I operate a dropshipping store and need a practical prompt pack for my day-to-day work. Build 8 separate copy-paste prompts tailored to my situation, not generic ecommerce advice. Store context: [STORE AND NICHE] Products and suppliers: [PRODUCT AND SUPPLIER DETAILS] Customer and market: [TARGET CUSTOMER AND MARKETS] Brand rules: [BRAND VOICE AND CLAIM RESTRICTIONS] Current priorities: [CURRENT GOALS AND PROBLEMS] Create one prompt each for: 1) product opportunity screening, 2) supplier due diligence, 3) product-page copy, 4) paid-ad angle development, 5) customer-service replies, 6) return or delivery-delay handling, 7) weekly performance diagnosis, and 8) competitor research. Each prompt must be written as if I am speaking to you. Include only the inputs that task needs, clear output instructions, and decision criteria. For product screening, require demand evidence, landed cost, shipping-time risk, return risk, policy restrictions, and margin assumptions. For supplier review, cover sample quality, tracking, fulfillment location, stock reliability, branding options, and dispute handling. For product and ad copy, prohibit unverified outcomes, fake scarcity, medical claims, and competitor trademarks. For support prompts, preserve goodwill without promising refunds, delivery dates, or exceptions I have not authorized. Format the answer as a table with task, copy-paste prompt, required inputs, and a short note on when to use it. Keep each prompt between 90 and 160 words. Before answering, check that every prompt uses my stated constraints and does not tell me to invent reviews, test results, supplier facts, or performance data. Flag any task where legal, platform, product-safety, or tax advice needs a qualified professional.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [STORE AND NICHE] | Describe your store, product category, selling channels, and approximate order volume. | HarborPup, Shopify store selling travel accessories for dog owners in the US and Canada; 35 orders per week. |
| [PRODUCT AND SUPPLIER DETAILS] | List the main products, supplier locations, costs, shipping estimates, and known issues. | Collapsible silicone dog bowl from a Shenzhen supplier, $3.40 unit cost, 8-14 day US shipping, no branded packaging. |
| [TARGET CUSTOMER AND MARKETS] | Describe the buyer, countries served, price range, and major alternatives they consider. | Apartment-dwelling dog owners aged 25-45 in the US and Canada; $19-$35 accessories; compares Amazon and pet chains. |
| [BRAND VOICE AND CLAIM RESTRICTIONS] | State your tone, approved claims, prohibited claims, and platform or category rules. | Practical and warm; do not claim products prevent illness or are indestructible; no countdown timers or unsupported discounts. |
| [CURRENT GOALS AND PROBLEMS] | List the outcomes you need and the operational or marketing problems you are facing. | Improve product-page conversion, reduce where-is-my-order tickets, and find a second product with a 60% gross-margin target. |
How to use
- Paste the full prompt and replace each bracket with facts from your store.
- Start with the three prompts tied to your current bottleneck, then save the useful ones in your operating notes.
- Check supplier, delivery, margin, and policy statements against your actual records before using them.
- Follow up with: “Rewrite prompt 5 for our most common complaint: packages arriving after 12 days.”
Variations
Product-page audit
Use this when an existing listing gets traffic but converts poorly.
I need an audit of this dropshipping product page: [PRODUCT PAGE COPY]. My product facts are [VERIFIED PRODUCT FACTS], the buyer is [TARGET CUSTOMER], and the main objections are [OBJECTIONS]. Return a revised page with headline, benefit bullets, specifications, shipping note, FAQ, and CTA. Separate verified facts from suggested positioning. Do not add medical, durability, delivery, or review claims that my facts do not support. End with five tests I can run without changing the product.
Supplier scorecard
Use this before adding a supplier or replacing one.
Compare these potential dropshipping suppliers: [SUPPLIER OPTIONS] for [PRODUCT]. My target markets and delivery standard are [MARKETS AND SHIPPING STANDARD]; my acceptable landed cost is [COST TARGET]. Create a weighted scorecard covering sample quality, unit economics, stock visibility, fulfillment origin, tracking, defect handling, communication, branding, and return process. Identify the exact questions I should ask each supplier. Mark unknowns as unknown; do not infer reliability from marketplace ratings alone.
Support response library
Use this to draft consistent replies for frequent customer tickets.
Create a customer-support response library for a dropshipping store. Our policies are [POLICIES], our delivery estimates are [DELIVERY ESTIMATES], and recurring ticket types are [TICKET TYPES]. Write ready-to-send replies for each ticket type in [BRAND VOICE]. Include a first response, an escalation trigger, and wording to avoid. Do not promise a refund, replacement, carrier outcome, or delivery date unless it is explicitly allowed by my policies.
Tips
- Calculate landed cost using product, shipping, payment fees, likely refund cost, and taxes where applicable; a low supplier price alone does not show margin.
- Treat supplier delivery estimates as unverified until you have recent tracking data for the same destination and service level.
- Keep a written claims register for every product so ads and listings do not drift into unsupported health, safety, or performance promises.
- Have the AI identify unknowns in supplier research instead of filling gaps with marketplace descriptions or reviews.
FAQ
Can Claude find winning dropshipping products for me?
It can organize research criteria and assess evidence you provide, but it cannot verify current demand, supplier inventory, or ad performance without reliable data.
Can I use AI-written product claims?
Only use claims you can substantiate. This matters especially for health, safety, cosmetic, child, and pet products.
Should I give the prompt my supplier link?
A link can help with product details, but add your own confirmed cost, shipping, and policy information because supplier listings can be incomplete or outdated.
