Need expert implementation?
Hire an OrchestratorConnect with a certified Prompt.Doctor Orchestrator to deploy this framework for you.
You will build two connected platforms in Airo: a Merchant Operations Dashboard and a Client Storefront. AI handles product sourcing, copywriting, and order automation. Follow the stages in order.
Purchase & download the framework
Click the buy button on this page. After checkout, go to the and hit Download .zip. Unzip it — you'll get a .md file (all 64 prompts) and a .pdf reference guide. Keep both open alongside Alibaba.com and your Airo builder window.
Run the Alibaba Sourcing Pipeline first — before building anything
Go to the and open the Alibaba Product Sourcing & Supplier Vetting Pipeline module. Fill in your [PRODUCT NICHE], [TARGET RETAIL PRICE], and [DESTINATION MARKET] — then run it in GPT-4. You need vetted suppliers and confirmed margins before building your store. Do not skip this step.
Validate margins — confirm ≥ 40% gross margin before proceeding
Run the AI Product Research & Margin Calculator prompts with your Alibaba quotes. The calculator includes freight, import duties, platform fees, and a returns reserve — this is your true landed cost. If margin is below 40%, either negotiate the supplier price (use the Negotiation Library prompts) or choose a different product. Only proceed once you have a green-lit product.
Build the Merchant Operations Dashboard in Airo
Open Airo and start a new project. Go to the and copy the Merchant Dashboard Orchestrator Prompt. Paste it into the Airo chat. It will scaffold your full operations hub — supplier directory, inventory sync, order management queue, profit analytics, and AI automation controls — automatically. This is your private backend.
Build the Client Storefront in the same Airo project
In the same Airo project, copy the Client Storefront Orchestrator Prompt from the and paste it into the Airo chat. It builds your branded customer-facing store — product pages, cart, checkout, and a self-service order tracking portal. The storefront and merchant dashboard share the same database, so orders flow automatically between them.
Stage 5 — STAGE_5: growth_engine → SubscriberAcquisition
Go to the , filter to STAGE_5: growth_engine → SubscriberAcquisition, and fill in every [BRACKET] with your business details. The output goes directly into your Airo project and business operations workflow.
Launch checklist before going live
Before publishing: order samples from your top 2 suppliers, verify product quality, confirm Trade Assurance is active on all supplier contracts, set up Stripe on your storefront, configure low-stock reorder triggers in the Merchant Dashboard, and run a test order end-to-end. See the full .

6 promptsWrite a monthly theme reveal email for a subscription box. Box name: [BOX NAME]. Niche: [NICHE: e.g., self-care, cooking, outdoor adventure, book lovers]. This month's theme: [THEME NAME]. 3 hero products being included: [PRODUCT 1], [PRODUCT 2], [PRODUCT 3]. Subscriber segment: [ALL / PREMIUM / STANDARD]. Email structure: (1) Subject line (create 3 options — curiosity, benefit, and theme-forward), (2) Preview text (complements subject, 40-50 chars), (3) Opening hook (theme reveal — build anticipation, 2-3 sentences), (4) Product spotlight (each product: name, why it was chosen, how to use it — 3-4 sentences each), (5) This month's challenge or ritual (one thing subscribers can do with their box), (6) CTA (share your unboxing — UGC prompt). Tone: warm, excited, like a friend sharing something they love.
Write a 3-email cancellation save sequence for a subscription box. Box name: [BOX NAME]. Niche: [NICHE]. Cancellation reason selected: [REASON: e.g., too expensive, not using it, getting too much stuff, moving]. Email 1 (immediate — sent when cancel button clicked): Acknowledge their reason, offer a relevant alternative (pause, skip, downgrade), make it easy to stay without feeling pressured. Email 2 (24 hours later — if still cancelled): Share what they'll miss next month (tease next theme), offer a one-time discount to stay. Email 3 (7 days later — win-back): "We miss you" — share community highlights, offer a comeback deal. Each email: subject line, preview text, body (150-200 words), single CTA. Tone: warm, not desperate. Never guilt-trip.
