Design Manager is where you customize how your product images will look with overlays (like prices, text, or badges). If you’re just starting out with Cropink, don’t worry – this guide will walk you through everything step by step.
Design manager allows you to customize the following:
Manageable layers
Manageable layers
In this section, you’ll see a list of all elements in your design that can change based on your product data. For example, you can connect a price text field with your product feed so the price updates automatically for each product visual.
You can manage:
📝 Text (like price, product name, discount)
🖼️ Images (e.g. icons, logos, backgrounds)
🔲 Frames (shapes, containers, badges, etc.)
💡 Tip: When you click on an element in the design preview, it will automatically highlight in the list – so you always know exactly what you’re editing.
