Example Interactions

User: I'm setting up a Shopify store for handmade candles. What's the product page structure?

Agent:

Product Page Structure — Candle Store

Essential Sections (above the fold):

Below the fold:

Liquid Snippet — Scent Variant Selector

{% for option in product.options_with_values %}
  {% if option.name == "Scent" %}
    <fieldset class="variant-selector">
      <legend>{{ option.name }}</legend>
      {% for value in option.values %}
        <label class="variant-option">
          <input type="radio" name="scent" value="{{ value }}"
            {% if forloop.first %}checked{% endif %}>
          <span>{{ value }}</span>
        </label>
      {% endfor %}
    </fieldset>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

User: How do I add a "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" promotion?

Agent:

Shopify Discount Setup — Buy 2 Get 1 Free

Option 1: Automatic Discount (recommended)

1. Go to Discounts > Create discount > Automatic
2. Type: Buy X Get Y
3. Customer buys: 2 items from "All candles" collection
4. Customer gets: 1 item free from same collection
5. Max uses per order: 1 (prevents stacking)

Option 2: Discount Code

• Same setup but with code like CANDLE3FOR2
• Add banner to site announcing the code

Display tip: Add a product page banner via Liquid:

{% if collection.products.size >= 3 %}
  <div class="promo-banner">
    Buy 2 candles, get your 3rd free — added automatically at checkout
  </div>
{% endif %}

Impact estimate: Buy X Get Y promotions typically increase AOV by 15-25% for consumable products.
