    However, please note you need to also send Pixabay an email requesting them to enable your APIKey for use via PitchPrint. By default, the API Key will not work unless they enable it for you on their end. Kindly read more here: http://docs.pitchprint.com/article/76-how-to-enable-pixabay-image-search.

File Uploads

  1. Clear User Uploads: Enabling this option clears the uploaded image cache before each user session.
  2. Flatten SVGs: Enabling this option will flatten all uploaded SVG images. This gives a better result in terms of what you see is what you get but then limits ability of customers to change the uploaded shape's colors.
  3. Flatten all other Vectors: Enabling this applies the same effect as above to other file formats like PDF, Illustrator, CorelDraw files etc. This is a highly recommended option as there are various vector files customers can upload and we can't guarantee their fidelity across board. Flattening these files upon upload ensures they get exactly what was in the file.
  4. Conversion Size (x10): Max pixel value to which your file will be scaled. E.g. 300 = 3000px.
  5. Display Image Source for Masks: Show a Panel where the user picks their image source when they click a mask.

Image DPI Check

  1. Enable DPI Check: This option will limit users from stretching their uploaded images beyond certain limits to maintain quality.
  2. DPI Minimum: Use this to set the value for the DPI check.

Store Settings

  1. Show App on Startup: This enables the designer to automatically show when your product page launches.
  2. Retain Page Images: After a design has been customized, the app changes the product page's preview pictures to the new design's. Enabling this will force the app not to change the product page's images.
  3. Customization Required: Enabling this will force customers to first edit a design before they can add to cart. In some cart frameworks, this is achieved by hiding the Add to Cart button until a design is customized.
  4. Prevent Inline Scroll: Prevents the user from initially scrolling on the page when inline mode is enabled.
  5. Display mode: This refers to how the APP will show on your product page we have three options to choose from Mini Mode, Inline Mode and Full Window(Default).
  6. Modify Project ID: Prepend or Append data to the project ID.
  7. Inline Selector Element: This is where you specify an html element selector present on your product page where PitchPrint designer can attach itself and load inline as a part of your page instead of being displayed full screen. Usually customers can send us their product page URL and we will search for a suitable element and send back its value. This is because there are different themes out there each with its own layout and naming schemes.
  8. File Upload Types: The admin can use this field to specify acceptable file upload types for the upload section on the product page.
  9. Price Selector Element: Similar to the inline version described above, this allows PitchPrint to capture the price and display it within the app.
  10. Custom JavaScript: This is where you type in your custom JavaScript you wish to run when the app is loaded. You can use this for language customization.
  11. Custom CSS Style: Use this to specify additional styles you wish to apply to the designer when loaded.
  12. Help Content: Add your own help content with HTML.
