B. Questions after launching a campaign



1. Why can't my customer preview the design although Personalization preview mode is enabled?


After adding personalized text, selecting and uploading images, customers can preview the result with the personalization preview feature.

However, if the PSD file of the campaign's design uses complex effects that web technology does not support such as curved texts, mask patterns, etc., the live preview feature will not be enabled for that campaign. Therefore, when working with your design team on the artworks, if you want to have the preview feature enabled, there shouldn't be features such as Layer text with effects, Rotated image, and Layer Text with type options.

2. What can I edit after my campaign is launched?


You can edit your campaign's title, description, images, prices, tags, product type, collection in your Campaign detail page after it is launched.

From your PrintBase admin site, go to Campaign > All campaigns and click on the campaign you need to edit.
If you use ShopBase (PrintHub), from your ShopBase admin site, go to Products > All products, or Apps > PrintHub > All Campaigns and click on the campaign you need to edit.
If you use PlusBase, from your PlusBase admin site, go to POD products > All campaigns and click on the campaign you need to edit.

In addition, you can also edit custom options for your campaign after it is launched. If you have a non-personalized campaign and want to personalize it, or if you already have a personalized campaign and want to update it, go to the campaign detail page and click Edit personalization.

In the campaign editor page, you can add, delete, and make changes to your custom option. Then, click Save changes to update your campaign.

Understanding how the Picture choice process will give us the flexibility to execute for each different type of design. If you have a Custom Option of Picture choice type implemented on Layer A in the .PSD file of your product design, system will take the size of this Layer as the base. All clipart images used for this custom option will need to have the same size to this base layer. Please read this article on how to prepare files for the standard picture choice personalization.
