I have seen this on other personalization or photo editing apps: when using the crop tool, there is a button or check mark for "square" which pops in an exact square that you can scale larger and smaller and move around the photo so that you know you have a perfectly square crop. This would be really helpful for templates here. Thanks!

It would be wonderful if we could have categories for collections, at least on the back end. Then we could move whole segments of collections around, such as moving all the Christmas collections to the front for the holiday season. It would also make rearranging collections much easier in the back end.

Here are a few suggestions to aid with the ginormous task facing creators, updating collections. I've calculated it would take me 2yrs working full time to update all my collections to the degree the options require. This time frame can be reduced with some tweaks and additions and I think given Zazzle want all of us on board with collections, the more we can reduce the massive workload on creators the better for all. My reasons for not doing things by halves and wanting to make the most of your snazzy new features: I love the new collection feature and I love the new media options (LOVE LOVE LOVE! Did I mention I LOVE them!!) but the need to self-market is more pressing than ever due to editors picks dominating most niches (several pages deep) combined with the 'most popular' and 'lowest price' filters not working means there is significantly reduced visibility in the marketplace based on organic searches. The searches I run for popular items just show editors picks and as we know customers do not tend to go beyond the first 5 pages of products. So how do we get seen? Covers and Collections won't bump us above editors picks. Self-marketing has to be a priority and these cover and collection options really help with that and so I want to do my best to make the most of these snazzy new features! Please help me and other creators eager to jump on board with the changes to do so. If you could though help us out on the workload that would be a game changer for all of us and I have a few suggestions I hope you can consider 🙏 Re email to customers: Can we set a generic email that is by default added to ALL our collections and we can 'edit' it if we need to for individual collections rather than having to edit for every single collection. Re collection banners: Can we set a generic 'profile style banner' that is by default added to ALL our collections and we can 'edit' it if we need to for individual collections rather than having to 'create one' for every single collection. Please can you automate the media images so that by default it will add the first 10 product (creator-made) cover images it encounters inside a collection to the media selection (again we can edit if we choose to). Allow us to add products or change default store set by Zazzle for collections: Not being able to do so results in us having to start over creating a new collection and even then we can't add the products we want to add? Please can you remove the thing that stops us from doing so. Please provide us with a mockup generator Please allow transparent backgrounds on our media downloads Please create a database of stock images we can use for covers. Please create a datebase of photos of people we can use for placeholders. Zazzle ... we creators eat, sleep, wash repeat Zazzle. We really do. Your changes are wonderful but they do set off a chain reaction, in that we have a lot of work to accommodate them. I know you're probably already working on some new features because your team is forever creating and innovating, which we value. Please though, consider these suggestions as anything that can reduce our workload means a better experience for creators and as such customers and as such Zazzle. With regards to the databases for images, I am sure if you reach out to the community, WE ourselves could provide you with a range of stock images that could work as per the VIP thing that was in place years ago BUT with images available to download by creators, not customers. Just thinking as I type .... Any more suggestions are greatly welcomed!

Any chance fabrics could receive the same level of support as all of Zazzle's other offerings? While not technically discontinued, the product line seems to have been all but abandoned. For some reason, the design tool has never been upgraded to the new version, and the "old" design tool is incredibly laggy (so you can't even see what you're doing or how it will look, you just have to...guess?) and locks up frequently. It also lacks the features of the modern design tool, many of which would be incredibly useful for fabric designs, like removing white from the background of an image. Beyond this, the only in situ for fabrics is quite poor -- it's just a piece of fabric hanging on a wall, which does not present the product in a good light. Most customers would likely purchase fabric to make pillows, curtains, items of clothing, etc. Why not add in situ images on these types of products? Or at the very least, a shot of the fabric on a sewing table, perhaps with a sewing machine, scissors, and spools of thread nearby? Fabric used to be one of my top sellers. These days, I rarely design new fabrics because the technical issues and lack of features associated with the old design tool make things incredibly tedious, with no way to really design or showcase a great product. Is there a reason fabrics can't have the same design options as a similarly tiled product, like wrapping paper? An upgrade to the new design tool, better in situ images, and more promotion on Zazzle's main pages would make a world of difference!

