Hello, I would love to have a full color folded card with a foil layer.  Currently the only folded option available is all foil with no color layer ( https://www.zazzle.com/pd/spp/pt-zazzle_foilcard?envelopetype=matte&foilcolor=gold&media=175ptmatte&orientation=vert&style=greetingcard&zattribution=zazzle&design.shade=light&groups={standard} )   ...

It currently takes a very long time to set up a thorough store category tree in Zazzle. If I am making a listing for an item that should be placed in a new category several sub-categoies deep, it takes so many clicks! Aside on the Maths of Making A New Category - Skip this if youre in a rush To make a top-level category, it takes 2 clicks: New, and 'Edit Category'. That's not bad. But the deeper your tree goes, the clicks goes way up. 2nd level category: 4 clicks (New > Select > Click top-level category to nest under > 'Edit Category') 5th level category: 7 clicks (New > Select > Click top-level category, 2nd level, 3rd level, 4th level > 'Edit Category') If you were making a 5th level category from scratch, that would make 2+4+5+6+7=24 clicks. And this is all if you do it while creating a product listing. If you do it in category management, you also have to factor in whole pages loading for each click. New Idea: Text Editor Here is my idea. It would be great if there were a plain text editor to plan out the department tree. It could use a symbol like a > to indicate a subcategory For example, a tree for clothing and then womens clothing and then shirts could be typed out like this: Apparel > Womens > Tops A whole apparel tree may look like this: Apparel Apparel > Womens Apparel > Womens > Tops Apparel > Womens > Tops > T-Shirts Apparel > Womens > Tops > Sleeveless Tops Apparel > Womens > Tops > Outerwear Apparel > Womens > Tops > Outerwear > Sweaters Apparel > Womens > Bottoms Apparel > Womens > Bottoms > Leggings Ideally there would also be a functionality where if you tried to delete a line / category, you would be prompted where you'd like those items to be moved - to a new category or to an 'unsorted' category. The benefit of a system like this would be the speed at which one could make new categories - as fast as typing. This would be multiplied by being able to copy lines and edit them, to make a new department and all its subcategories even faster. For example, I could copy the above line and change Womens to Mens. Another benefit would be the clarity. I can see the whole tree on one screen. It's easier to tell if I am missing a category or need to copy one from say, the Mens branch to the Womens branch. Another alternative way to design the category tree could be a flowchart. Again, the ability to copy and paste pieces would be very important to increasing efficiency of tree editing. One last suggestion I would like to make is that clearly Zazzle already has a very good department tree set up. There probably are people who don't want to mess around with having to invent their own, especially if they are new to Zazzle and POD in general. It could save a lot of time for such people if the personal category tree could just be a copy of the Zazzle Department tree. And then simply hiding categories on the Store page if they are unused i.e. contain 0 products. Thank you to anyone who read all this. I know it's a long post. And I acknowledge any efforts to improve the category system would be a huge undertaking in time and effort. I hope my ideas can be helpful to that end.   ... View more

I checked out the new Instagram videos for the making of products and was disappointed. They went too fast and were too narrow to gain any concept of how things are done. YouTube is a far better format for this with the time, natural speed, and wide format and can, therefore, be vastly more informative. Back a number of years ago, it's how "Maker Moments" was done, and it was an excellent series. Is it not possible to go back to YouTube? (I don't mean with their new "shorts.") Colorwash's Home ...

Hi, often times I have scenes or objects that I have grouped because they have a number of elements but then I cannot use the tiling function.  I don’t know why the system would be confused if the item was already considered a single entity.  Is there a reason why grouping and tiling have to be mutually exclusive?

<mod edit: I split this out from our ongoing discussion about instant downloads> I am not sure if you already have such a thing, but I wonder re future innovations and newly introduced features Zazzle could have a board of ' creator members' whose questions, thoughts and advice have proved helpful in previous forum discussions. Before things 'go live', feedback, suggestions and trouble shooting concerns could be discussed and opinions sought. Having the feedback after things go live is costly I feel (time, productivity etc.).  I always assumed such a group did exist (perhaps with Diamond members) because it seems logical and practical, but on the off chance it doesn't, this could be something helpful to Zazzle and members going forward. I appreciate we can't all be involved in 'pre-live' feature discussions. Thank you for considering this if it's not already a thing. ... View more

Another thing customers request information on when ordering digital downloads is advice re what card/paper to purchase for home printing. A link to an informative article re this in item description could be helpful. It has too many variables I believe to be added to description or could simply add something to effect of: 100lb - 120lb is recommended for invitations/greeting cards, depending on your own printer capabilities. This will save queries to Designer and Customer Services. ... View more

Hello! I normally finish my custom designs using the Zazzle designing tool and I find it will be nice for me if I can use the following features: 1. Once I use the tiling effect I would like to be able to move the pattern to the position I want because I can change the size but not the position without creating blank spaces in the pattern. 2. It will be awesome to add some effects to the text tool and also use the mask function with the text. Thanks!   ... View more

Sometimes I would like to slightly adjust an image by stretching it - that is, not keeping the proportions whilst enlarging it. The norm is for proportions to be retained. To do this I would have to open the image in image-editing software, make the adjustment, then re-upload to Zazzle. I wonder if there could be the option to do this directly on the page while creating a design.  ... View more

I get a number of questions from people who've already ordered, or are about to order, and they are not sure if the envelopes are included.  When I go to check if it is even possible for the specific item (postcard or not) I admit it may be confusing if you aren't familiar with the site or ordering invitations.  It might be more clear for the envelope drop downs to read something along the lines of: Envelopes (select) YES - blank white  NO - skip the envelopes And have it be a required choice before adding to the cart. And if that choice could be listed as part of the description on the cart and order confirmations as well (maybe this is already the case, but I don't remember seeing it last time I ordered card samples, but it's been a white.) : ) ...

Hi Guys! Just went to my store backend to sort sales, and had the thought - gee, it would be GREAT if I could sort by Editor's Picks! So I wanted to suggest that perhaps, when you have another upgrade to the platform coming up, if it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to flag for editor's picks like we sort by last month's sales, all time sales, etc? Thanks for considering this idea! ... View more

It would be really helpful / useful to be able to sort our royalty history columns so that we can view our data sorted by clicking on a heading or a sort by drop down selector.  For example: if I want to sort my royalty history by Product? Ship To Location? Royalty? I just think it would be cool if we wanted to short lets say by Ship To location to see all the sales in order of the location it orders were shipped to, or sort by royalty percentage to see how profitable our sales are. here is a mockup Edit Filters I crudely created just to show what I am requesting   ...

Today I was searching for a way to change my payment method on the Zazzle black settings.  My payment method was outdated, so I wanted to auto renew it with the correct account.  There is no where to do this in the account level.  So, I had to delete the old payment method, hence dropping my auto renewal payment.  If I could've changed it within my account, it would be simple for me.  I suppose deleting the old, and then adding the new will have to do, but seems odd today for this to be.  There are more reasons today than ever that we would have to change our payment methods.  I just think it would be more customer friendly and easier, to control our payment method on the account level, instead of bugging a customer service rep or doing what I just did. ...

I’d like to suggest a vertical product view image for the large Hershey’s candy bars. Also, the ability to change their design placement from horizontal to vertical inside the design tool. The candy bars could work really well for vertical designs. Right now, it’s hard to express those designs to a potential customer. It’s harder if the design also has editable templates.
