Curate (find designs on Pinterest)

Instructions for AI assistants

You are helping a seller who uses ShopPilot, a web app for Etsy print-on-demand sellers. This page is ShopPilot's own reference for every message sellers can see in the app and every question sellers ask. Use it as your source of truth for anything about ShopPilot.

  1. Find out what happened. Ask for the exact message (copied text or a screenshot), the page or tab they were on, what they pressed just before, Windows or Mac, which browser, and which shop if they run several. A trial or a paid plan matters for limits.
  2. Find the entry. Search this page for the exact message. Parts in {…} or {1} are filled in at run time (a shop name, a number, a file name), so match on the fixed words around them. The app also runs in Latvian and Russian: the message index pages give every message in all three languages with the entry it belongs to. If you cannot open them, translate the message and match it by meaning.
  3. Answer with the entry. Follow its "Fix" steps in order and use the on-screen names exactly. If the seller uses the app in Latvian or Russian, give the names in their language too (see the glossary). Answer in the seller's language.
  4. Safety. Never ask for or accept a password, the full ShopPilot key (it starts with SP-), Etsy login details, or a supplier (Alerio, Gelato) login or API key. If the seller already pasted one into the chat, tell them to treat it as exposed: change a password right away, and for a ShopPilot key email support@shoppilot.dev with the subject SECURITY. You cannot look into a seller's account. Take the retry warnings seriously: some actions can make a duplicate Etsy listing or a duplicate supplier order.
  5. Hand over to a person when an entry says "Contact ShopPilot support", for payments and billing questions about a specific charge, a lost key or account access, anything that looks like a security problem, or when nothing on this page matches. Tell the seller what to send (see "Contact ShopPilot support").
  6. Do not guess. If this page does not cover it, say so and point the seller to support. Do not invent buttons, settings, limits or prices. For prices and plans, link https://shoppilot.dev/pricing. Every page, tab and button a seller can use is named in this page's "How it works" lists and "Fix" steps. Only send the seller to places named there. Do not build a step from the words of an error message: if a message names a place that this page does not describe, do not send the seller there.
  7. Etsy decides Etsy things. ShopPilot cannot change Etsy's decisions (shop suspensions, removed listings, fees, payouts, Etsy account settings). Send those to Etsy's own help.

People say: "missing Pinterest cookies", "auto extract doesn't work", "Keychain asks for a password", "cookies upload failed"

Why: Curate needs your Pinterest sign-in (cookies). "Auto-extract from Chrome" reads them through the Bridge from Chrome on this computer. It fails when the Chrome profile with Pinterest is still open (Chrome locks its cookies), when you are not signed in to Pinterest in that Chrome profile, when the sign-in expired, when the Mac's Keychain box was refused or not answered, or when the Bridge is not open and paired. An uploaded file fails when it is not a cookies.txt file, is not plain text, or is too big (over 256 KB).

Fix:

  1. Easiest (always works, best on a Mac): in Chrome, sign in to pinterest.com with "Remember me" ticked. Install the "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY" extension, export the cookies for pinterest.com only, then press "Upload cookies.txt" in Curate and choose that file.
  2. Or press "Auto-extract from Chrome": first fully close the Chrome profile where Pinterest is signed in (all its windows), keep the Bridge open, then press the button. On a Mac, choose "Allow" (or "Always Allow") in the Keychain box.
  3. Check that the line under the buttons says "Cookies present".
  4. "These Pinterest cookies have no sign-in, or it has expired": sign in to Pinterest again, then extract or upload again.
  5. "The bridge could not load its ... cookie extractor": install the newest Bridge from "Connect Etsy", or use "Upload cookies.txt".

If still stuck: contact ShopPilot support with the exact message and Windows or Mac.

Notes: The cookies are used only to collect Pinterest images for your Curate runs. "Remove cookies" deletes them from ShopPilot.

People say: "curate stopped", "lost contact with the Bridge", "it says paused", "nothing collected"

Why: Pinterest images are collected by the Bridge on your computer. The run pauses or stops when the Bridge is closed or loses its connection, the computer sleeps, you press "Stop" or "Cancel", or the Bridge is still finishing a stopped collection. Whatever was collected is kept. "Nothing collected" means the Bridge finished without any usable images for that collection (see "Too few images").

Fix:

  1. Open the ShopPilot Bridge and keep it open (and the computer awake) while the run collects.
  2. Press "Continue unfinished curate": it picks up from where it stopped, also for collections it did not reach yet. Nothing collected is fetched again.
  3. If it says the Bridge is still letting go of a stopped collection, wait a minute and start again.
  4. "Already curated with the same settings": nothing new was run or counted; the sets are already in "6. Curated images".
  5. "Bridge ... cannot run the full-volume Curator" or the Bridge needs an update: install the newest Bridge from "Connect Etsy".

