When managing large-scale commercial orders through MuleBuy, precise product identification isn't just helpful—it's essential. This tutorial provides exact formatting standards to eliminate communication gaps between procurement teams and suppliers.
Essential Link Components

2. Specification Documentation
Include critical specs even if listed on product page—this confirms you've verified requirements.
- Exact model number
- Color/finish specifications
- Size/dimensions
- Material composition
- Certification requirements
3. Quantity Breaks
Specify how pricing changes at different quantity thresholds for accurate bulk quoting.
