📌 What Are Prompt Templates?
Prompt Templates are a powerful customization feature available on the Pro Plus Plan in BETA. They let you create specific instructions that guide how the AI writes each part of your listing—like the title, color, description, and more.
By setting up these templates, you’ll save time, reduce editing, and get better, more accurate results from Listing Assistant.
✅ Why Use Prompt Templates?
Prompt Templates help you:
✔ Maintain a consistent voice across all your listings
✔ Optimize listings for searchability and marketplace rules
✔ Match output to specific product categories (e.g., jeans, shoes, vintage)
✔ Save time by reducing the need to edit AI results
✔ Reduce errors by enforcing structure and word limits

🧱 Template Fields + Best Instruction Examples
Each Prompt Template includes a set of customizable fields. These fields guide how the AI writes specific listing details.
Use the examples below to write clear, specific prompts for each field.
🏷️ Title
What it does: Creates a short, keyword-rich title
Best Practice: Keep it under the character limit and focus on important details
✅ Do This:
“Write a professional title under 80 characters. Include brand, item type, color, and material or style. Do not end with punctuation.”
❌ Avoid:
Adjectives like “gorgeous” or “awesome”
Using sentence case or punctuation
💡 You can also set a specific title length: 60, 80, or 140 characters. For example: “Set title length to 120–140 characters.”
🎨 Color
What it does: Describes the item's primary and accent colors
Best Practice: Use basic, standard color names in order of visibility
✅ Do This:
“Start with the primary color, then add secondary or accent colors. Use standard terms like 'navy blue' or 'dark green'.”
❌ Avoid:
Creative color names like “sunset coral” unless it’s printed on the label
Mentioning condition or material in this field
🧵 Material
What it does: Lists what the item is made of
Best Practice: Be specific and include why the materials matter (if applicable)
✅ Do This:
“List all materials used. Include purpose if known (e.g., ‘cotton for softness,’ ‘spandex for stretch’). Separate with commas.”
❌ Avoid:
Vague terms like “high-quality fabric”
Including measurements or size info here
📏 Size
What it does: Provides dimensions or size
Best Practice: Use inches and label each measurement clearly
✅ Do This:
“List Height x Width x Depth in inches. Label each part (e.g., 'Height: 8 in').”
❌ Avoid:
Fit descriptions like “loose” or “relaxed” unless it's a wearable item
Using S/M/L sizing unless the item is clothing
🏭 Brand
What it does: Identifies the brand or manufacturer
Best Practice: Only use what’s actually printed on the label or packaging
✅ Do This:
“Include the brand name, manufacturer, and where it was made if visible on the tag or box.”
❌ Avoid:
Making up a brand if it’s not known
Including brand stories or opinions
📝 Description
What it does: Writes a full product description for marketplaces
Best Practice: Write in full sentences and focus on facts
✅ Do This:
“Write a professional product description for eBay, Etsy, and Poshmark. Include features, size, materials, and condition. Use full sentences. Avoid emojis and hashtags.”
❌ Avoid:
Slang or overly casual language (unless using a casual tone)
Adding selling policies like “returns accepted” unless specified
💡 Subsections: You can choose to enable or disable the following:
Summary
Features (bulleted)
Measurements
Condition
🔑 Keywords
What it does: Creates tags for search engines, especially Etsy
Best Practice: Use short, unique, and highly relevant tags
✅ Do This:
“List 13–15 tags. Each should be 15–20 characters. Prioritize search terms based on product type and style.”
❌ Avoid:
Repeating similar words (e.g., “leather purse” and “leather bag”)
Adding punctuation or filler words like “the,” “and,” or “with”
🔎 Condition Notes
What it does: Highlights condition details if available
Best Practice: Only include condition if it’s visible or confirmed
✅ Do This:
“Include clear signs of condition like stains, fading, or if new with tags. Use short, honest statements.”
❌ Avoid:
Making assumptions about the condition
Vague language like “looks good” without evidence
⚠️ Note: AI will only generate condition notes if it can detect condition from the images or existing data.
🧰 Prompt Writing Best Practices
✅ Do This:
Use clear, direct language
Focus on one topic per field
Use standard punctuation only (periods, commas, dashes)
Mention the target platform when helpful
Example: “Write a description for eBay, Etsy, and Poshmark.”
❌ Avoid This:
Giving multiple instructions in one field (e.g., “Title, Color, and Material”)
Using emojis or decorative symbols like
&,%,*,✨Writing in ALL CAPS (unless it’s a brand name)
Writing vague instructions like “Make it good” or “Just write it”
