Requesting New Category Approvals on Target+
When selling on Target+, it’s important to ensure that your products are correctly mapped to the appropriate Item Types. If you plan to list products in a new category that is not currently approved for your account, you’ll need to submit a request for approval. Follow the steps below to check your current approved categories and request additional ones.
1. Check Your Approved Item Types
Before submitting a request, verify whether your desired item type is already approved for your account:
Log in to your Target+ Admin portal.
Navigate to Partner Settings.
Click on Item Listings Settings.
Review the list of approved Item Types for your account.
If you find the item type you need on this list, you’re already authorized to list products under that category and no further action is needed.
2. Submit a Request for New Category Approval
If your desired item type is not listed under your approved categories, you’ll need to request approval through Target+ Support:
From the Target+ Admin portal, go to Support.
Select Open Cases.
Create a New Support Case.
In your request, provide the following details:
The exact item type or category name you wish to add.
A brief description of the products you intend to list.
Any additional information that may help the support team evaluate your request (e.g. sample SKUs, product images, brand details).
3. Await Response from Target+ Support
Once your case is submitted:
The Target+ support team will review your request.
You may be contacted for further clarification or additional information.
You’ll receive confirmation when your new category is approved, or guidance if your request cannot be accommodated.
