1) Settings

Custom URL Slug

When clicked on a customizable product, the customer is redirected to a custom url created by Printeon. This URL is like the following example;

https://demo.palleon.website/?page=product-designer&product_id=1230

You can change "product-designer" part with any slug you want (Only Latin characters, digits, hyphen and underscore are allowed.)

Guest Order

Allow customers to access the product designer without login.

Guest Order Message

If you disable "Guest Order", this message will be shown to non-login users.

Color Attribute Slug

Choose which product attribute will be used for color selection. This attribute will also change the background of the canvas.

This feature is useful if you have a mask product image which has transparent parts.

If you need help to create mask images for your products, we suggest you to hire a freelancer. For example; Fiverr

Upload/Download Template

If enabled, users can download the design to upload later using buttons on the top bar.

Modules

You can enable or disable any Palleon module but please keep in mind that if you enable a module from Palleon Settings -> Modules, even if you enable it for Printeon, it keeps disabled.

Image Multiplier and DPI

Instead of saving a single big print-ready image, Printeon saves 2 files for each print area. A preview image and a Palleon template. You can edit and resize the design as you need with Palleon and download as a 300 DPI print-ready file. This unique process, saves your bandwidth and server resources.

Default image multiplier value is 0.5. Lets say your print area size is 600x900 px. The output image size will be 300x450 px which is enough for the preview images. But if you adjust this value as 10 and adjust "Image DPI" to 300 DPI, the output image will be a print-ready big 6000x9000 px image.

We highly recommend you not to change these settings and use Palleon templates to create print-ready files. In this way "add to cart" process will be fast and stable.

2) How to enable product designer?

If Palleon plugin is installed and activated, you will see a new meta box at the bottom of the product edit screen.

If you can't find the meta box, click "Screen Options" and make sure that "Product Designer" is checked.

1) Enable the product designer.

2) Enter a name and upload the product template which you have created using Palleon. These fields are required because there must be at least one print area user can edit on the product.

3) Additional options are optional.

Choose Disable if the product has single print area and has no variant.

Choose Print Areas if the product has multiple printable areas. For example for a t-shirt, you can add front, back, left sleeve and right sleeve print areas. All these fields (except the first one) will be optional.

Choose Variants if the product has different types and they need to have individual templates. For example for a phone case; You can add iPhone 14, iPhone 13 etc. There will be only one print area user can edit.

3) How to create a product template?

1) Open Palleon image editor.

2) Upload the image you want to add a print area on it or create a blank canvas.

3) Click "Shapes". Select "Print Area" from the dropdown menu and add the shape to the canvas.

Fill Color: The background color of the print area. It is optional. Your customers will able to change it from the product designer.

Outline: As default there is a dashed border around the print area. You can change its size and color. If you want to make it invisible, enter 0 to "Outline Size" field.

Resize the print area:

Custom Width and height are in pixels but the actual size is not important. You will be able to resize the print area with Palleon before downloading the print-ready file. The important thing is the aspect ratio.

To resize the print area to a specific aspect ratio, enter the values to required fields (first one is width, second one is height) and click "lock" button.

When the aspect ratio is locked, if you enter a value to one of custom width or custom height fields, other value will be recalculated automatically.

4) Lock the layer (print area): This is important. You should lock the print area layer before save or download template.

Overlay Image (Optional)

Overlay image is useful only if your mask image (PNG) has transparent parts and the size of the image (or the aspect ratio) is equal to the canvas. The overlay image will over all objects on the canvas and will be stretched to fit the canvas.

5) Save or download: Click "Save or Download", and save or download file "as template". Then you can add the template to the related field on product meta box.
