A. Set up preview feature for ShopBase products
To create preview feature for your ShopBase personalized products, you will need to upload a preview image, create layers of personalization, and set up custom options by following these steps:
You can click on each text layer to edit Text, Size, Color, Location, Layer size, Rotation, and Opacity. You can select a font from ShopBase system, or click Add new fonts to upload a new font upon your wish.
You can apply Stroke and Curve effects on your text layer. Please refer to this article for more information on special effects on text layers.
You can click on each image layer to edit Location, Layer size, Rotation, and Opacity.
In the demo product of this article, customers can upload their own image and write their couple names. Therefore, one image layer and one text layer should be created in this step.
Layers created in the Create preview page will be synchronized to the Print file.
When new layers are updated in your preview image, you can quickly sync the new changes to your print file by clicking on Update Print file. Then, the new layers will be scaled to fit while maintaining their relative positions, avoiding extensive editing in the print file.
You can hide the layer for a custom option that is difficult to see in the preview image (for example, custom options to edit text on the shirt sleeve - this part is hidden in the preview image) by clicking on the "eye" icon. Customers can still customize these layers as usual, but they will be unable to preview them. In addition, this layer is still visible in the product's print file.
You can combine layers into different groups to easily organize and manage them, as well as to create products with multiple design versions for your customers to choose from. Please refer to this article for more information about layer groups.
