How to Create and Assign a Template to a Photobook Product
Designing a photobook product is easier when you use templates. Templates help your customers start with a ready-to-use design rather than a blank canvas. Here’s how to create a template and assign it to your photobook product. When customers personalize a photobook product, it’s best if a template appears instead of an empty design studio. This tutorial walks through the steps for creating a template and linking it to a specific photobook product, so shoppers always see your preferred starting design.
Step 1: Check Your Photobook Product Settings
Step 2: Note Product Dimensions and Default Page Count Go to the product settings. Record the width, height, and the default number of pages (found in the assigned personalization profile). You’ll need these for your template.
Step 3: Create a New Template
Open the Templates module from the left sidebar. Click Add new template, choose the correct store, and give the template a name, such as "Book One Example."
Assign a relevant category (like "Photo Products"). Leave thumbnail and description fields blank for now.
Step 4: Connect the Personalization Profile
Search for and select the same personalization profile that’s assigned to your product (for example, "book one Dynamic spine calculation").
Once selected, the template auto-fills with your product’s default pages, width, and height. Check these values for accuracy.
Click Submit to save and create your new template.
Step 5: Design Your Template
Click the design icon to open your template in the design studio.
Select a page and add artwork or layouts as needed. Repeat for different pages. This step can be brief for a draft or detailed if creating a production-ready template.
When done, click Save. You’ll see a success message.
Step 6: Assign the Template to the Product. Navigate to the Products section and search for your photobook (example: "Dynamic spine calculation"). Edit the product.
Scroll to the Template option. Click Add, pick the category ("Photo Products"), and select your new template ("book one example"). Ensure it appears as the assigned template.
Scroll down and click Submit to save product changes.
