NOTE: Some products may have multiple elements which require a design, such as a leather bottle opener where we allow you to create unique designs on the Front and Back sides of the product!

2. Design Your Product:

Select Create Design to launch the MEM Design Studio.
Use the design elements to create your custom design.
Click Preview to view your design as customers will see it.
Enter text for the Preview Image and download PNG images for each color variant.
Click Save to finalize the design.

This is the canvas for creating your own custom design.

Here you will find the design elements available to create your design.

Click "Preview" to preview your design and see what your customers will see.

Here you can enter the Text as you would like to appear in the Preview Image for this product in the "Text Box" and Download PNG Images for each variant color by clicking "Download".

When you are done, click "Save".

After clicking Save, Preview Design will open. Here you can enter the Text as you would like to appear in the Preview Image for this product in the "Text Box".

After entering the text, click "Save".

Note: For custom designs requiring certain specifications, create your design using software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop before uploading it to the My Easy Monogram Design Studio. Remember, the final product size may differ slightly from the specified dimensions, so adjust your design accordingly to ensure it fits your needs.

Creating Mock Ups

1. Open Mock Up Studio:

Click Add New Scene to start creating mock ups.

2. Select or Create a Background:

Toggle on an existing scene or select Create New to add a new background.

Enter the "Title" for your new scene and select "Create New Scene".

3. Add and Adjust Design:

Here you will find the design elements available to create your design.

Select the "Background" element, then choose an existing image or click "Add New Image" to import a new background image for your Mock Ups.

Select the "Add Image" element. Your new product design will be imported to your mock up.

Resize and position the design as needed.
Click Save & Continue.

Note: A drop shadow effect is automatically applied to designs in the My Easy Monogram Design Studio. This effect enhances the visual depth and realism of the product mockups. While it improves the overall presentation, it's essential to keep this in mind when designing, as the final product will not include the drop shadow effect.

Editing Product Details & Understanding Variant Options & Pricing

1. Review and Edit Product Details:

Click Continue to Details.
Edit the product's Title and Description. My Easy Monogram provides pre-written descriptions for each product, but you can customize these to better fit your store’s voice and branding. Feel free to make the description your own!
Note on Tags: Tags are used internally within the MEM app for product management and do not transfer into Shopify.

Description: Here you can edit your products "Title", "Description" & "Tags". My Easy Monogram has created descriptions for each product. If you’d like to update the copy, this is the place to do it.

2. Review Pricing:

Ensure pricing, compare pricing, and profit margins are correctly set. Remember: the cost is what you pay for the product and the price is what your customer pays.
Adjust based on Global and Advanced Pricing Settings if needed.
Remove product variants if necessary by using the toggle button to the right of each variant.

Note: The SKU must maintain key elements for product identification but can be shortened if necessary to meet Etsy's requirements. For example, a SKU like "MEM-346-00-12-Black-Mild Steel-0.06-1" can be shortened to "MEM-346-00-12-Black" to ensure compatibility with Etsy's platform while preserving essential product details.

3. Verify Images:

Ensure pre-loaded images accurately represent the product variants.

Importing Product to Shopify

1. Publish Product:

Click Publish to import your product to Shopify.
