Layer settings

Every setting on a layer's Personalizer tab, explained once — styling, placement, boundaries, and what the customer may change.

When the Personalizer is enabled for an option, the remaining settings apply to its layer, which is the content drawn on the product photo.

These pages describe those settings. For the setup procedure, see Set up the Personalizer.

Which settings a layer has

A layer is either text or an image, which determines most of the available settings. For the full table, see Set up the Personalizer.

Layer	Comes from	Gets
Text	Text, Textarea, Number	Color, size, style, font, effects. Curve and auto-fit on Text and Number; alignment, width, and height on Textarea
Image	File upload and eight selection types	Shape and fit mode, width and height

Both types share position, opacity, rotation, a crop area, and customer controls.

Read these two settings first. They prevent a customer from submitting a design you cannot produce:

• Auto-fit max width reduces the font size of long text instead of letting it extend past the product.

• Crop area prevents the customer from moving a layer outside the printable area. Set one whenever you enable a customer control.

Settings are per option

The same option type can be configured differently in two places. For example, a Name text layer can use a script font across the front, while a Date text layer is small and straight below it. None of these settings are store-wide.

The background is shared by every layer in the option set. See Choosing the background.
