Decision summary
Marketplace-focused wholesale PSN code guidance for SKU taxonomy, seller permissions, batch tracking, and claim routing.
Marketplace operators should map every delivered line to a region-specific listing and repeat the region before checkout. A batch record linking supplier order, marketplace SKU, delivery time, and claim history gives support enough context without exposing unrelated codes.
Decision fields
Require product type, region, currency, value or duration, and batch ID.
Limit who can see raw codes and who can publish listings.
Route customer claims by marketplace order ID, batch ID, and support evidence.
Add seller volume only after taxonomy and access permissions work.
Marketplace publish gate
Release a listing only when the buyer-facing attributes and the internal evidence point to the same inventory line. A hold is an operational state, not a claim about supplier availability.
| Gate | Evidence to check | Hold condition |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog identity | Stable SKU key, product type, account region, currency, value or duration, and source record | Hold when any required attribute is blank, ambiguous, or copied from a different SKU. |
| Permission | Named role allowed to edit, approve, publish, fulfil, and withdraw the listing | Hold when publication rights or raw-code custody are not assigned. |
| Order evidence | Approved quote, payment proof, delivery timestamp, batch reference, and inventory state | Hold when the delivered line cannot be matched to the approved order record. |
| Customer copy | Region warning, product type, redemption boundary, and support route | Hold when copy could imply cross-region compatibility or omit the claim evidence path. |
| Reconciliation | Listing version, order IDs, batch link, delivery event, and correction trail | Hold release when the support team cannot reconstruct one listing-to-order path. |
Marketplace supply workflow
Make region and product type required before upload.
Connect each supplier delivery to a marketplace batch ID.
Separate raw-code access from support and finance metadata access.
Improve listing rules when customer confusion repeats.
Marketplace listing mistakes
- Do not let sellers publish regionless PSN listings.
- Do not expose raw code files broadly across support or seller teams.
- Do not treat customer claims as isolated if they share a batch or listing pattern.
