Reorder my shop page
The top of your shop page is your shop window - and if your best work is buried three scrolls down, most visitors never see it. On a bernard-hosted site you change the order by describing it.
The prompt
“Reorder my shop page so that [the pieces you want first] appear at the top, with the rest following [newest first / by price / your preferred order].”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Tell Bernard. Log in, open your site, and describe the order you want
- or use the prompt below.
- Or use your own AI. Prefer ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? Connect it once in Use your own AI (a one-time MCP setup), then ask there - same result.
- Approve. Either way you get a preview. Check the new order reads well, press Approve, and it’s live.
You don’t need to spell out every position. Name the pieces you want at the front and the rest keep their place behind them, so “put the three new canvases at the top” is a complete instruction on its own. Until you set an order, a shop page runs alphabetically by title, and the same order is used on your collection pages and in the product feed shops like Google read. While you’re rearranging, it’s a good moment to check the first row’s photos earn their place (Use better product photos).
If reordering isn’t enough - the page is simply carrying too much - group the products into collections instead, so buyers browse by kind rather than scroll the lot (Group my products into collections).
Questions people ask
- How do I change the order of products on my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, describe the order you want - to Bernard in your dashboard, or to the AI you already use, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The entries are rearranged without changing their content, and you see a preview to approve.
- What order should products go in on a shop page?
- Lead with the work you most want to sell or be known for - visitors judge the page by its first row. Newest-first is a good default; put a particular piece at the top for an exhibition or a sale.
- What order is my shop in now, if I have never changed it?
- Alphabetical by product title. That is a starting point rather than a choice anyone made, so it is worth setting deliberately - ask what order your shop is in now and you will be told the running order a visitor sees.
- Do I have to list every product?
- No. Name the ones you want at the front and everything else keeps its current place behind them, so moving one piece to the top is a single sentence.
- What if I don’t like the new order?
- Nothing goes live until you press Approve on the preview, so just reject it and describe a different order. And bernard keeps the last 100 published versions of your site, so any published change can be put back.
- Can I drag them instead?
- Yes, on a computer - open the workshop, press on a product card and drag it to a new spot, and the rest of the row shifts to make room. Either way you still get a preview to approve before it goes live.
