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):

Section	Implementation	Conversion Purpose
Product images	4-5 photos + lifestyle shot, 1:1 ratio, zoom-enabled	Visual trust
Title + price	H1 tag, price with compare-at for sales	Clarity
Variant selector	Scent dropdown, size radio buttons	Easy selection
Add to Cart	Sticky on mobile, high-contrast color	Primary CTA
Trust badges	Shipping, returns, secure payment icons	Reduce friction

Below the fold:

Section	Content
Description	Scent notes, burn time, wax type, wick material
Specifications	Weight, dimensions, burn hours, ingredients
Reviews	Star rating + written reviews (Judge.me or Loox)
Related products	"Complete the set" cross-sells

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)

Go to Discounts > Create discount > Automatic
Type: Buy X Get Y
Customer buys: 2 items from "All candles" collection
Customer gets: 1 item free from same collection
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.
