A Meesho supplier, an Amazon India seller and a Flipkart seller can all hand an AI model the same product sheet and get three different problems back: a title that is too long for one channel, bullets that make a claim the listing can't back up, or an image brief that breaks a rule nobody told the model about. This post gives you prompts that handle that, plus a plain statement of what I could and could not verify.
Which marketplace rules did I verify, and which did I not?
Here is the honest state as of 2026-10-09. I tried the primary pages and searched for the rules.
| Marketplace | What I tried | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon | Seller Central help page on FBA product title requirements and the Amazon India seller site | The help page returned only the Seller Central landing page to my tool. No usable title rules. The India listing page I tried returned 404. |
| Flipkart | The Seller Hub public landing page | Marketing page only, no listing guidelines. |
| Meesho | Search for Supplier Panel guidelines | Not published on the open web as far as I could find; the detailed rules sit behind the supplier login. |
So I have no primary-source numbers for title length, bullet length or image pixel size on any of these three, and I won't print them as fact. Third-party seller guides do give figures, but they disagree (for example, image minimums reported anywhere from 500 to 1500 pixels, and Amazon title lengths from about 75 to 200 characters). That disagreement is itself the finding: limits vary by category and change.
What to do: open your category's listing template or style guide inside your own seller account, copy the exact limits, and paste them into the prompts below as variables. The marketplace's own validator is the final judge, not the model.
What should I put in every listing prompt?
Three blocks: facts, limits, and prohibited claims. A model that has all three behaves; a model missing any of them improvises.
You write marketplace product listings for an Indian seller.
CHANNEL: [Amazon.in / Flipkart / Meesho]
CATEGORY: [exact category path from the listing template]
LIMITS FROM MY LISTING TEMPLATE (do not exceed):
- Title: [N] characters
- Bullet / key feature: [N] characters each, [N] bullets
- Description: [N] characters
- Search terms / keywords field: [N] bytes or characters, if any
PRODUCT FACTS (only use these):
[brand, product type, model, material, dimensions in cm, weight in g, colour, pack contents, what is NOT included, warranty period if any, country of origin, care, certifications I hold with numbers]
BANNED UNLESS IN THE FACTS:
"best", "No.1", "guaranteed", "cure", "treat", "prevent", "100% safe", "chemical free", "organic", "BIS/ISI certified", any medical, weight-loss or skin claim, competitor brand names, price or offer wording, "free delivery".
If something a buyer needs is missing from the facts, list it under QUESTIONS and do not guess.
Save this as your base block. Everything below appends a task to it. These are untested templates: I haven't run them on a live account.
How do I generate titles and bullets for Amazon India?
[BASE BLOCK]
TASK: Write 3 title options and 5 bullets.
Title pattern: Brand, product type, key attribute 1, key attribute 2, size or pack, colour. Capitalise as the marketplace style guide for my category requires (I will correct this).
Bullets: start each with a 2 to 4 word label then the fact. One idea per bullet. Use numbers with units from the facts.
After the output, give a table: item | characters | within limit yes/no. Be strict; if unsure, say so.
Model character counts are unreliable, so recount in a spreadsheet using =LEN(cell). That one habit catches most over-limit rejections before upload. For bullet writing practice and tone, see our Shopify product description prompts; the structure carries over, the field limits do not.
What changes for Flipkart and Meesho?
Differences worth encoding in the prompt, as hypotheses to confirm in your panel:
- Variant naming. Flipkart and Meesho listings are often grouped by size or colour. Ask the model for one base title plus a variant naming scheme, so each size and colour reads consistently.
- Mobile-first, price-led buyers. Many Meesho buyers browse on phones and compare on price, so the first few words and the first image carry the weight. Ask for a short title and put the key attribute early.
- Language. Regional-language buyers matter. Ask for a Hindi or other-language version only if someone who reads it will check it. Models make odd phrasing mistakes in Indian languages, particularly with product vocabulary.
- Sizing. Garments and footwear return mostly because of size. Prompt for a size chart in cm, from your measured values, not typical values.
[BASE BLOCK]
TASK: Write a short title (under the limit above) and a variant scheme.
Variants: sizes [list], colours [list].
Output: 1 base title; then a table of variant | variant title | what changes.
Add a "size and fit" note using ONLY these measurements in cm: [paste measured chart].
Can AI draft an A+ or enhanced content outline?
Yes, as an outline you fill with real assets. A+ content (Amazon's term for enhanced brand content) usually requires a professional seller account and, in many cases, an enrolled brand (Brand Registry, which often needs a trademark). Third-party sources disagree on the exact rules and I found nothing specific to amazon.in, so check eligibility in your own account first.
[BASE BLOCK]
TASK: Plan 5 content modules for enhanced product content.
For each module give: module goal, headline (max 8 words), body (max 40 words, facts only), and the image I need to shoot or commission (describe the shot, not a generated mockup).
Modules to cover: what's in the box, how it is used, size and dimensions, materials and care, a comparison with MY other products only (no competitors).
The "my other products only" rule avoids comparison claims against other brands, which are a policy and legal risk.
How do I run a compliance check on a draft listing?
Use the model as a second reader, not as an authority. It can flag phrases for you to review.
Review this draft listing against the BANNED list and the FACTS below.
DRAFT: [paste]
FACTS: [paste]
List every sentence that: (a) contains a superlative, (b) makes a health, safety, safety-certification or performance claim not in the facts, (c) names another brand, (d) mentions price, offers or shipping, (e) uses a number not in the facts.
For each, quote it, say which rule it breaks, and suggest a plain-fact replacement. If a sentence is fine, do not mention it.
Finish with: "This is a text check only, not a policy or legal review."
For categories with rules of their own (food, cosmetics, electronics with BIS marks, children's products, supplements), the relevant regulator and the marketplace's category page decide, not the model. Check with a professional where it matters. For a general habit of checking model output, see our fact-checking checklist for AI answers.
What about images?
Use AI for shot lists and checks rather than for the product itself. Third-party guides commonly report white background, high product fill and no watermarks for main images, but I could not verify the official wording, so read your marketplace's current image rules. If you edit backgrounds with AI tools, keep the product's true shape, colour and texture, because a main image that doesn't match what arrives is a returns problem long before it is a policy problem. Our AI product photo workflow and realistic product ad prompts cover how to edit without drifting from the real item.
Where does a store of your own fit in?
Marketplace fees and rules shape what you can say and how you're found. Many sellers also run their own store for repeat customers; if you do, Shopify is one option among several. Some links on this page are affiliate links; they cost you nothing and I only link tools I'd mention anyway. Shopify is worth considering mainly when you want to own customer relationships and have the time to drive your own traffic, and it is not worth it if you only have time to manage one channel. If you do open your own store, payments work differently from a marketplace, where the marketplace collects the money for you. The Shopify India payments guide covers UPI, cards and COD setup, and the abandoned cart and email prompts cover follow-up messages, with a consent section worth reading first. Check each marketplace's own seller rules before you contact any marketplace customer outside the platform. For automations around orders and support, read the ecommerce automation post for Indian Shopify sellers.
