This article walks through the Virtual Logo Setup feature, which displays the logo virtually on the product's image on the store front, so the shopper can see how the logo will appear on the product. This feature works with the uploaded logos under Logo Management, have them offered on product pages, and then a shopper can select to see a virtualized preview of the logo placed on the product image while viewing it on the store front.

Prior to using this feature, the following must already be created/completed:

  • Main Images for the Product - Click here for more information on uploading images. Please note, product option images can also be used with this setup as well, click here to see how to upload images to your product options.

Tips and Tricks

  • When hotspotting multiple product images, we recommend using the button to “apply hotspots to all images” which allows you to duplicate hotspots onto product images.
    • If your product images are all different sizes, this may result in the hotspot box being in a different location on the image.
  • If you have Multiple Quantity enabled for your Color product option, the main image does not cycle between different colors. The shopper can hover over and/or click onto an item thumbnail after selecting a logo to be virtualized.
  • Allowing users to upload their own logos will then result in the "Upload Logo" button appearing on all product pages, and the user can manage their account uploaded logos within their storefront account profile.
  • If a logo isn't virtualizing when selected, double check the uploaded Logo's "color profile" setting. If it's CYMK instead of RGB, this may cause issues with the logo virtualization not appearing, or not appearing correctly.
