Qstomizer includes the possibility to automatically generate customer designs and create download links without the need of using the generation tool.
Notice that this is a Beta feature. Please, feel free to provide any feedback you may have.
1. Automatically generate and download the design.
You can download the design made by your customers from the order page. You can enter in the "Orders" section of the backoffice, select and order and click on "Auto Generate & Download" link to automatically generate the design and download it.
The design will be download with the settings defined in the related product settings. To change the settings, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Go to the "Products" section of the backoffice
- Step 2: Select the product you want to modify the settings.
- Step 3: Click on the "General" Tab
- Step 4: Edit the image settings at the bottom of the page.
- Step 5: Click on "Save Generation Parameters".
The parameters correspond to the same settings that you can find in the generation tool.
- - Render quality (scale): The value can be 1-10. Higer value involves higher files. Select the appropriate value based on your requirements.
- - Output format: PNG or JPG
- - Transparent Background: If you select PNG as the output format, the background can be transparent.
- - Crop Mode: Full Canvas (The full design area is downloaded), Squared: The design is cropped to a square shape using the diecut lines. Shape (Mask silhouette): The design is cropped to the shape of the mask (squared, circular or polygonal) as defined in the product settings.
- - Final Width (px): If you need the design with a specific size in pixels, define the width here. The image will be scalled and cropped to that exact size.
- - Final Height (px): If you need the design with a specific size in pixels, define the height here. The image will be scalled and cropped to that exact size. If you set 0 in this parameter, the height will be automatically calculated based on the width keeping the aspect ratio.
Notice that changing the settings will affect the generated design after the settings are saved. Previous designs will not be affected.
1. Generate download links.
If you need to share the generated design with your customers, your team or external parties (For instance, a fullfilment company), you can create download links for each order and side of the product.
To do so, just click on the "Copy print link" option to generate a shareable link.
When you click on the link, the systems automatically copy in the clipboard the shareable link and adds it to a list. In the list you can view all the generated links, the times they were generated and you can revoke the link anytime.
Notice that all the links expire after 30 days unless revoked.
