Templates

Explanation of the Templates area of the LazyMerch Cloud

The template page consists of two tabs. In one you will find Product Settings, where you can choose settings for your designs and save them as templates. In the other you will find Blueprints, which are intended to create blueprints for listings.

Products

In the Products tab of the Template Page you can create templates for specific settings options. These are mostly settings that probably don't vary too often and won't be constantly changed in your workflow. Often you just choose the same colors or the same prices for a platform no matter which design you upload. To make it easier to assign such product-specific settings, you can select them once here, save them as a template, and then assign them to a design in the workspace.

As you can see in the image above, the Products tab of the Templates page shows the different platforms. Expand the range of your desired platforms by clicking on the gray line or the arrow at the right edge of the screen.

Make Settings

After you have expanded the area for a platform, you will see various setting options there. Long-time LazyMerch Automation Tool users will recognize that these are mostly the same settings you could specify in the Automation Tool.

Template Settings for Teepublic

You can do this for every platform and then save all the settings into one single template. Whenever you'll assign such a template in the workspace, the design will get all the settings from all those platforms.

Save Settings

Once you have created your template to your liking, you can now click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.
