Product Setup

Configure how products behave in the Print Editor — editor mode, color space, UI toggles, fonts, layouts, themes, and preview settings.

Product Setup covers the Print Editor-specific configuration for each product. While the Products page in Print Store manages the full product lifecycle (creation, pricing, publishing, attributes), the settings documented here control what happens when a customer opens the product in the Print Editor.

These settings are found on the Print Editor tab of the product edit page, and through the Actions menu in the right sidebar.

For creating products and managing product information, categories, and pricing, see Products.

The Print Editor tab configures how the product behaves in the design editor. These settings only apply to products with Product Type set to "online."
