In short

How do I prepare templates, cliparts and fonts so that shoppers personalise products without wrecking the design?

Cmsmart prepares your templates, cliparts and fonts in Cmsmart Product Designer: templates per product with locked layers and template fields, categorised clipart you are licensed to use, and fonts added to the designer. Assets are assigned to the right products and tested in the editor. You supply licensed assets and brand rules, and we do the setup.

Key facts: Template and clipart library setup
Scope	Templates, cliparts, fonts and backgrounds set up and assigned to products in Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce
What you get	Shoppers start from a ready design, and the brand layers they must not change are locked
Typical inputs	Licensed files (SVG, PNG, vector, font files), a brand guide, the product list with print specifications, and a confirmation that web use is licensed
Deliverables	A library structure, uploaded assets, templates with locked and editable areas, assignment tested on staging and a handover note
How pricing works	Free assessment, then a quote per project. Designing templates from scratch is quoted as its own item.

How it works

From your assets to a tested library

From your assets to a tested library. Files are checked and categorised before upload, assigned to the products they belong to, then tried in the editor the way a shopper would use them.

The problem

What does an unprepared library cost you?

Shoppers facing a blank canvas with no starting point
Unsorted cliparts that overwhelm the person choosing
Fonts or artwork whose web-use licence nobody has confirmed
Brand layers that shoppers can delete or move
Templates that exist only as PSD or AI files and cannot be edited in the browser

Fit

Is this the right service?

A good fit	Another route fits better
You sell personalised products, own artwork, fonts or icons worth offering, and have nothing organised to publish	You only need the plugin installed and configured: that is plugin setup and onboarding
You want templates with locked and editable areas in your brand style	You need a whole new product range designed: that is design work, quoted as its own item
You hold licences that allow web use	You are not sure what you are licensed to use: settle that first, because we cannot give legal advice

What we do

What is in scope?

Part	Input	Deliverable
Asset review	Your files and the licence details	A list of what can be used, and what must wait for a licence
Clipart	SVG, PNG or vector files	Cleaned, sized and categorised cliparts with tags
Fonts	Font files licensed for web use	Fonts added to the designer
Templates	Your brand guide and print specifications	Templates with locked layers, editable areas and template fields
Assignment	Your product list	Libraries and templates attached to the right products
Test	The editor on staging	Each product tried as a shopper would, with the results listed

The Cmsmart angle

What the plugin provides, and what is built for you

Templates Library is part of Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. The setup is the work of filling it well.

Core Ships in the plugin

Templates per product. Ready designs added to each product, or picked from the global template store.
Template fields. Fields such as name, title and phone put the buyer's details into the design, and photo placeholders fill with the buyer's photo.
Locked layers. Template layers can be protected from deletion, and extra layers can be blocked, so brand artwork stays intact.
Shared clipart library. A global library of 25,918 cliparts in 69 categories, loaded from Cmsmart's remote library.

Custom Built as custom development

Bulk template creation from your existing artwork
Brand template portals per company account
Variable data printing from a CSV
Template approval before publishing

Licences

Who is responsible for licences

You are. Fonts, cliparts and images must be licensed for use in a web editor and for printing on products you sell. We do not supply fonts or artwork, we do not buy licences for you and we cannot give legal advice. The shared clipart library that ships with the plugin is loaded from Cmsmart's remote library, and everything you add is yours to license.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the fonts and artwork?

The plugin includes a shared clipart library, loaded from Cmsmart's remote library. Fonts and artwork beyond that come from you, with a licence that allows web use and printing.

Can shoppers be stopped from deleting the brand logo?

Yes. Template layers can be locked so they cannot be deleted, and adding more layers can be blocked.

Can you convert our PSD or AI files into templates?

Bulk template creation from existing artwork is custom development. The assessment checks how your files are layered before it is quoted.

Can a template fill in the buyer's name?

Yes. Template fields such as name, title and phone put the buyer's details into the design.

Is this different from plugin setup?

Plugin setup installs and configures the plugin. This service fills the library: it prepares your own assets and templates and assigns them to products.
