Batch Upload Designs

In this tutorial, you will learn how to seamlessly integrate custom designs into your DecoNetwork system by batch-uploading them to your stock designs list.

Affiliates can select and incorporate these designs into their product offerings. This flexibility empowers affiliates to curate their product catalog by choosing which designs are showcased and determining customer access to these designs for personalization purposes. Mastering this batch-upload feature allows you to quickly expand your stock design offerings, enhancing the diversity and appeal of products available through your DecoNetwork platform.
