Learn to create a merchandise product template in DesignO. This tutorial covers the entire process, from crafting the template to linking it to a product.

Please note that the video and article screenshots may appear slightly different due to ongoing DesignO version upgrades. The tutorial video was originally recorded on DesignO Version 2.0, whereas the help article has now been updated to reflect Version 2.5. As a result, certain UI elements, screen layouts, or timestamp references in the screenshots may vary from what is shown in the video. However, the overall functionality, workflow, and process demonstrated in both the video and the article remain the same and accurate. The steps can be followed as demonstrated, irrespective of the minor interface differences caused by version enhancements.

Step 2: Choose Add New Templates.

Step 3: Select DesignO Magento for the store. Input a template name and assign it to a category.

Step 5: Select the product for which the template is being created. In this instance, it's a t-shirt. Click Submit.

Designing the Template

Step 1: After submitting, the system redirects to the template library page. Click on the design icon of the newly created template.

Assigning the Template to a Product