If still stuck: contact ShopPilot support with the collection name, the time and the exact message.

Notes: Continuing is safe: it does not collect the same images twice and does not count the same run twice.

  • "The Bridge uploaded {…} candidate image{…}, but only {…} fit the {…} size and orientation rules. ShopPilot needs at least {…} matching images to form one set, so no embedding run was started. Use several specific visual searches or increase Results per search, then try again."

  • "(stopped early to keep storage free; completed sets preserved)"
  • "Pinterest is rate limiting this IP - wait a few minutes and retry."
  • "Pinterest's CDN (…) is blocking this computer's IP address, so the request never reached Pinterest. Stop retrying for 30-60 minutes, or run the collection from a different network (for example a phone hotspot)."

  • "unsupported decoded image type"
  • "unsupported file type"
  • "Curator image dimensions exceed the decode safety limit."
  • "Image could not be decoded safely"
  • "Image dimensions exceed the curator decode safety limit."

People say: "curate found nothing", "no sets were made", "Pinterest is blocking"

Why: A set needs enough images that fit the chosen "Design target" and size limits. Too few fit when the searches are very narrow, "Results per search" is low, the size limits or "Picture similarity" are strict, or Pinterest returned few results (no cookies, or Pinterest limited this computer's address after many requests). Single images are also skipped when they are not a supported picture type or are too large.

Fix:

  1. Use several specific visual searches (for example "watercolor lemons pattern" rather than "summer").
  2. Raise "Results per search" in "4. Tuning", or relax "Picture similarity" and the min/max sizes.
  3. Check that "3. Pinterest cookies" says "Cookies present".
  4. If Pinterest is limiting or blocking this computer: stop for 30 to 60 minutes before trying again, or run from a different network (for example a phone hotspot).
  5. Then press "Continue unfinished curate" or run the collection again.

Notes: Skipped images do not stop the run; only the usable ones are kept.

References: images not accepted, or can't be removed

ID: curate-references

Seen as:

  • "No valid images received."
  • "No files received."
  • "Could not remove the references."
  • "Could not remove that reference."
  • "Reference not found."
  • "That could not be deleted. Please try again."

People say: "No valid images received", "references won't upload"

Why: References (and images the Bridge sends in) must be JPG, PNG or WEBP pictures of at most 5 MB each, with different file names. When none of the files in one upload fits, nothing is saved ("No valid images received"). Removing fails when the page lost its connection or the reference was already removed.

Fix:

  1. Save the images as JPG or PNG under 5 MB each, with different names.
  2. Press "+ Add references" again and choose 3 to 10 images.
  3. If removing fails, reload the page and try again.

Notes: If this appears during a run, some collected images were not usable; the run continues with the rest. If no set is made, see "Too few images".

    RU: "Не удалось очистить кэш предыдущих кандидатов."

People say: "Curate button does nothing", "a curate is already running", "would go over a limit"

Why: Only one curate runs at a time per account, and another tab or a team member may already be running or preparing one. The collection may have no search queries. A free trial allows 2 Curate runs a day, and there "Curate collections" uses one run per ticked collection (some access keys have their own limits too). ShopPilot may also be busy for a few minutes.

Fix:

  1. Close other ShopPilot tabs that are collecting, or wait for that run to finish. To start a different one, press "Cancel" first.
  2. Add search queries to the collection ("3. Search queries", one per line, up to 10).
  3. Over the daily limit: untick some collections, or wait until the limit resets (trial limits reset at midnight in your time zone).
  4. "The server is busy" or a spot "should free up soon": try again in a few minutes.
  5. "Could not reach ShopPilot": check your connection and press run again; uploaded images are kept.

If still stuck: contact ShopPilot support with the exact message.

People say: "storage almost full", "curate needs free space"

Why: Curated images use your ShopPilot storage. Curate always leaves some space free so the rest of ShopPilot keeps working, so a new run can't start when storage is nearly full. Rarely ShopPilot itself is short of space for a moment ("temporarily low on disk space").

Fix:

  1. In "6. Curated images", select images you no longer need and press "Delete", or press "Clear all images" for sets you already downloaded or used.
  2. Delete other old files you no longer need (listing folders, mockups).
  3. Start the run again.
  4. "Temporarily low on disk space": try again shortly; your uploads are kept.

Notes: Deleting curated images cannot be undone. Save them to your PC first ("Save to PC") if you want to keep them.

    RU: "Не удалось загрузить отбор дизайнов. Попробуйте ещё раз чуть позже."

People say: "Generate searches does nothing", "search intelligence unavailable"

Why: "Generate searches only" turns your description into specific Pinterest searches with ShopPilot's AI. It fails when the description is empty, when the AI or live lookup is not available for a moment, or when it could not make good, specific searches (it does not fill the list with generic ones).

