Missing data
Find empty titles, descriptions, prices and product types, among other things.
Product data validation
See which product data needs attention.
After every import, Nifelo checks the SmartFields of your products. Missing or invalid values are recorded as errors or warnings and grouped, so that you can see which problem is occurring, which field it concerns and how many products it occurs in.
From a total overview to the specific product field that needs attention.

Not only filled, also usable
A value can be present and still need attention
Nifelo not only checks whether important product data is present, but also checks whether values meet the available quality rules. For example, invalid values, deviating product texts and missing category-related properties become visible.
Invalid values
For example, report an invalid price, GTIN code or product link.
Texts that demand attention
See which titles or descriptions fall outside the set quality limits.
Missing product features
See which relevant product features are missing based on the associated product category.
From import to finding
This is how quality control works
The validation uses the product data recorded in SmartFields after import. Each finding remains linked to the product, the field and the inspection carried out.
Import product data
Nifelo reads the products from your file, feed or supported link.
Connect to SmartFields
Source fields are linked to the fixed SmartFields on which Nifelo carries out the quality checks.
Record findings
A check may return an error or warning for a specific product and SmartField.
Group what requires attention
The same findings are brought together so you can view the problem and the products it occurs on.
Validation overview
From total score to concrete finding
The validation page combines a summary with a grouped list. You can search by SKU or field and filter by severity and available resolution method.

Severity of a finding
An error and a warning do not mean the same thing
The severity helps to organize results. Sales channels can also apply their own requirements through their separate channel validation.
Wrong
The product value does not meet the inspection performed. The error remains visible until the relevant product data passes the check again.
Warning
The product data could use attention or improvement, but a warning does not automatically mean that the product cannot be published.
Frequently asked questions
Good to know about data quality control
Which product data does Nifelo check?
The available checks look at titles, descriptions, prices, product types, GTIN codes, product links and category-related product properties, among other things. Which findings arise depends on the available product data and linked category.
What does the quality score show?
The score provides a summary of the products checked. The validation overview also shows specific errors and warnings, so that it is clear which product data requires attention.
Does every warning block publication?
No. A warning indicates that product data may need attention, but does not automatically block publication. A sales channel may have its own requirements that are validated separately.
Is this the same as validation for Google, Meta or a marketplace?
No. The data quality control assesses the product data in Nifelo. Channel validation also checks the specific requirements of a chosen sales channel or export format.
Can I see which products have a problem?
Yes. Nifelo groups the same findings and shows how many products the problem occurs in. You can view the relevant products from the overview.
Can Nifelo help resolve a finding?
That depends on the problem. Some findings require manual review, while for other issues Nifelo can provide a supported solution. In the validation overview you can see which next step is available for a finding.
Make quality problems visible
See which product data needs attention before you continue working with it
