Copy lets you duplicate listings across shops and platforms, or within the same shop. It’s perfect for quickly launching products to new channels or creating similar listings without starting from scratch. AI copy automatically adapts your content for each destination platform, handling SEO, formatting, and field requirements for you.

  1. From your main listings view, hover over a listing and click Copy.
  2. A menu will appear showing all shops connected to your Vela account. Select the destination shop.
  3. Choose between Standard copy and AI copy:
    • Standard copy duplicates the listing exactly as it appears.
    • AI copy automatically adapts your title, tags, and description for the destination platform’s SEO and formatting standards.
  4. The listing will appear in the Copy section of the destination shop.Each copied listing includes a status indicator:‍
    • Green means the listing is ready to publish.‍
    • Red means the listing requires additional details before it can be published.
  5. Listings marked red will display missing or invalid fields in red text at the top of the listing editor. Edit manually orse Profiles to fill in missing platform-specific fields quickly, instead of updating them one by one.
  6. When all fields are complete, select Publish or Schedule.
  7. Copied listings will display a colored dot for each connected shop in your main listing dashboard. These listings are linked and can now be edited by switching between tabs in the individual edit screen. Edits to the listing in one shop will not affect the other.

2. Use AI copy to optimize for each platform

  1. When selecting AI copy, Vela’s AI automatically reviews your original listing and rewrites your title, description, and other SEO-relevant fields (these fields differ by selling platform) to match the destination platform’s best practices.
  2. AI copy handles differences in character limits, keyword optimization, and formatting for each platform.
  3. You can preview AI-generated content directly in the copied listing before publishing.
  4. Review the output and make adjustments if desired.
  5. Once satisfied, click Save or Publish.
  6. Copied listings will display a colored dot for each connected shop in your main listing dashboard. These listings are linked and can now be edited by switching between tabs in the individual edit screen. Edits to the listing in one shop will not affect the other.
