Below is a compact, practical guide you can use to write “perfect” AI prompts for generating PrestaShop product entries, category pages and CMS pages. It contains the prompt structure, reusable templates, example prompts, desired output formats (JSON/CSV-ready) and best practices you can reuse for bulk generation. 1) The perfect prompt structure - Role and context: tell the model who it is and what the data is for (PrestaShop product/category/CMS). - Input data: give product attributes or category/CMS facts (name, specs, target audience, keywords). - Task: explicitly state outputs you want (short desc, full desc, meta title/desc, slug, tags, image alt). - Constraints: length limits, tone, SEO rules, uniqueness, allowed HTML, language, units/currency, character limits for fields. - Output format: require structured output (JSON, CSV row, or specific CSV columns matching PrestaShop import). - Example(s): give 1–2 examples of desired output or a sample row to emulate. - Extra actions: ask for alt text for images, suggested product tags, suggested categories, combinations, or internal links for CMS pages. 2) Common fields to return for PrestaShop - name - link_rewrite (SEO slug) - short_description (HTML allowed, ~150–160 chars) - description (HTML allowed, longer, 150–500+ words) - meta_title (<=70 chars) - meta_description (120–160 chars) - meta_keywords or tags (comma separated) - categories (category names or IDs) - price (currency/unit format) - wholesale_price - quantity - combinations (if any: attributes, sku, qty, price impact) - image_urls - image_alt_text (for each image) - features/specs (feature_name:value list) - visibility, condition (new/used) - active (0/1) - additional helpful: related products suggestions, cross-sell text, shipping/tax info 3) Reusable prompt templates A) Product (single) — JSON output (CSV-ready) Use this to generate one product row and structured fields. Prompt template: You are a product content writer for a PrestaShop store. Create content for one product using the data below. Produce output as a single JSON object (no extra text) with these keys exactly: name, link_rewrite, short_description, description, meta_title, meta_description, meta_keywords, categories, price, wholesale_price, quantity, image_urls, image_alt_texts, features, combinations, tags, related_products, recommended_cross_sell_text. Input data: [paste product attributes: product name, brand, model, key specs, material, size options, colors, target audience, primary keyword(s), secondary keywords, price, currency, images] Rules: - short_description: max 155 characters, no HTML tags except and
allowed. - description: 150–400 words, include 2–3 H2 headings and 1 short bullet feature list; use HTML paragraphs

and

• . - meta_title: <=70 chars; include primary keyword. - meta_description: 120–160 chars; include primary keyword and call to action. - link_rewrite: SEO-friendly lowercase hyphen slug, no special chars. - meta_keywords: 5–10 comma-separated keywords. - features: return as array of objects {name:value}. - combinations: if multiple SKUs, return array of objects {sku, attributes, quantity, price_impact}. - image_alt_texts: one alt text per image_url. - language: [specify language, e.g., English (US)]. - Tone: [e.g., friendly and professional, technical, luxury]. Example input: Name: "Atlas 3000 Waterproof Hiking Jacket" Brand: "TrailPro" Primary keyword: "waterproof hiking jacket" Secondary keywords: "breathable jacket", "men's hiking jacket" Materials: "GoreTex membrane", sizes: S,M,L,XL; colors: green, black Price: 129.99 USD Quantity: 120 Images: [list of urls] Return only valid JSON. B) Category page Prompt template: You are an SEO/content writer for a PrestaShop category page. Create content for the category using the data below. Output JSON exactly with keys: name, link_rewrite, short_description, description, meta_title, meta_description, suggested_subcategories, image_alt_text. Input: Category name, target audience, top keywords, number of featured products to highlight, tone, language, product types included, any brand focus. Rules: - short_description <=160 chars. - description 120–400 words with at least one H2 and 3 bullet points describing what customers will find. - meta fields within SEO length limits. - suggest 3–8 logical subcategories (names only). C) CMS page (About, Shipping, Returns, FAQ) Prompt template: You are writing a PrestaShop CMS page (type: About/Shipping/Returns/FAQ). Output JSON exactly with keys: title, meta_title, meta_description, language, html_body, suggested_internal_links (array of URLs or anchor texts). Input: page type, policies/rules to include (shipping windows, return period), legal requirements, tone, primary CTA, internal pages to link to. Rules: - html_body: full HTML content ready to paste into PrestaShop, use headings

