Personalizer templates

Twenty ready-made personalized option sets, with their layers already positioned.

The app includes twenty complete personalized option sets. Each one has its options, its background, and its layers already positioned for a particular type of product.

Adapting one is faster than starting from an empty canvas, and it shows you how a complete setup is configured.

Where they are

Templates in the app menu, then the Personalizer templates tab.

The other two tabs are Pre-designed templates, which are option sets without personalization, and Custom templates, which are your own.

Using a template

1

Open the demo first

Each template includes a demo, so you can see the finished behavior on a storefront before you use it.

2

Select Use template

A new option set is created from the template, and the builder opens.

3

Rename it

Name the option set after your products rather than the template.

4

Replace the background with your own product

This is the most important step. The template's layers are positioned against its own demo image, so they do not line up with your photograph.

Open Change background, select Product image, and select one of your own products. See Choosing the background.

5

Reposition every layer

Go through each personalized option and adjust its position and size against your image.

6

Adjust the options themselves

Set your own character limits, fonts, and prices. Templates contain example values.

7

Assign it to your products

Set a rule on Assign products. A template has no product rule. See Assign to products.

8

Save, activate, and test on a real product page

Use View in Store.

What to check after using a template

Check
Why

The background is your product

Otherwise every layer is positioned for somebody else's photograph

Every layer's position

The single biggest source of "the template looks wrong"

Character limits

The template's limit reflects its example product, not your engraving area

Fonts

Change them to fonts you can actually produce. See Fonts

Prices

Templates carry example prices, or none

Option Name fields

So your orders read properly. See Label and Name

The product rule

A template arrives unassigned

Choosing a template

Select a template by the structure of the design rather than by the product name. For example, if you sell engraved hip flasks, the closest template is not the one named after a flask. It is the one with a short engraving on a small curved surface, probably the pen or the BBQ fork.

Notes

  • Using a template creates a new option set. It does not modify the template, and you can use the same template as often as you need.

  • A new option set created from a template is Draft and has no product rule, so it is not displayed on your storefront until you set both.

  • Personalizer templates require the Personalizer, which may not be available on all plans. Without it, the option set is created, but the layers are not drawn.

  • After adapting a template to your products, save it as a custom template, so your next product starts from your version.
