Not accepted
Packaged or barcoded items are not valid, including:
❌ Sealed cans or bottles
❌ Wrapped snacks or pre-packaged foods
❌ Any ready-to-sell product as-is
This applies to any pre-packaged item, whether a barcode is visible or not. Photos showing a price tag or barcode — including drinks or supermarket-style products — will also be rejected.
✅ Accepted: freshly prepared dishes, plated food, unpackaged items.
Exception — venues selling only packaged products
Some venues — liquor stores, convenience stores, specialist grocers — only sell pre-packaged products. If the Merchant genuinely has no unpackaged or freshly prepared items, they can be included in the package.
To avoid your session being automatically rejected:
Add a comment on the Project page confirming the venue has no unpackaged items
Frame your shots to minimise visible price tags or barcodes where possible
