Preparing a product category expansion for merchant account review

Compare the new category with the active catalog

Prepare a current and proposed product list by category. Identify the intended buyer, how the product is described, how it will be sold, and what changes in order value, delivery, or support. Include the domains where the new category will appear.

Gather records that make the proposal reviewable

• Prepare representative product pages or a reviewable preview that matches the planned launch.
• Identify changes to purchase policies and expected order handling.
• Show the expected share of monthly card volume from the new category.
• Explain which materials are final and which details are still being confirmed.

Keep launch status explicit

Check the account terms and send the requested materials for review when applicable. Record the decision and any restrictions. Give the team one written release decision so a product listing, shopping feed, or invoice template does not go live ahead of the approved plan.
