Assign Embroidery Designs to WooCommerce Products & Variations as Per Standard Templates

It is possible to set the customization placement for the entire category, notwithstanding the same image format/ subject matter is required (e.g. all t-shirts on a white background consistently photographed in an identical position). Alternatively it is possible to use a Placeholder image with a transparent center.

Set the Customization Placement Position

If required, it is possible to override the original customization placement set for a category and make granular adjustments to each product/ variation.

Set the Customization Background

There are several options for the background of the preview:

  • Product image
  • Placement placeholder image
  • Background behind image:
    • None
    • Product featured image
    • Variation image (product image where not applicable)
    • Color sample from product/variation image (the background can be scaled for patterns)
  • Custom image (you can upload your preferred background image)
  • Custom color (select a colour or use a Hex Code)
  • Color sample from product / variation image

It is possible to create a Placement placeholder image (PNG) with a transparent center* to expose the product or variation image in the transparent center of the image. Alternatively it is also possible to colour sample from the product or variation image in the transparent center of the image. This is useful if your images are in inconsistent formats.

*you will need design software or need to ask a designer to create Placement Placeholder image with a transparent center
