Build a Full Black Friday Campaign in Merchant with AI
One conversation builds the sale, the countdown timer, and the free shipping bar as one set, all left switched off until you are ready.
Prerequisites
Merchant Pro with WooCommerce on a connected site. Turn on AI write access under Merchant > Global Settings, in the WPVibe panel. That toggle only appears when the WPVibe plugin is active.
My store runs WooCommerce with Merchant Pro. Discover Merchant's abilities first. Build my full Black Friday campaign as one set and leave every piece switched off so I can review it before the sale starts. 1. A storewide sale: [percentage or amount off, for example 25% off everything], running [start date] through [end date]. 2. A countdown timer showing the sale ending on [end date], displayed on [the shop page and product pages, or wherever you want it]. 3. A free shipping bar for orders over [$50], shown on [the cart and product pages]. These are three separate Merchant modules: storewide-sale, countdown-timer, and free-shipping-progress-bar. Run merchant/list-modules first to confirm all three are available on my install, and run merchant/get-module-settings with include_schema=true on each one before you write to it. Build each piece the way that module's own contract requires. Keep the dates consistent across all three, and tell me if the end date I gave you lands in a different timezone than my store's. When everything is built, list each piece, tell me where each one will show, confirm the sale scope and the dates match across all three, and show me how to preview the whole thing. I will tell you when to switch them all on together.
Skip pasting the full prompt. Drop this into your AI on a site that already has WPVibe:
Run the “Build a Full Black Friday Campaign in Merchant with AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.
A real sale is never one setting. It is a discount, plus a reason to hurry, plus a reason to add one more item to the cart, and each of those lives in a different Merchant module on a different screen. Building them separately is how the countdown ends up set to a different date than the sale it is counting down to.
The AI builds all three as one set: the storewide sale, a countdown timer pinned to the same end date, and a free shipping bar with your threshold. It checks that each module is available on your install and reads its field contract before writing, then reports back what will show where. Everything stays switched off, so the whole campaign waits on one review instead of three.
Describe the three pieces once, then read back the scope, the placements, and the dates before you switch anything on. Dates are the thing to check. The prompt asks the AI to flag a timezone mismatch, because a sale that ends at midnight in the wrong timezone either runs short or keeps discounting after you meant it to stop. Once it is running you can ask the AI how it converted and what to change next year.
Outcome
A complete Black Friday campaign, storewide sale plus countdown timer plus free shipping bar, built in Merchant with matching dates and staged for one review before it all goes live together.
