivalent without retaining seller and market context. | | Customer-visible price | Partner Catalog can show the product price visible to customers, described in the FAQ as inclusive of VAT, fees and commission. | Keep the observed storefront price and seller-side record separate from a calculator estimate, final checkout total, and later financial statement. | | FBP and FBN stock | Partner Catalog can show the seller’s quantities for Fulfilled by Partner and Fulfilled by Noon. | A seller portal quantity is not an anonymous public stock feed or a promise that an order can be fulfilled. | | Product visibility | The catalog tracks whether a seller product is visible to customers. | A visibility status is not the same as the product’s content identity or proof of current availability in every market. | | Barcode and warranty | The Partner Catalog includes the seller product’s barcode and warranty information. | Keep these seller product fields with their source; do not silently copy them across sellers or catalog matches. | | Estimated fees | The Fees and Revenue Calculator compares standard FBN/FBP fee and revenue estimates; the documented estimates exclude VAT and some exceptional charges. | Keep an estimate separate from actual fees in the seller’s statement and from the buyer-facing listed price. | [Noon seller FAQ: Partner Catalog fields and offer state ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/product-listing/listing-products-on-noon-faq) · [Noon Fees and Revenue Calculator: estimates and exclusions ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/price-and-inventory/fees-and-revenue-calculator) · [Build a product price history from dated observations ↗](https://www.datawebot.com/learn/build-product-price-history-database) ## Size variants and attribute groups use different links Noon seller guidance separates apparel/footwear size children from color and other attribute groups. A guide step that adds one size option at a time describes the listing workflow; it is not a universal rule that every kind of variation has one axis. | Variation relationship | Noon documentation | What to preserve | | --- | --- | --- | | Size parent and child | Seller SKU products can use a parent and child relationship; the child represents a size option in the documented apparel/footwear workflow. | Keep the parent reference, child SKU, exact selected size label, and the source page or catalog evidence. | | Seller Size and noon Size | Seller Size reflects the label on the physical product. noon Size is a separate normalized approximation used for apparel/footwear size discovery and filters. | Retain both values and label the normalized size as a mapping; do not replace the seller’s original size. | | Color and other attributes | Colors or category-specific attributes can be organized into groups that link Partner SKUs. Attributes and eligibility depend on category and brand rules. | Keep group membership separate from the size parent/child link. Do not assume every attribute group is a variant family with interchangeable offers. | | Price, stock and images | The variation guide says options can have different prices and stock; color variations can have their own images. | Associate each field with the specific Partner SKU/selected option when the source provides that relation. | [Noon guide to sizes, colors and product-attribute groups ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/product-listing/creating-product-variations-adding-sizes-colors-and-other-attributes) · [Noon product listing policy ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/product-listing/product-listing-policy) ## Market, fulfillment and cross-border destination affect comparison Noon’s current seller onboarding FAQ names KSA, UAE and Egypt as operating seller markets. Fulfillment and cross-border eligibility add another layer: an eligible UAE offer can reach some GCC destinations, while KSA uses a separate cross-border lane. Record the selected seller market and buyer destination independently. | Context | Documented Noon model | Keep separate from | | --- | --- | --- | | Seller market | KSA, UAE and Egypt are the markets named in the current onboarding FAQ. | A cross-border delivery destination or a seller’s eligibility to open another market store. | | FBN | Fulfilled by Noon: Noon stores, picks, packs and ships the product from its fulfillment operation. | Seller-held FBP stock, public availability labels, or a specific delivery estimate. | | FBP | Fulfilled by Partner: the seller holds and fulfills the product under the selected seller model. | FBN warehouse inventory or the details of another FBP shipping model. | | UAE GCC lane | Current seller guidance describes eligible UAE offers reaching Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait; eligible fulfillment models and product restrictions apply. | A separate Noon seller marketplace in each destination country or availability of every UAE listing. | | KSA cross-border lane | The seller guide treats Saudi cross-border selling as a separate lane from the UAE GCC program. | The UAE GCC destination rules, a fixed delivery time, or a universal fee. | | Price and delivery observation | Store the shown currency, market, destination, fulfillment wording and observation time when available. | A converted price, final landed cost or current delivery promise inferred from a different market or date. | [Noon seller onboarding FAQ: current markets and fulfillment models ↗](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/seller-onboarding-faq) · [Noon cross-border selling: eligible UAE and KSA lanes ↗](https://helpcenter.noon.partners/en/category/global-selling/cross-border-selling) · [Guide to ecommerce price monitoring ↗](https://www.datawebot.com/learn/price-monitoring-guide-for-ecommerce) ## Noon’s robots.txt allows broad crawling by named AI agents Checked on 30 September 2026 Singapore time (UTC+8); this page’s content review stamp uses the UTC date, 29 September 2026.
