How to use the Etsy Personalization Instructions Checker.
Personalization instructions need to tell the buyer what to submit and what will happen if they omit it. Check length and character rules for consistency.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Compare the listing's personalization promise with the field instructions and actual limits. State the required text and missing-information process clearly, resolving contradictory length or character rules before publication.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Listing states a 12-character personalization limit; the field says up to 20. Seller confirms production accepts at most 12 letters or spaces. Missing instructions require contacting the buyer before production.
Completed example
Finding: the field's 20-character instruction conflicts with the confirmed 12-character production limit. Replacement instruction: Enter the text to personalize, using up to 12 letters or spaces. Please check spelling before submitting. If the text is missing, we will contact you before production. Example valid text: Maya Lee, 8 characters including the space.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Which limit should apply when two personalization instructions disagree?
Confirm the actual production and field constraints with the seller. Do not silently choose the larger or more convenient limit.
Why are buyers submitting unusable personalization text?
Check whether the instructions specify the needed content, limit and allowed format. Show an example consistent with those rules.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
