Enhanced Decoration Controls
Decoration setup is easier than ever, letting you configure methods and placement options at scale. Assign different decoration methods across products, manage logos, and save time with a centralized approach.

Save time by uploading entire product lines using CSV templates, reducing errors, and streamlining updates. You can also quickly adjust stock, remove discontinued items, and keep catalogs current with minimal effort.

This uniformity supports a smoother shopping experience and creates a cohesive look across the platform, reinforcing brand presence and making it easier for customers to find essential information.