I'm pretty sure this was discussed in the old forum but I don't know if it's in the works to be fixed?? I've seen other designers mention this, so I know I'm not the only one who accidentally sends garbled, unedited, half-messages by hitting the return button in chat. Since I'm not a very good typist, my answers usually require a lot of editing before I dare hit send....and with Chat I'm often left red-faced; my goobledygook has been sent and it can't be edited. Sigh.

Hello, The One thing which I keenly look for just after login every time is the Bell or notification icon. Any new sale, or a favorite, or added to a collection alerts just makes my day, boosts creativity. But I never get any notification for Editor's Pick ... the only way I find that out is by randomly checking my collections or if I ever check emails. Please make 'Editor's Pick' notifications live on Zazzle ... that is encouraging. Thank you 🙂

The horizontal rule, where we can adjust colour and thickness, is very useful. It would be good if we could further customise it to change to a dotted rule, and maybe a dashed rule too. Useful for where we might want to place a line for a signature or where handwritten text would be added by the buyer - such as on stationery items or stickers etc.

For those who are not yet aware of the biggest online news story right now, Paypal have been forced to U-turn on a policy to fine their users $2,500 if they have been judged to post any 'mis-information' online... judged by Paypal, that is. For obvious reasons, people started closing their Paypal accounts in droves... and still are, despite the company saying it was 'a mistake'. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/delete-paypal-searches-spike-after-2-500-misinformation-fine-controversy-11665427396 The fact is that they do want to implement that policy, and that shows them to not be a 'real' bank, but instead a politically motivated company that their customers simply cannot trust to hold their money. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Paypal have now laid their cards on the table. The $2,500 fine fiasco follows the closing of the UK's 'Free Speech Union' account without explanation. https://a2zfacts.net/articles/paypal-closes-account-of-uks-free-speech-union-without-explanation/ No 'real' bank would be allowed to do this unless an actual crime had been committed in the country where the account holder was based. That was not the case. Again, this was politically motivated by what 'Paypal believes' is or isn't free speech. And again, no 'real' bank would be allowed to do this. I decided a few months ago to delete Paypal from my life completely because I was expecting something like the above to occur, and I firmly believe not only in the ideal of free speech, which has always been at the very core of democracy, but also because I want to know my money is in safe hands, and fully protected by the law of the land. That's what a 'real' bank offers. I believe that Zazzle has a responsibility to its creators to at least provide alternatives to online payment of earnings, when the one company that we are forced to adopt has begun closing some of its users' accounts, without any explanation, and has shown that it intends to adopt - at some point in the future - a fining policy of thousands of dollars for anyone 'it decides' has breached its own 'misinformation' rules. Zazzle currently offers an alternative of payment by check, but if the company wants to present itself as a global and forward thinking company, other online payment options are surely the only realistic policy to put in place. Currently, there is a significant backlash against Paypal and the term #BoycottPaypal is trending fast. What if Paypal were to collapse at some point in the future, or not be able to operate, for any reason? What if it now becomes the main target of hacking and is regularly offline? Who knows what the future will bring. The only sensible action is to cover your bases. Without an alternative payment option in place, Zazzle can only rely on Paypal, for better or for worse. Surely, Zazzle can easily offer alternative methods of earnings payments. After all, the company offers the usual banking alternatives for customer payments. This also raises the obvious question of why Zazzle can't simply pay my earnings into a 'real' bank account? However, if online payment systems are the only realistic option for Zazzle, then alternative options are the only true way to guarantee financial security going forward, for both Zazzle and creators! Having all your eggs in one basket is simply not a wise or realistic way to operate a global business. I believe Zazzle should look at this urgently. What do you think? Until Zazzle provide this basic provision to its creators, I am forced to look at the check payment alternative. Does anyone have any experience of this? How long will I have to wait for a check to arrive at a UK address each month?

I know several people have asked for a way to tell if a particular product is in a collection on the product page, but we really need a way to see at a glance IN THE BACK END, if the products are in a collection. This way, if they are not, we can select several products at once and add them all to a collection. It's time consuming to click each product to see if it is in a collection.

So I just started to try my hand at bedding and started with the pillow cases - now, don't most people match their pillow cases to their sheets? How about some bed sheets? Best if top and bottom sheet could be purchased separately as there is a great divide now a days from people who use both sheets to people who use just one sheet.

