01 · What it does

From blank product page to answered.

Six jobs, done natively in Shopify.

Generate in bulk

Pelican reads each product's title, type, description and the metafields you choose, then drafts question-and-answer pairs you accept, edit or regenerate.

Collection FAQs

Answers written from what's actually in the range: brands, product types, options and price spread. They can link to related collections too.

One shared library

Write "Do you ship internationally?" once and attach it everywhere. Edit it once, or split off a copy for one product.

Import from CSV

Already have FAQs in a spreadsheet or another app? Upload product ID, question and answer and it runs in the background.

Theme blocks

Product and collection FAQ blocks with accordion, styled or raw HTML output, and custom colours. The collection block works on any page.

Structured data

Every block emits schema.org FAQPage markup, so search engines and AI crawlers read each answer directly.

  1. Filter the sidebar to No FAQs
  2. Select a product, click Suggest FAQs
  3. Click Accept All (or pick your favourites)
  4. Done. FAQs are live on that product

Under a minute per product.

Related products

Add it once. It lands on the whole group.

Colour variants sold as separate products, the pieces of a set, the sizes of one wetsuit. They usually need the same FAQs.

  • Add an FAQ to one product and it's added to the related ones at the same moment.
  • Every related product starts selected. Click a thumbnail to leave one out.
  • They get the same FAQ, not a copy. Edit it later and it changes on all of them.
  • Each product keeps its own FAQs. Nothing is removed, reordered or added twice.
  • Set it up once: pick a product grouping metafield on the FAQ prompt, like the one Product stitching fills in.

Simple theme block

Control how it looks.

Add the Product FAQs app block to your product template in the Shopify theme editor. It pulls in whatever FAQs are assigned to that product and displays them as an accordion or text.

Use it out of the box for a clean, on-brand accordion that's already doing the AI and SEO heavy lifting in the background, or take full control of the markup and styling if your theme needs something specific.

Raw HTML output hands your theme plain h3 and p tags with no styling of Pelican's own. Your theme's CSS takes over completely.

Product FAQsTheme editor · block settings
Heading
Frequently asked questions
Set your own heading text for the block.
Output style
Styled uses Pelican's accordion look. Raw HTML outputs plain h3/p tags so your theme's CSS takes over.
Collapsible accordion layout
Turn off to show every answer expanded at once, useful if your theme already wraps the block in its own accordion.
Expand the first FAQ by default
Only applies when the accordion layout is switched on.
Custom styles
Override the theme-matched look with your own fonts, sizes and colours, without going all the way to Raw HTML.
Output FAQPage structured data (JSON-LD)
On by default. Turn off if another SEO app already adds FAQ schema, to avoid duplicate structured data.

02 · Who it helps

Built for the people who own the catalogue.

Ecommerce managers

Fewer "does it…" emails

Sizing, care, shipping and compatibility answered on the page, before the customer asks.

SEO & growth

Something for AI to quote

A question-and-answer pair is the format AI assistants most readily surface. Give them yours.

Agencies

FAQs across every client

Bulk generation and CSV import turn a week of copywriting into an afternoon of review.

Where the data goes

Each FAQ is a native Shopify faq_item metaobject, linked from the product. Uninstall Pelican and every answer stays in your store.

03 · FAQs

Questions about FAQs.

Product pages or collection pages?

Both. Product and collection FAQs share one library. Every SEO person I kept talking to was still saying FAQs are much more valuable on the collection page. Martin Cox, co-founder

Can I tell it what not to say?

Yes, in the FAQ prompt. Obviously you can tell it what it’s not allowed to say as well. Martin Cox, co-founder

Where are my FAQs stored?

In your own Shopify store, as metaobjects linked from each product or collection. They're not in Pelican's database, so they survive uninstalling the app.

How do FAQs show up on my storefront?

Add the Product FAQs block in the theme editor, usually below the description. Choose Styled or Raw HTML output, accordion on or off, and your own colours.

Does it add structured data?

Yes. The block outputs schema.org FAQPage JSON-LD by default. If another app already does, switch one of them off to avoid duplicate markup.

Can I reuse one answer across many products?

Yes. Product and collection FAQs share one library. When you edit a shared answer, you choose to update it everywhere or make a separate copy.

Can I import FAQs I've already written?

Yes. Use Import FAQs and upload a CSV with product_id, question, answer, one FAQ per row.

Will adding FAQs slow my product pages down?

No extra database calls. It's native Shopify data, so it loads the way the rest of your product page does.

Does this work with my theme?

Yes. Use Raw HTML output if you want your theme's CSS to fully control the look, or Custom Styles if you want your own fonts and colours without leaving Pelican's markup behind.

Will AI assistants actually read this?

That's the point of the FAQPage JSON-LD added automatically to every FAQ block. It's the same structured data format AI search tools and LLMs are built to parse for question-and-answer content.

“Just weaving in terms like ‘is this product good for wearing to after-work drinks’, identifying that type of search terminology.”
