A Chamevo product defines the customization experience your customers see — which surfaces they can design on, which elements they can interact with, and what rules apply. This guide walks you through creating a product, adding views, and previewing it.

Before you start

• Chamevo is installed and your license key is activated (see Activate your license key).
• You have a product image ready — the background image customers see while customizing (e.g., a blank t-shirt, phone case, or mug photo).

Create a new product

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Chamevo > Products.
2. Click + New Product.
3. Enter a product title (e.g., "Custom T-Shirt" or "Personalized Phone Case").
4. Optionally upload a thumbnail image to identify the product in your product list.
5. Optionally assign the product to one or more Chamevo categories. Categories help organize your products when you have many.

The product is created with zero views. You add views next.

Add views

Views represent different customizable surfaces of your product — the front of a t-shirt, the back, or a sleeve.

1. In the product listing, click on your new product to expand it.
2. Click the + button to add a view.
3. Enter a view title (e.g., "Front").
4. Upload a thumbnail for the view.
5. Repeat for additional views (e.g., "Back", "Left Sleeve").

Most products start with one or two views. You can always add more later.

See Set up product views for detailed configuration of view options, print areas, and 3D model assignments.
