I have found some mockup images online on freepik.com that are free and unrestricted for commercial use, but do require attribution. How/where can we add an attribution for these on Zazzle? Should we just include it in the product description?

Attribution: How, when and where?
If you are a Free user, you must always include the attribution line “Designed by Freepik” on the final products or designs you use our resources for, whether these are physical or digital products.

Yeah I read that, but it gives you code to put on a website which we can't do on Zazzle. I was asking if we should just put the text in the product description. Was also hoping a moderator would chime in to let us know the best way to do this.

It says: you MUST ALWAYS include the attribution line “Designed by Freepik” on the FINAL PRODUCT/S or designs you use our resources for, whether these are PHYSICAL or DIGITAL products.
So, you put the attribution "Designed by Freepik" on your FINAL PRODUCT or design, not in the description.
Try this---Put "designed by Freepik" in a very small font on the freepik mockup layer, add your image on a layer above it, create your final mockup which is now your final product, that should meet assigning attribution to freepik.
When in doubt, contact Freepik go to https://www.freepik.com/profile/support
The product belongs to Freepik, so- basically boils down to --their product, their rules. Follow their guidelines or loose the ability to use their free products.
(Interesting that when I looked up their contact info, they are located in Spain. They do have a contact phone number, I won't post it, but shops can google it)
Hope this post helped you.

Yeah - I guess I won't use them either since the Zazzle guidelines said no text/urls in cover images. This is so time comsuming just trying to find images/reviewing licenses/requirements, then figuring out where requirements conflict. I want to be working on my new mandala design - not all this nonsense, but I feel forced into it to be able to be found on Zazzle. I feel so discouraged. 🙁

Use the serenity principals, focus your energy on your political products. ( I went to your store, get into strongly increasing your political stuff, it takes time for google and z to place products in position for 2024.)
Let the cover image and mockup confusion be for others to struggle with. If your designs are what customers are looking for, regardless of how they are presented, on Z or other PODS, you will make sales. Keep on moving forward.
