The product builder, step by step

The product builder turns one photograph into the pieces you sell. It has three steps: Photograph, Design and Prices & publish.

Steps

1. Photograph. Open Products, press Create a product and choose a photograph. You can also press Sell this photograph on a photograph’s page.
2. Design. STIL LAB has prepared a range for your photograph; change anything you like. Nothing is saved until you save. Under Copy another photograph’s product you can start from a product you already have instead.
3. Work down the rows: Size, Add a frame?, Frame, Mat, Glass, Matted prints, Print border, Paper and, when it can be had, Premium Presentation. Frame, Mat and Glass show once you add a frame, and Print border while you sell prints. Each row opens a popup where you choose. The live preview shows the piece as you go. On a phone, the rows come one screen at a time; press Next to move on.
4. Press Continue to prices.
5. Prices & publish. Set your prices and the product’s name. See Setting prices and your markup.
6. Press Preview product to see it as your customers will.
7. Press Publish product. After you publish, the builder tells you whether customers can buy it yet.

Good to know

• The first size and frame you tick is Shown first: the piece customers see when they open the product. Press Show first on another to change it.
• Once a product is on your website, the button reads Update my website when you have changes to publish.
• If you leave with changes not saved, the builder asks first. Save and leave saves a product that is not published yet; Update my website and leave publishes your changes to a live product.
• Your work is also kept on the device you are using, and offered back if the page reloads.
• To reuse a product’s setup for another photograph, press Use this setup for another photograph on the Products page. To set many photographs up the same way, use a profile.
