How to generate a product page

Build an AI-written product page from your catalog or a product URL, choose its layout, and review it before publishing.

Written by Eddie Lavandera

By the end of this you will have a finished product page open in the Atlas editor, ready to review and publish. Generation takes about two minutes for a single product. You need a project, and a product either in your Shopify catalog or available at a URL.

In this article:


Step 1: Open the wizard

Three ways in, all reaching the same place:

  • Select Create new on the dashboard, then Product page

  • Select the Product page shortcut under Create with Atlas

The modal is titled Create your page, with three steps: Select products, Select page template, and Upload research (Optional).


Step 2: Select your project

The wizard opens on your current project. Pick another from the list, or select + Create a new project and name it. A store with no projects yet starts on Untitled project. You can have up to 25 projects; at the limit you will see You've reached the limit of 25 projects. Choose an existing project to continue.

The project supplies the customer research and saved personas Atlas writes from, described in the app as: "Select a project to publish your product page. It keeps everything organized and makes new pages easier to build, with the project's context already loaded."

Set Store language here too if your page should be written in something other than the default.

💡 If this project already has customer research and a saved persona, you will get noticeably better copy than a fresh project. Build into an established project rather than starting a new one per product.


Step 3: Add your products

Two ways, and you can combine them.

Paste a URL. Select Import from AliExpress or Amazon URL, put the product page link into Paste a product page URL and select Add product. Atlas reads the page and imports the title, description, images and price. It reads Amazon, Etsy, AliExpress and most other websites.

Use your catalog. Under Browse your Shopify products, tick the products you already sell. Search for your product narrows the list.

You can add up to 20 products in one build, catalog picks and links together.

If a URL cannot be read, its row says Couldn't import, a banner says Couldn't import one of the URLs — check the link or remove it, and Continue setup stays disabled while that product is ticked. Untick it, or remove it and paste the link again. Confirm the link opens in a normal browser tab. If it does and Atlas still cannot read it, use your catalog instead. See Why couldn't Atlas import my product URL?


Step 4: Choose a page template

The template sets the design and layout of your page.

The step is headed Select a page template: Keep the style you already have, or use a product page template designed by experts.

Your own page style. The first card, Use your own page style, let AI write the copy, keeps the look of a product template already in your theme and rewrites all the copy, so the new page matches the rest of your store. Select Use own page, then Select page (or Continue), and pick the theme in Select theme and the template in Select page template. Confirm with Use this page, or Use page and continue if you opened it with Continue.

An Atlas template. Every other card is a product page template designed by experts. Select Use template, or Preview to look first, and search them with Search templates by name & industry.

You cannot continue without choosing one. Until you do, the hint reads Pick a template — keep your own page style, or choose a pre-built one.

If Atlas cannot read your themes you will see Couldn't read your Shopify theme. Try again in a moment. Wait a moment and retry. More detail in Choosing a page template.


Step 5: Add customer research

Optional, and the step that most improves the result.

Rule

Value

Maximum size

20 MB per file

Number of files

Up to 10

Total size

50 MB

Accepted types

TXT, MD, PDF, CSV, DOCX

Once a file is uploaded, select Add files to add more, or Remove all to clear them. Each file also has its own remove button. Add files is greyed out once you have 10 files.

Files uploaded here are saved to the project and reused by future builds. Full guidance in Uploading customer research and style references.


Step 6: Check the summary and build

The Summary panel tracks your inputs throughout, each marked Selected, Added, Set or Not set. Confirm your project, products, page template and research, then start the build.

With an Atlas template, the page appears straight away and fills in as Atlas works: Researching your product…, Finding what your customers care about… and Planning your page…, then Writing your page… while the copy types in, and Finishing your page… before the editor opens. With your own page style, Atlas shows a progress screen instead: importing product data, conducting research, writing sales copy, creating the page, and finalising.

If a build cannot finish, you see Atlas couldn't finish your page. Retry, or contact support if it keeps failing.

💡 You can leave while it builds. The build runs on Atlas's servers rather than in your browser, so closing the tab or navigating away does not stop it, and the finished page is saved as a draft waiting in your dashboard. Atlas still asks you to confirm before you go, but the build continues either way.

Leaving part way through the setup, before the build starts, is different. Nothing has been built yet and the setup is not saved, so you start the wizard again when you come back.


What happens next

When the build finishes, Atlas opens the page in its editor. From there you can:

  • Review and edit any copy, section by section

  • Change the colour palette

  • Hide sections you do not want

  • Preview on desktop and mobile

  • Save as draft to finish later, which confirms Saved as draft. Find it in your pages.

  • Publish pages to put it on your store

A draft costs nothing and does not count towards your published pages allowance. A page only becomes billable when you publish it.


If the build fails

The two most common outcomes:

What you see

What to do

Generation failed with a Retry button

Select Retry. Most failures are transient.

Generation timed out. Please try again.

Try again with fewer products in one build.

Your theme has reached Shopify's 1,000-template limit. Delete templates you no longer use from this theme, then try again.

Your own theme is full. Delete unused templates from it in Shopify, then retry.