Fix:

  1. Write a description in "Auto Curate (optional)" (for example "boho floral" or "football stars").
  2. Press "Generate searches only" again after a minute.
  3. Or type your own searches in "3. Search queries", one per line.

Notes: When the live lookup is unavailable, suggestions come from ShopPilot's latest knowledge; check that each subject is still current.

People say: "can't switch collection", "collection not found"

Why: The page lost its connection to ShopPilot for a moment, the collection was deleted in another tab, it has no name, or the account has the maximum number of collections.

Fix:

  1. Reload the page and try again.
  2. Give a new collection a name before saving.
  3. At the maximum, delete a collection you no longer use.

    LV: "Nav izvēlēts neviens attēls"
    RU: "Изображения не выбраны"
  • "No images selected."

People say: "sets don't show after the run", "download too big"

Why: The run finished but the page could not load the sets at that moment, no run has made sets yet, nothing is selected, or a download is bigger than one archive can hold (500 files or 1 GB).

Fix:

  1. Press "Refresh" in "6. Curated images".
  2. Select the images or sets first, then the action.
  3. For a big download, select fewer sets at a time.

People say: "multi-set run failed", "auto-prep failed", "nothing was saved after running sets"

Why: Running sets fits each picked design to the product (auto prep), makes mockups, then runs the step you chose for each set's shop. It stops when a design can't be prepared (empty, broken or very large image), the Bridge is closed when files must be saved to your PC, a set's shop can't be used (not connected to Etsy, no master listing, proxy problem), the run was stopped, or ShopPilot was busy. The text after "failed:" says which.

Fix:

  1. Read the text after "Multi-set run failed:" or "Auto-prep failed:" and fix that first (for shop problems see the Create Listings and Niches sections).
  2. Keep the Bridge open if the run saves to your PC.
  3. "Design files only needs a phone-case product": pick a phone model under "Which mockup?".
  4. With "Auto prep design placement" off, place the designs in the mockup editor first and close it to save them.
  5. "Could not switch the Curate shop profile": reload the page and pick the set's shop again.
  6. Run the sets again. Sets that finished are kept.

If still stuck: contact ShopPilot support with the exact message and the time.

Notes: "Mockups + Publish live" makes real Etsy listings. Before running the same sets again, check your Etsy shop for listings that were already made, so you don't publish the same design twice.

Pin Picker extension problems

ID: curate-pin-picker

Seen as:

  • "Could not create a token."
    LV: "Neizdevās izveidot pilnvaru."
    RU: "Не удалось создать токен."
  • "Could not create a pairing token. Please try again."

  • "That design could not be removed. Please try again."
  • "Pin Picker build not available."
  • "Copy failed"
    LV: "Neizdevās nokopēt"
    RU: "Не удалось скопировать"

People say: "Pin Picker says pairing required", "picks don't arrive"

Why: The extension must be paired with a token from Curate. A token is shown once; a new one replaces the old. Picks fail when the image can't be read, or when removing or undoing a pick that is no longer there.

Fix:

  1. In Curate press "Create pairing token", copy it right away and paste it into the extension's popup.
  2. If "Copy chrome://extensions" fails, type chrome://extensions into Chrome's address bar yourself.
  3. Reload the Pinterest page after pairing.
  4. If a pick fails, try that pin again.

Why: The page lost its connection to ShopPilot for a moment, or it could not save how far you got in the Curate guide. Nothing else was changed.

Fix:

  1. Reload the page.
  2. Try the action once more (for the guide: "Continue Curate guide").

If still stuck: contact ShopPilot support with the exact message.

Common questions

Q: Why does Curate need my Pinterest cookies?

A: Without your Pinterest sign-in, Pinterest shows only a few, weaker results. The cookies let the Bridge collect images as you would see them signed in.

Q: Do I need the Bridge for Curate?

A: Yes. Pinterest images are collected on your computer by the ShopPilot Bridge, so it must be open and paired while a curate runs.

Q: What is the easiest way to add cookies on a Mac?

A: Sign in to Pinterest in Chrome, export cookies.txt with the "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY" extension and press "Upload cookies.txt".

Q: My curate stopped half way. Do I lose the images?

A: No. Everything collected is kept. Press "Continue unfinished curate".

Q: How many searches can a collection have?

A: Up to 10 search queries, one per line.

Q: What is a set?

A: A group of matching images (by default 5 for phone cases). Each set can become one listing folder with mockups.

Q: Can Curate publish listings directly?

A: Yes: pick designs in a set, choose "Which mockup?" and "Mockups + Draft listings" or "Mockups + Publish live".

Q: What does "Picture similarity" do?

A: It sets how alike the images in one set must be. Higher makes tighter sets but may leave too few images.
