How to List Products with Sensitive Content

In the world of online commerce, extra attention must be paid in the listing of products with sensitive content to ensure they are listed in the appropriate category.

Paysasa Team23 Apr 2026

In the world of online commerce, extra attention must be paid in the listing of products with sensitive content to ensure they are listed in the appropriate category. The wrong categorization of these products negatively impacts the wrong audience (Kids & teenagers & some religious settings) due to offensive language and imagery seen.

These products with sensitive content draw attention when they are not in the appropriate category, which is health and beauty (Sexual Wellness). We stand at risk of being sanctioned by the regulatory body because our code of conduct and religion do not permit inappropriate content to be displayed without restriction, however small.

The kids category should never contain products with sensitive content (whether in image or in a text) words like Sexually, sexy etc. The reputation of the business is put at risk. 

Given that prospective customers must sign in and verify age before placing an order, the health and beauty category is appropriate for sensitive products.It’s important to remember that sensitive products are susceptible to selection when listed incorrectly in random categories, aside from the health and beauty category, which is the correct category for these products.

Here is how to list products with sensitive content;

  • Right categorization: Sensitive products should be listed in the right category which is the health and beauty(Sexual Wellness) category.
  • Censoring: These product images should be censored to suppress the influence and prevent triggering customers looking to shop.

This helps limit issues of sensitive content spotted in the wrong categories on the website and on social media feeds. 

Therefore, it should be noted that products with sensitive content that are not in the right category will be deactivated because it is a turnoff for potential customers.

Get paid by M-Pesa, cards and wallets, safely.