  /

  , paragraphs, lists, a clear call-to-action (e.g., "Contact us" or "View collection"), include an FAQ section if applicable. - meta lengths as above. - Make content unique and non-copy-paste from competitors; avoid legal advice disclaimers unless requested. 4) Examples (filled-in) Example product prompt (concise): You are a PrestaShop product copywriter. Create a product JSON for: Name: "Lumen X200 LED Desk Lamp" Brand: "BrightWork" Primary keyword: "LED desk lamp", secondary: "adjustable desk lamp", "dimmable lamp" Key specs: dimmable, touch control, 3 color temperatures, USB charging port, 18W, 2-year warranty Target audience: home office workers, students Price: 49.95 USD Quantity: 250 Images: https://example.com/img1.jpg, https://example.com/img2.jpg Tone: modern, helpful, concise Return JSON with keys: name, link_rewrite, short_description, description, meta_title, meta_description, meta_keywords, categories, price, quantity, image_urls, image_alt_texts, features, tags. Follow the constraints described earlier. Output only JSON. Example expected snippet of JSON output (structure — not all fields shown): { "name": "Lumen X200 LED Desk Lamp", "link_rewrite": "lumen-x200-led-desk-lamp", "short_description": "Adjustable 18W LED desk lamp with touch dimmer, 3 color temps and USB charging — ideal for home offices.", "meta_title": "Lumen X200 LED Desk Lamp — Dimmable, USB Charging", "meta_description": "Brighten your workspace with the Lumen X200 — 3 color temps, touch dimmer, USB port. Free 2-year warranty.", "price": "49.95 USD", "quantity": 250, "image_urls": ["https://example.com/img1.jpg","https://example.com/img2.jpg"], "image_alt_texts":["Lumen X200 side view","Lumen X200 showing color temperatures"], "features":[{"Power":"18W"},{"Controls":"Touch dimmer"},{"Warranty":"2 years"}], "tags":"LED desk lamp,dimmable desk lamp,USB desk lamp", "categories":["Home & Office > Lighting > Desk Lamps"] } 5) Output formats to ask for - Single JSON object (best for API integration). - JSON array (for a batch of products). - CSV row: ask model to output a single CSV row in the column order you will import. Provide the exact column headers in the prompt. - Markdown table only if you visually want to inspect outputs, but not for import. - Ask for pre-escaped CSV values if fields contain commas or newlines (wrap with quotes). 6) SEO & content rules to include in prompt - Use primary keyword within meta_title, meta_description and H1/H2. - Short description: keep to ~150 chars; meta_description: 120–160 chars. - Avoid keyword stuffing; be natural. - Provide unique content across similar SKUs (append variation-specific features). - Keep HTML safe: PrestaShop allows HTML in description; specify allowed tags (

    ). - For multilingual stores, request content in the target language and localized units/currency. 7) Best practices and tips - Provide a template CSV header and request the model to output a single CSV row matching it. That makes bulk import easier. - For bulk generation: give a consistent template and vary only the attributes; use model temperature low (0–0.3) for deterministic outputs. - Validate slugs (link_rewrite) and avoid duplicates. - For combinations, provide attribute sets and ask for SKU patterns. - Preserve legal/regulated terms accurately (e.g., medical claims). - Add “Do not output anything except the JSON/CSV row” to avoid extra commentary. - For iterative refinement: ask the model to produce 3 headline/meta_title variants and choose one. - If you use the responses directly in PrestaShop, ensure HTML output is sanitized/validated first. 8) Example CSV header you can paste into a prompt id;active;name;categories;price;wholesale_price;quantity;condition;visibility;description_short;description;meta_title;meta_description;meta_keywords;link_rewrite;image_urls;tags;features;combinations Then ask: “Produce one CSV line that matches the header above. Wrap fields containing commas or newlines in double quotes. Output only the CSV row.” 9) Common prompt pitfalls to avoid - Vague target audience or tone. - Not specifying output format (model returns free text). - Forgetting length limits for meta fields and description. - Not providing keywords or letting the model guess. - Not asking for unique content for similar SKUs. 10) Quick “copy/paste” perfect product prompt You can paste this and fill placeholders: You are an expert PrestaShop product copywriter. Create content for one product using these inputs: - Name: {NAME} - Brand: {BRAND} - Key specs: {SPECS} - Sizes/colors/combinations: {COMBINATIONS} - Primary keyword: {PRIMARY_KEYWORD} - Secondary keywords: {SECONDARY_KEYWORDS} - Price: {PRICE} {CURRENCY} - Quantity: {QUANTITY} - Images: {IMG_URLS} - Tone: {TONE} Produce output as a single JSON object (no explanation) with keys: name, link_rewrite, short_description, description, meta_title, meta_description, meta_keywords, categories, price, wholesale_price, quantity, image_urls, image_alt_texts, features, combinations, tags, related_products. Rules: - short_description ≤155 chars (no unsupported HTML) - description 150–400 words, use

    ,

    • - meta_title ≤70 chars, meta_description 120–160 chars - link_rewrite is SEO-friendly slug - features as array of {name:value}; combinations array as {sku, attributes, quantity, price_impact} Return only valid JSON. If you want, paste a product entry now and I’ll produce the JSON/CSV row ready to import into PrestaShop (or produce 10 product descriptions in one batch).
