- 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
