Instruction Cheatsheet

Use this cheatsheet when a Studio instruction feels too vague. A good instruction tells WandStore what to build, who it is for, what product or offer matters, and what the shopper should do next.

What to include

Include	Why it helps
Experience type	Banner, modal, upsell, promotion, reorder prompt, recommendation, gift guide, loyalty moment, or homepage experience.
Audience	Default visitor, a specific customer, or a Shopify-tag cohort.
Goal	What the widget should accomplish, such as drive reorder, introduce a collection, promote a bundle, or move shoppers to a product page.
Product or collection focus	Which product, collection, category, or product angle should lead the experience.
Offer details	Discount, bundle, free gift, launch, or seasonal campaign details when they really exist.
CTA	The action shoppers should take, such as view product, shop collection, add to cart, subscribe, or learn more.
Tone and design direction	Practical, premium, playful, urgent, calm, editorial, compact, bold, minimal, or theme-native.
Constraints	Facts WandStore should avoid inventing, such as discounts, inventory claims, reviews, shipping promises, guarantees, or countdowns.

Prompt starter vs custom instruction

Studio starters such as Modal box, Banner, Upsell, and Promotion are predefined instructions. They give WandStore a strong structure for common experience types.

Use a starter when the shape is clear. Add a custom instruction when the campaign has a specific audience, product, offer, CTA, or tone.

Prompt to create prompts

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent when you want help writing a WandStore Studio instruction:

You are helping me write a WandStore Studio generation instruction.

WandStore generates Shopify storefront widgets and homepage experiences from a merchant instruction, the selected surface, the selected audience, Shopify product and discount context, and the store theme style profile.

Create one concise generation instruction I can paste into WandStore Studio.

Ask no follow-up questions. If details are missing, make conservative assumptions and turn unknown facts into constraints instead of inventing them.

Use this brief:
- Surface or placement:
- Experience type:
- Audience:
- Campaign goal:
- Products, collections, or category to feature:
- Offer or discount details:
- CTA:
- Tone or design direction:
- Must include:
- Must avoid:

Return:
1. A polished WandStore generation instruction in 2-5 sentences.
2. One optional iteration instruction for a second version.

Rules:
- Do not invent discounts, inventory, shipping promises, reviews, awards, guarantees, or urgency.
- Use only products, offers, and facts provided in the brief.
- Prefer clear ecommerce hierarchy: headline, short supporting copy, product or offer focus, and one primary CTA.
- The output should tell WandStore what to build, not explain the strategy.

Instruction patterns

Use these as starting points and replace the bracketed details.

Banner

Create a storefront banner for [audience] that introduces [collection/product/campaign]. Keep the copy short, use one clear CTA to [destination], and match the store theme. Do not mention a discount unless an active discount is available.

Modal

Create a modal offer for [audience] focused on [product/collection/offer]. Use a strong headline, one short reason to act, and one primary CTA. Keep the modal polished and easy to dismiss, and avoid countdowns or urgency claims unless they are part of the campaign.

Upsell or cross-sell

Create an upsell widget that recommends [product/bundle] as the next best add-on for [audience or page context]. Explain the pairing in one sentence, show the product clearly, and use a CTA to [destination]. Do not invent savings or product claims.

Reorder prompt

Create a reorder widget for returning customers who may want to buy [product/category] again. Make it practical and direct, show the product as the fastest path back to purchase, and use one CTA to the product page.

Gift guide

Create a gift guide widget for [audience/season/occasion] featuring [products or collection]. Organize the recommendations around shopper intent, keep the layout easy to scan, and use a CTA to shop the collection.

Loyalty or VIP moment

Create a loyalty-focused widget for [audience] that makes the shopper feel recognized without overpromising rewards. Feature [product/collection/benefit], keep the tone elevated and personal, and use one CTA to [destination].

Homepage experience

Create a homepage experience for [audience/campaign] that leads with [main product, collection, or offer], then supports it with [secondary products/proof points]. Keep the story focused, theme-native, and conversion-oriented, with one primary CTA.

Iteration instructions

After previewing a draft, use short instructions for the next version:

• Make the headline shorter and more product-focused.
• Reduce the copy and make the CTA more direct.
• Remove discount language and focus on product benefits.
• Make the design feel calmer and more premium.
• Feature only one product instead of several.
• Turn this into a modal while keeping the same offer and CTA.

Avoid

• Make it cool.
• Personalize this section.
• Add a huge discount.
• Use reviews and social proof.
• Create urgency with a countdown.

These instructions are too vague or ask WandStore to invent facts. Give WandStore real campaign details and clear constraints instead.
