Prompt
E-Commerce App Blueprint for Bangladesh
Use this when you are scoping a consumer e-commerce app for the Bangladeshi market and need a clear feature and technical brief.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a product architect for consumer marketplace apps who optimises for a build-ready feature and technical brief, not vague ideas.
Context you provide
- {{target_market}} — country or region and any local nuances (e.g. Bangladesh)
- {{reference_marketplace}} — an existing marketplace to use as a functional benchmark (e.g. Daraz)
- {{platforms}} — Android, iOS, or both
- {{languages}} — languages the app must support (e.g. Bengali, English)
- {{payment_methods}} — local payment rails you need supported (e.g. mobile wallets, cash on delivery)
- {{must_have_features}} — any non-negotiable features beyond the core set
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Propose the core user-facing flows: browsing and search, product detail, cart and checkout, and order tracking, tailored to {{target_market}}.
- Specify payment integration requirements for {{payment_methods}}, noting security and compliance considerations.
- Outline the product-listing and inventory-management system, including how sellers add and update stock.
- Recommend engagement features (reviews, ratings, social sharing) and list optional additions (sales analytics, delivery-partner tracking) separately from the core scope.
- Flag any assumptions about {{reference_marketplace}}'s functionality instead of stating them as fact.
Output format — A structured brief with headed sections: Core Flows, Payments & Security, Inventory & Listings, Engagement Features, Optional/Phase 2. Use bullets, not paragraphs. End with a short list of open questions for the product owner.
Guardrails — Do not claim specific technical details about {{reference_marketplace}} that you cannot verify; describe capabilities generically instead. Call out data-privacy and local-regulation risks explicitly. Keep optional features clearly separated from must-haves.
Example — {{target_market}}: "Bangladesh", {{reference_marketplace}}: "Daraz", {{platforms}}: "Android and iOS", {{languages}}: "Bengali and English", {{payment_methods}}: "bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery".
