The release includes several bug fixings. Print full-color on wood In November, we released a suite of features that will make easier to simulate a real engraving effect on product. Using Zakeke, customers now know exactly what they will receive and how an effect looks like. Today we apply the same concept to print on wood. The new feature allows you to create an effect showing the real effect of personalization on wood. How it works? When creating a Printing Method, enable the Print on Wood in Full Colors feature in the Effect section. Set an effect to simulate printing on your wooden product and the design gets the desired effect. Zakeke offers pre-made effects you can edit. An effect is composed of a blend mode and a level of opacity. Read our guide here to discover more. Personalize “CUSTOMIZE” button Watchword in Zakeke is customization. Not just product customization. At Zakeke, you can customize our tool as well. From today, it is possible to personalize the “Customize” button in Zakeke Product Configurator with another word. “Customize” button is that one opens the design section. Not clear? See the below picture. Coming soon… We are working to offer you new amazing features. A lot of interesting things are coming soon. Zakeke already supports Printful for Shopify and WooCommerce. In the coming months, the integration will also be extended to BigCommerce. Our customers with a store on BigCommerce will soon be able to choose a product from the Printful catalog on Zakeke for an easy and fast personalization. In the next few weeks, we will introduce Shapes. A new tool that enhances product configuration in Zakeke back office. You will be able to create complex print areas where each shape is independent. Think of a festoon full of shapes where the customer can upload an image in every single shape. There are many things you can do with Shapes. The feature will be released in the coming weeks.

We’ve just released a new version of Zakeke, everything good is staying and we’re adding some amazing features and some improvements to help make you even more successful with Zakeke. The release includes also several bug fixings.   1. New 3D engine and Augmented Reality We worked on a new 3d engine to make the 3d preview even more realistic and powerful! You can see the difference between the old engine and the new one here: The new engine supports Augmented Reality! Your customers are now able to see their customized item in their real world via their smartphones! See this example:   2. Premium Photos A new customization tool just landed: Premium Photos allows your customers to access over 140 million high-quality images and artworks made available by talented professionals from all over the world to personalize your products.   3. Improved image quality We worked on a general improvement for the quality of the images in the customizer. It works for both product templates and images that buyers use for their designs. Moreover, images are now lighter and it makes the customizer quicker.   4. Print file output This is an often requested improvement: to save your time you are now able to choose a single format for the print-ready files – instead of getting a full package with all of them. You can do it for each print type from your Zakeke back-office > Printing methods   5. Product quantity shown in the customizer The quantity of product selected by the customer on the product page is now also shown in the customizer in addition to the product price. In this way your customers will no longer be confused if they see the unit price on the product page but then choose quantities greater than one and in the customizer they see the total price.   6. New products from CustomCat You have access to new products from our partner CustomCat. Other than “direct to garment” products, you can now sell “sublimination” products: over 60 new categories including mugs, stainless steel water bottles, flip flops, laptop sleeves, baby clothes, canvases, blankets, posters, pet items, stickers, all over print leggings, and clothes. This is the full list.   7. 3D Product Configurator on BigCommerce The 3D Product Configurator is now available for BigCommerce merchants! You can install it from here>.   8. New partnership with Salesforce Zakeke is now available for Salesforce Commerce Cloud clients with a certified cartridge!
