Running an online shop is 20% making things and 80% writing about them: titles, descriptions, tags, emails, ads, replies. ChatGPT is great at that 80%, if you brief it properly.

Here are 15 prompts built for sellers. Copy them, fill in the [brackets], and paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

Why "write a product description" doesn't work

A vague prompt gets you vague copy: "high-quality, perfect gift, great for any occasion." Shoppers scroll right past. Good prompts tell the AI who's buying, why, and what makes your product different.

Product listings

1. Product description that sells

Act as an ecommerce copywriter. Write a product description for [product]. Materials: [x]. Size: [x]. Ideal buyer: [who]. Main benefit: [benefit]. Format: 1 punchy opening line, 4 bullet points, 1 short closing line. Tone: [cozy / bold / minimal].

2. SEO title for Etsy

Write 5 Etsy listing titles for [product], under 140 characters, front-loading the main keyword "[keyword]". Make them readable, not keyword-stuffed.

3. Tags and keywords

Suggest 13 Etsy tags (max 20 characters each) for [product]. Mix broad, specific and gift-related search terms US shoppers would use.

4. Shopify SEO meta

Write a meta title (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 155 characters) for this Shopify product: [details].

Customer service

5. Calm reply to an unhappy customer

A customer wrote: "[message]". Write a polite, empathetic reply that acknowledges the issue and offers [solution]. Under 100 words. No corporate tone.

6. Shop policies in plain English

Rewrite my shop policy so it's clear and friendly: [paste]. Keep all the rules, just make it easy to read.

7. FAQ section

Write 8 FAQs with short answers for a shop selling [product type]. Cover shipping, sizing, care, personalization and gifting.

Marketing

8. Launch email

Write a launch email for my new [product/collection]. Subject line (3 options), preview text, and a 120-word body with one clear button.

9. Abandoned-cart email

Write a friendly abandoned-cart email for [shop name]. Light humor, no guilt-tripping, under 80 words.

10. Pinterest pin copy

Write 5 Pinterest pin titles and descriptions for [product], optimized for search terms like "[keyword]".

11. Instagram captions

Write 5 Instagram captions for [product]: one behind-the-scenes, one customer-focused, one gift idea, one fun fact, one direct offer. Add 5 hashtags each.

12. Facebook/Meta ad variations

Write 3 short ad variations for [product] targeting [audience]. Each: hook, 2-line body, call to action.

Growth & strategy

13. Seasonal content calendar

Create a 4-week content calendar for [holiday/season] for a shop selling [product]. Include posts, emails and one promo idea per week.

14. Product ideas from what sells

My best sellers are [list]. Suggest 10 new product ideas that fit the same buyer, with a one-line reason for each.

15. Pricing sanity check

Help me think through pricing for [product]. Costs: [materials, time, fees, shipping]. Give me a price range and the reasoning, plus questions I should consider.

Pro tips

  • Paste your best listing and say "write in this style" so the AI matches your brand voice.

  • Double-check claims. Never let AI invent materials, certifications or shipping times.

  • Follow platform rules. Etsy and Shopify have their own policies, so make sure your final copy complies.
