Facebook, Instagram & Pixabay Integration

The new app allows your customers to select images directly from Facebook, Instagram, or Pixabay within the product designer. All settings are now handled directly in the Photos settings page.

Step 1: Access the Photos Settings

Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
Navigate to: Chamevo → Settings → Features → Photos
Click Photos to access all image source options.
Save Changes

Step 2: Facebook Integration

App ID: Enter your Facebook App ID to enable Facebook photo integration.
Once added, users can select images from their Facebook albums.

Tip: If you don’t have a Facebook App yet, visit Facebook Developers to create one.

Step 3: Instagram Integration

App ID: Enter your Instagram App ID.
App Secret: Enter the secret key of your Instagram app.
Redirect URI: Use this exact URI when setting up your Instagram app:

https://play.fancyproductdesigner.com/wp-content/plugins/fancy-product-designer/assets/templates/instagram_auth.php

After entering these values in Photos settings, users can select images from their Instagram uploads.

Tip: Make sure the Redirect URI is exactly as provided; do not change it.

Step 4: Pixabay Integration

4.1 Retrieve an API Key

Go to the [Pixabay API documentation]().
Log in to your Pixabay account or create a new account.
Your API key will be displayed under the “key” parameter.

4.2 Access High-Resolution Photos

To use high-res images (larger than ~640×540 px), request permission:

Visit the high-res permission page in the Pixabay API docs.
Click “requires permission” next to the headline.

A modal will appear. Complete all checkboxes and provide a short explanation of your use case, for example:

“I am selling business cards and want to give my customers the possibility to access photos from Pixabay.”

Wait 24–48 hours for confirmation via email.

4.3 Enter the API Key in Your Plugin

WordPress:

Go to Chamevo → Settings → Features → Photos.
Enter your Pixabay API key.
If you have high-res permission, enable “Pixabay High-Res Images”.
Set your API key in the plugin options.

4.4 Additional Pixabay Options|

Language: Select the language for Pixabay image searches (e.g., English).
Users can now search and select images directly from the Pixabay library inside the product designer.

Always enable high-res images if your products require print-quality graphics. Ensure your API key is correct; otherwise, Pixabay images will not appear in the designer.

Summary

With these settings configured in Photos, your customers can easily access images from Facebook, Instagram, or Pixabay without any coding, server scripts, or App Review steps.

Combine these external image sources with the Upload Module settings (auto-fill zones, fit images to canvas) for the smoothest image upload and selection experience
