Using Description Generators

Modified on Mon, 18 May at 1:18 PM

Description Generators automate the creation of product descriptions by dynamically combining free text, random phrases, and product fields (metal purity, ring size, gemstone color, etc.).


Create a Description Template

  1. Go to Catalog → Generators → Description Templates
  2. Click Add Template
To create a template based on an existing one, use the Copy button.


Template fields

  • Template Title — name the template. Use an informative name, e.g. "Diamond Halo Engagement Rings"
  • Language — defines which system language is used when applying the template
  • Prefix— text inserted at the beginning of the generated description
    • Multiple values can be added using the | separator. On each generation, one value is picked randomly.
    • Example: Unique jewelry for all occasions. | Designer jewelry for the most demanding ones!
  • Suffix — works the same as Prefix but is inserted at the end of the description
  • Content — the main body of the description. Supports free text, HTML, and dynamic fields with conditions

To add a dynamic field to the content:

  1. Place the cursor in the content area where the field should appear
  2. Select a field from the sidebar, set its options
  3. Click Insert


Preview template

While editing the template, click Preview to see the template applied on a random product. Choose Specific product to preview on a chosen product.


Apply Description Template

  1. Go to the Catalog page and select one or more products
  2. Click System Actions → Generate Descriptions

  1. In the Generate Descriptionpopup:
    • Field — the target field for the generated content (any Text type field)
    • Template — select the description generator template
    • Language — defines the language for the target field value
    • Overwrite — when checked, overwrites existing values in the target field
  2. Check the relevant Batch to view the process status

  • Generators make it simple to create dynamic content for similar items, such as variations in size, metal, or gemstones for a single Solitaire Ring.
  • Title Generators work similarly to Description Generators but apply to title fields.
  • Leave Overwrite unchecked to skip products that already have a value in the target field.
