Multiple - Split Canvas Configuration
Go to Admin >> Products >> Add Product
To add a Canvas Product: choose the product type as ‘Canvas’.
Once you select the product type as Canvas a ‘Product sub-type’ field will be populated with options – Single Photo Canvas, Multiple Photo(s) Canvas, and Split Photo Canvas.
Choose Multiple Photo(s) Canvas or Split Photo Canvas.
Note: All the details and configuration steps explained further in the document will be applied to both Canvas Product Type – Multiple and Split.
Also, when the product sub-type is Multiple or Split, the product pricing method changes to ‘Size based Price (Dynamic Size)’. And you don’t get to edit the Price defining method.
Thinking about the product configuration and requirements we have omitted the Designer Options page. The Product Details page will redirect you to the price configuration of the canvas.
As the price defining method is chosen is Size Based Price (Dynamic size), you’ll get to define a range for your product.
However, you can always define custom sizes for your product from Settings.
Next, is to define the Additional Options for the Canvas Product.
Follow the instructions given here and create your Additional Options.
Also, for the additional options of canvas product with Size Based Price (Dynamic size), the Price Calculation Type – Multiply Only with Perimeter will not work.
The Option Rules, Metatag Description, Product Gallery, and Settings of Canvas Type Product remain the same as the Standard Product. For any assistance, you can anytime contact the Technical Team.
This is where you will have to bind all your Additional Options with the Events (created by OPS TEAM). This binding will lead to the visualization of the Canvas Product at the frontend otherwise your Canvas product will remain static.
To bind the Additional Options with Pre-defined events, follow the instructions given here, if you face any issues, then please contact the technical team.
Note: If there are no additional options for your product then you can use the Canvas Default Events feature.
Wall Size: The total size in which all the sub-canvases of either the Multiple Photo(s) Canvas or the Split Photo Canvas is called the ‘Wall Size’.
Example –
The first canvas has a wall-size of 36 X 42 and the second canvas has a wall-size of 24 X 50.
In this step, we will configure the art-pieces (sub-canvases).
Click on the Add button to configure the wall and its canvases dimensions. Let’s consider below image for reference –
To configure the above wall, first, define the wall size.
- Give a suitable title as this will be visible to the customers.
- Next, define the height and width. The height entered according to the example is 600 MM and the width is 1100 MM.
- As one can easily make out from Image 11, that there are 3 different sizes of layouts in the canvas.
- As, two of them i.e. 250 X 200 and 400 X 200 are repeated twice, thus in their layout count we have entered 2 in the Layout Count Column.
- And, as the layout with dimension 500 X 200 appears only once, its layout count is 1.
Similarly, you can configure other wall sizes and the art-pieces. Also, one canvas product (in this example the split canvas) can have multiple wall sizes, there is no need to add another product and define a new wall size.
Note: Never miss to mention the layout count. If there are more than one layouts of the same size, then rather than making new entries we advise you to enter the layout count.
