How to adjust design placement on products
- Go to the Partner Area
- Click on the design you want to adjust
- Hover over the product(s) you want to adjust
- Click on the ‘edit’ button
- Drag and drop until your design is where you want it
- Click ‘apply’ to save your design placement
You can repeat these steps for all the products you want to adjust. Once you’ve finished all the products belonging to a specific design, you can use a template. The template will save the settings you’ve chosen for a product so next time you place a design on that product, you won’t have to go through all of these steps.
Bonus: When editing your design placement, use the features on the left to make your design smaller or larger, and to place it vertically or horizontally.
