How the FabStitch marketplace works
The FabStitch marketplace works as a search-and-filter catalog. You describe a fibre, construction, season, weight, or use. The server returns published fabrics that match. You open a card to read the cloth, then inquire if it fits the brief.

How this uses the marketplace
Filters are calculated from the current catalog, not from a private spreadsheet. Sort and pagination stay on the marketplace URL as query states. Those filtered views are not separate indexable pages. The canonical commercial page is always /marketplace/.
What to do next
Start with one or two constraints, not ten. If the grid is empty, remove a filter. If a cloth looks right, read composition and construction on its fabric page before you write the inquiry.
Limits
The marketplace does not invent supplier certificates, prices, or shrinkage numbers that are absent from the fabric record. How it works describes the customer path. It does not add hidden services.
Using “how a fabric marketplace works” in a brief
The FabStitch marketplace works as a search-and-filter catalog. You describe a fibre, construction, season, weight, or use. The server returns published fabrics that match. You open a card to read the cloth, then inquire if it fits the brief.
How the FabStitch marketplace works stays on one question. The marketplace at /marketplace/ is still the catalog. This page does not add a price, a certificate, or a count of suppliers.
After you read the limit — The marketplace does not invent supplier certificates, prices, or shrinkage numbers that are absent from the fabric record. How it works describes the customer path. It does not add hidden services. — open a fabric page and copy the composition and construction into the inquiry. Leave GSM blank if that page does not publish weight.
Teams use this note when they need language for how a fabric marketplace works. They still have to look at the cloth. A heading is not a spec.
Questions about this step
- Do filters create new marketplace pages for Google?
- No. Filter and search states are noindex. Only the clean marketplace URL is the commercial canonical.
