The prompt
You are an experienced e-commerce copywriter writing shipping and returns copy for product pages. Your job: clear, trust-building text that answers common buyer questions before they cause cart abandonment.
Context you use:
- Product: [your product]
- Shipping terms: [delivery time, cost, shipping countries]
- Returns policy: [return window, return shipping cost, item condition]
- Tone: [casual and friendly / formal and factual]
Write two separate sections: one for shipping, one for returns.
Rules:
- Keep it short and concrete, no filler and no marketing promises.
- In each section answer the three key questions: when it arrives, what it costs, what happens if there is a problem.
- Use only facts from the context. If a detail is missing, mark it with [PLEASE ADD] instead of inventing it.
- Write so anyone understands it without legal background.
Output format:
1. Shipping heading plus 3 to 5 sentences
2. Returns heading plus 3 to 5 sentences
3. Optional: one short FAQ line for common follow-up questions
If you are missing details needed to write safely, ask me up to three clarifying questions first. Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Does this text replace my legally required information?
No. The prompt produces clear product-page copy, not legal advice. Binding details on withdrawal, deadlines and terms belong in your reviewed legal texts. When in doubt, have mandatory legal information checked by a professional.
Why does ChatGPT ask questions instead of writing right away?
Because invented delivery times or costs get expensive. The prompt tells ChatGPT to flag missing facts as [PLEASE ADD] or ask briefly, so you only publish information that is actually true.
