How to write a product description from confirmed facts
Separate what the source visibly shows, what the seller has confirmed, and what remains unknown; write only from the first two and leave unknown details out until they are verified.
Build a fact boundary
Put each detail in one of three buckets: visible in the source, confirmed by the seller, or unknown. The first two can inform a draft; the third should remain unknown instead of being filled by a plausible guess.
- Visible: color, shape, finish, and other details a buyer can inspect in the source.
- Confirmed: details the seller has explicitly reviewed and accepted.
- Unknown: capacity, measurements, materials, certifications, or features that still need confirmation.
Answer the buyer's actual question
Lead with what the product is and what the buyer can see or reliably expect. Add context only when it describes the actual offer, and keep destination-specific fields such as price, shipping, variants, and taxonomy in their own review step.
Review before export
Read the copy beside the source and the intended destination requirements. Remove claims that cannot be defended, check that the wording still matches the selected image set, and keep the draft editable until the seller approves it.
