For that, navigate to Catalog → Products → Designer Designer Setting. Now scroll down to the “Design area”.
Here you will get two types of Printing method :
Global Printing Method: This method allows you to configure multiple printing methods that will be applied to all design areas of the product. The same set of printing methods will be available across every design location, ensuring a consistent printing configuration.
Location-wise Printing Method: This method allows you to assign different printing methods for specific design locations. You can configure unique printing options for each design area (such as front, back, or sleeve), providing more flexibility and control over the printing setup.
Now that the printing method has been set up for the product, let’s see how it works in the front store. The configured printing options will be available for customers when they start customizing the product.
Global Printing Method
On the Product Design page, when the product is configured with the Global Printing Method, the customer can select the design area and choose a printing method. The final price will then be calculated based on the selected printing method, number of colors, and size options.[1]
On the Design Tool, the customer will be redirected with the same printing method selected on the Product Detail Page (PDP). The customer can change the printing method from the Product tab within the design tool.[2].
To view the details of the printing method, click View Details. This will open a detailed pop-up containing the pricing, color, and size information.[3]
The price will be calculated based on the selected printing method and options.[4]
Location Wise Printing method
With the Location-wise Printing Method, the user can assign a specific printing method to each design location, along with the corresponding color and size options. In the Designer Tool, only the locations that have been selected will be available for customization.[1]
