Enable the Designer for products
Printlane is now successfully installed on your store. To enable the designer for a product, you need the unique Template ID from Printlane. Once you have it, you can link the template to your product.
1. Find the Template ID
Click the pencil icon to edit a template.
Copy or note down the Template ID field.
2. Link the template to your product
2.1. Add the Printlane attribute
Edit any product in your Ecwid store.
Go to the Attributes tab and enter the Template ID in the Printlane attribute field. This links the product to the corresponding template.
If the Printlane attribute is missing, click Manage Attributes to add it.
⚠ Important: The Printlane attribute must be set to Show. If it is set to Do not show, the designer will not be activated.
2.2. Add Text Field option to store the design reference
When a customer clicks Add to Cart in the Printlane Designer, a unique reference for their design is generated. To be able to store this reference in the shopping cart, a Text Field must be added.
The option must be of type Text Field.
It should be named
design referenceIt must be optional (not required).
That's it! Open the product page in your Ecwid store. It will display a button Personalize instead of Add to cart. You can customize the product by clicking on the Personalize button.

3. Link a Printlane Template to a product variant (optional)

Assign different templates to different variants.
You can manage this efficiently using Ecwid’s bulk editor.
