AI Product Description Generator for Cdiscount | The Complete Guide

A step-by-step workflow for automating your Cdiscount product content, from data export to final import.

The Content Scaling Challenge on Cdiscount

The Manual Content Bottleneck: Filling out product names, long descriptions, bullet points, and SEO fields by hand in Seller Zone quickly turns into a time sink. Many merchants have catalogs with thousands of SKUs, and copying information cell by cell leaves teams stuck in spreadsheets instead of focusing on sales and customer service.

Why Poor Product Data Hurts Sales: Shallow or inconsistent listings drop to the bottom of Cdiscount search results, produce fewer clicks, and trigger customer questions that slow support. The result is lower conversion rates and a weaker brand impression compared with sellers who publish rich, keyword-ready French content.

Common AI Solutions for Cdiscount (And Why They Don't Scale)

Method A: The Native Tool (e.g., Simple Text Boxes in Seller Zone)

Convenient for one, impossible for one thousand.

Seller Zone lets you type or paste content directly into each field, but that works only when you have a handful of listings. Once the catalog grows, you need a way to update titles, bullet points, and descriptions in bulk. The native interface offers no bulk AI generation, no version control, and no way to reuse prompts across offers.

Method B: The Integrated Plugin

Better, but still traps your data and limits your workflow.

Many sellers rely on external writing platforms like Jasper or Copy.ai. They can create solid copy, yet you still have to copy-paste every output back into your spreadsheet or Seller Zone template. These single-purpose tools don’t understand Cdiscount’s column names, so you spend extra time matching fields and adjusting French accents before every upload.

The Universal Problem: A Content Dead End

Even if these tools generate good content for Cdiscount, they create a major roadblock. The content is now trapped. If you want to sell the same products on Amazon, OTTO, or another marketplace, you can’t reuse that work. Each system has different data requirements, and these platform-locked tools cannot format your content for other destinations. This forces you to start from scratch for every new channel and stalls your growth.

The Scalable Workflow: A Content Pipeline with Conbase.ai

Moving Beyond Platform-Lock: Conbase.ai uses a simple pattern: export your catalog, enrich the data in bulk, then import it back. Because everything happens in a spreadsheet, you stay in control of every column and can reuse the same file for other channels.

Your Data, Your Rules: Working directly with a CSV in Conbase.ai means you decide which fields feed the prompt and which columns receive the output. No copy-pasting, no re-formatting. Just download, process, and upload.

Step-by-Step: Your Complete Cdiscount AI Generation Workflow

Step 1: Export Your Product Data from Cdiscount

Use Seller Zone’s built-in report feature to get a clean CSV of your offers.

  1. Log in to Seller Zone and open Gestion du stock (Manage Stock).
  2. Select Export des offres and choose the CSV format.
  3. Tick the columns you want, then click Générer to download the file.

Always check the official Cdiscount documentation for the most up-to-date information, as interface labels and options can change.

Step 2: Prepare Your CSV for High-Quality AI Output

Good inputs lead to good outputs. Before sending the file to Conbase.ai, make sure it contains the following "Ideal AI Input Source Columns":

  • EAN
  • SellerProductReference (SKU)
  • base_product_name
  • brand_name
  • product_type
  • primary_material
  • color
  • key_selling_point_1
  • key_selling_point_2
  • target_audience

Important for Cdiscount: Make sure your prompts ask the AI to write in fluent, market-specific French. A simple translation often sounds robotic and hurts trust. Also keep both EAN (for universal product matching) and SellerProductReference (SKU) (your internal identifier) in the file to avoid mix-ups during updates.

Step 3: Process Your Data with a Conbase.ai Pipeline

Follow these steps in the Conbase.ai interface:

  1. Upload your source CSV file.
  2. Configure one or more prompts that reference the columns listed above.
  3. Run the generation and download the enriched CSV.

Step 4: Import Your Enriched Data into Cdiscount

Once your CSV is enriched, upload it back to Seller Zone.

  1. Open Gestion du stock and choose Import des offres.
  2. Click Parcourir, select your enriched CSV, and upload.
  3. Map any new columns if prompted, then confirm the import.

Always check the official Cdiscount documentation for the most up-to-date information, as import rules and options can change.
