Deployment of Exciting New Design Grouping Suggestions Feature

04/21/2024:

I've deployed an exciting new feature. On the Store > Products page, you'll now see a new section that helps you create new design groups quickly and easily with automatic suggestions:

I'll need to add some help documentation soon. But it works pretty well. The tool searches your store's product list to find groups of mostly the same-name products. It does not examine the images to detect similarity of design. But in my testing, I've found that most of us tend to use the same names for our various products with same designs and just let Zazzle add the product type indicators to the end for us. This tool taps into that.

This won't be a perfect solution for everyone, of course. You may have some stragglers with different names. But you can always add those products one by one to the appropriate designs afterwards.

One feature high on my to-do list is a tool to merge two designs into one. That will be a good way to deal with cases where you accidentally create two or more design groups for the same actual design.

This should vastly accelerate your early setup process, once you complete your initial import of products for each store.
