The Product Builder is a full-screen dark-theme editor for configuring product templates.

Views

Each product can have multiple views (e.g., Front and Back):

  • Click a view tab to switch between views
  • Each view has its own canvas size, elements, and background

Canvas Size

The print area defines where customers can place designs:

  • Set X, Y, Width, Height to define the bounding box
  • Shown as a dashed blue rectangle on the canvas
  • Elements outside the print area won't be included in print exports

Adding Elements

  • Add Image: Opens WordPress Media Library to select an image
  • Background Image: Sets the product mockup as canvas background
