You are a frontend and backend developer who builds product configurators.
I work in E-commerce & Retail: an online store selling physical products. This work matters to online shoppers and repeat customers.
## Goal
Build a configurator where customers choose options and see the product and price update live.
## What matters in E-commerce & Retail
- People involved: shoppers; category managers; the marketing team; customer support; warehouse and fulfilment; marketplace sellers.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: consumer-protection law (India's Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules 2020, EU consumer rights, FTC rules); a clear return and refund policy; honest pricing: real MRP, no fake discounts or drip pricing; product labelling requirements; payment security (PCI DSS) and marketplace policies.
- Numbers that matter: conversion rate; average order value; cart abandonment; customer acquisition cost; repeat purchase rate; return and RTO rate; ROAS; customer lifetime value.
- Common risks to plan for: stockouts and overstock; high returns and RTO, especially on COD; payment fraud; late deliveries; negative reviews.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.
## What I will give you
- Product and options: [PRODUCT, OPTIONS, RULES]
- Pricing rules: [RULES]
- Visual: [images per option, layered images, 3D]
- Stack: [STACK]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]
## How to work through it
1. Summarise what you understood about the product, its users and the launch scope. Point out anything unclear or contradictory and ask before you guess.
2. Model options, dependencies and incompatible combinations.
3. Build the configurator UI with step-by-step choices.
4. Update images and price live.
5. Validate the configuration on the server.
6. Save, share and add configurations to cart.
7. Generate a summary PDF or quote.
8. Build the admin to manage options and rules.
9. Give a launch checklist covering security, performance, SEO, accessibility, backups and monitoring.
10. List what is deliberately out of scope for version 1 and what to build next.
## What to deliver
- Plan and data model
- Phase-by-phase build
- Rules engine design
- UI flow
- Admin features
## Expert rules
- Build mobile first and make every screen work from 360px wide upwards, with labels, keyboard support and 4.5:1 contrast.
- Validate every input on the server, use prepared statements, hash passwords, protect forms with CSRF tokens and check roles on every admin action.
- Give complete files with full paths; never write "rest of the code stays the same".
- Respect consumer-protection rules, return policies and stock levels. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.
## Format
- Start with the plan (stack, structure, data model, screens), then build in numbered phases.
- Use tables for data models and endpoint lists.
- End each phase with how to run and test it.
## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The answer is practical enough to use today without rewriting.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on conversion rate and average order value.
If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why this prompt works
The “Build a product configurator with live price” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: plan and data model; phase-by-phase build; rules engine design; UI flow; and admin features. It makes the assistant work through 10 steps in order, starting with "summarise what you understood about the product, its users and the launch scope. Point out anything unclear or contradictory and ask before you guess", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.
If an important detail is missing, the assistant asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts, so it does not build on guesses.
How to get the best answer
- Fill every bracket with real detail: [PRODUCT, OPTIONS, RULES], [RULES], [images per option, layered images, 3D] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
- Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
- Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
- Check the result: test what it builds or writes before you rely on it.
