What is the product preview feature?
The product preview feature is a new type of mockup tool that we’ve introduced to our image editor in the Prodigi dashboard and is available to merchants who use our manual order form, CSV importer or sales channel integrations.
How does the product preview feature differ from the mockup generator?
Our product preview feature offers an enhanced order experience, with both order and mockup creation components conveniently located in one place, eliminating the need to switch between the dashboard and mockup generator.

Is the product preview dynamic? Does it update in real-time as changes are made?
Yes, the product preview is dynamic. It will change to reflect any changes made to the uploaded artwork in the ‘Design view’, providing an accurate representation of the final product.
How do I download my product preview?
After clicking ‘Mockup view’, select ‘Download full-size mockup’. Your product preview will then download and appear in your device’s downloads list.
Where can I use the product previews I’ve created?
Anywhere you like! You can use product previews in your store’s product listings, on social media or for marketing purposes.
How do I know if a product doesn’t have a preview available?
If no preview is available for the product you’ve selected, the ‘Design view’ and ‘Mockup view’ buttons won’t be visible in the image editor.
How is the availability of product previews determined?
Product previews are currently limited to a select range of products, but will eventually include our entire catalogue of print on demand products.
Where product previews are available, there will be a single preview image. Over time, we also plan to include multiple product previews of the same item from different angles, including close-up shots.
