The Product Builder is the visual editor where you design what customers can customize. You add elements to a canvas, configure their behavior and permissions, define print areas, and preview the final product customizer.
Before you start
- You have created a Chamevo product with at least one view (see Create your first customizable product).
Open the Product Builder
- Go to Chamevo > Products.
- Expand a product and click Edit in Product Builder on a view.
The Product Builder has three main areas:
- Canvas (center) — the working area where you place and arrange elements.
- Modules panel (left) — tools for adding text, images, graphics, and other elements.
- Element Options panel (right) — properties and permissions for the selected element.
Work with elements
Add elements
Use the modules panel to add elements to the canvas:
| Module | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Text | A text element with configurable font, size, color, and permissions |
| Images | An image from your graphics library or an uploaded image |
| Graphics |