When I look at the pillowcases, I see nothing that would indicate what they are with the images that are presented. They look more like a placemat. Could we perhaps have an insitu or two showing them on a real pillow on a real bed? I bet that would bring in more sales. Thanks! https://www.zazzle.com/colorful_summer_garden_floral_pillow_case-256480860531584898

Sometimes you make a new store, or accidentally make a product in the wrong store. Is there a way Zazzle can make it so we can switch which store our product is in?

When new products are added to a collection, they currently appear at the bottom of the page, requiring creators to either manually drag them upwards, which can be cumbersome. Furthermore, a customer who is browsing a collection, needs to continuous scrolling down in order to access the new items. To enhance user-friendliness, proposing the implementation of a straightforward dropdown menu on the collection page. This dropdown could be positioned at the top right, just below the banner image and next to the 'Share' button. The dropdown would offer the following sorting options: - Sort by Newest - Sort by Relevance/Popularity - Sort by Price Low to High - Sort by Price High to Low This approach would simplify the process for customers to view and access the desired products within the collection, ensuring a more enjoyable browsing experience.

I’d love to be able to add products to collections directly from the “Post Product for Sale” page. Maybe right under the area where we choose the store and category. And as I think about it, submitting Cover photos is something else that might be included at that step, similar to adding category images if you create a “New” category. Maybe it’s time for a “Post Product for Sale” page revamp. I think it would be a time saver and be way more efficient to do as much as possible up front for each listing. Others may have additional ideas for efficiency tweaks. I’d love to see them.

Ever since we have gotten the new situ views for paper plates I have notice an increase in sales this is fabulous! It would be great if we can create views for tissue paper - table number cards and especially posters. Maybe tissue in a bag - a table number card on a stand on a table - poster on an easel? As easy as it is for us designers to imagine these items when they are appear flat it is for whatever reason difficult for buyers to picture what they would look like as actual products. I am sure some others have asked and I know you all are busy but I just wanted to note what a big difference have notice with such a little change as the new plate situs - hoping we can incorporate with these other items that appear "flat" (in product view) in the near future. Thanks much

I think oven mitts and pot holders would be a great addition to the kitchen products already available. A coordinated set of an apron, a kitchen towel and a pair of oven mitts or pot holders makes a really nice gift.

The notifications do not currently link to the specific product that is shown in them, but simply to general areas in the backend, leaving you to search for the object you have been notified about. I hope this can be upgraded so that where where there is an image, it takes you to that specific product. For example, I'll often see a notification that says "you have one product that needs optimization." Let's say I think, wow, I really want to fix that item and get it back into marketplace. But if I click on that notification it brings me to the big general listing of all of my products that need optimization instead of to the specific product I just saw an image of. I would have to hunt - sometimes through several pages, to find that item I'd been notified about. So I wind up not doing anything about it at that moment. It would be much more effective as a prompt if I could click on the image and immediately fix or delete the item that needs optimization. The sales notifications also bring you to a generic page - the page with all recent sales. That works for me, and I think it's less important for those notifications to go to the item page. However, it would be really helpful if those optimization prompts took me right through to the specific product so I can take action on it. I would definitely get more done.

I think custom garden products would be hot sellers.... custom garden aprons (aprons specifically designed for garden use) with pockets for tools and without pockets custom garden signs wooden or plastic printable / customizable custom garden stones / stepping stones... these would be a blast to design custom flower pots / planters with or without saucers custom suncatchers: not specifically a garden item but I threw this one in anyway 🙂 They can be plastic or acrylic printable (acrylic would be best) round or square - or rectangle shapes. In plastic they could be printed onto the plastic in acrylic they can have a printed insert... the sane way the acrylic desk nameplates work

I don't know if this has ever been suggested, but when adding a product to more than one collection, it would be nice if we could do it all at once (i.e. click to check off multiple tickboxes) and then hit a "Submit" button when we're done, instead of having to add them one by one to a collection. We also need a "Remove from Collections" options, with the same ability above (to remove from multiple collections). Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Tech Dept. You are doing a FABULOUS job with all of the new changes! Yay! As DESIGNERS, our store FRONT is our MAIN advertisement. I've noticed that on all of the store images that look very crisp, clean, elegant, and white, as I upload my images to my store front, the quality seems to be lost, and especially the whites becomes greys. Hmmmmm, & I'm assuming there is an automatic gradient added to our images. Please consider REMOVING this and allow our images we've worked so very hard to create for our product images and store front to be EXACTLY what we created. Please, consider and respect our images. Thank you kindly.
