For some specific campaigns with complex designs such as this one with Van Gogh style painting of customer's pet, merchants need to edit different layers of personalization before fulfilling orders. This can be very difficult and time-consuming for merchants, especially when dealing with a large number of orders without a design team.

This can help merchants create campaigns with more appealing designs to attract more sales. In this article, we'll show you how to set up a campaigns with Custom Art and explain how it works.
