⚠ Product indexation limit
Each product detail field is limited to 2,000 characters. Beyond that, the content is truncated but the product remains indexed.
The total volume of product information (standard fields + product detail fields) is limited to 32,000 characters. Beyond that, the product is not indexed.
2 or 3 product detail fields filled to 2,000 characters are no issue. With 20 fields, you exceed the 32,000-character limit and the product is no longer indexed. Therefore, limit the number of large product detail fields.
