Custom Promotional Items

07/14/2022 15:13

Two weeks ago we developed a new module for selling custom promotional items.

Now end customers can buy products “as is” or change premade design. For example, they can add congratulation note.

The module can be configured in the control panel’s section “Print/Merch”. You can align designs (templates and cliparts) with products on which they can be printed.

We suppose that in the next two months the similar module will be integrated into new version of the Acronym mobile application.

Layout Checking in the Design Editor

06/29/2022 18:04

After the last Acronym service update the design editor has the function for checking page coverage percentage of spreads, printing surfaces and frames in the created layout. Error data is displayed on the right sidebar.

Now a client can approve a layout in the modal preview window while adding a product to the shopping cart.

To learn how this function works for photobooks, visit our demo website.

Design Editor as Plugin to CMS

06/23/2022 21:00

The core of any retail printing on demand service is the editor allowing users to create bespoke designs.

Manufacturability of commercial web-to-print solutions is assessed by the quality of their editor. Often, it can’t be used separately and doesn’t render well on mobile devices.

We’ve done more and made our editor not only responsive and easy to use, but also available for usage on any external website as a plugin. Product price can be calculated through Acronym internal algorithms or sent to the editor externally.

02/17/2022 16:00

New delivery page

08/04/2021 19:00

One of the major novelties of this summer will be a release of the new photo book editor, the beta version of which will be available on the demo website with the new update (13.07.2021).

Its main differences from the design editor are:

  • A modern interface like in the world's best online editors.
  • An artificial intelligence algorithm for the automatic photo filling with its positioning in the frame compared to the people in the picture.
  • Changing of the page designs, page spreads, placing photos and frame sets by dragging objects with the mouse (Drag&Drop).
  • Objects grouping, aligning objects relatively to each other along the guides, and canceling actions (Undo/Redo).
  • Bank of modern cliparts and design elements.
  • Bank of ready-made photo frames.

Testing new delivery page

06/18/2021 13:31

The main theme of the next update, scheduled for early July, will be the new delivery page.

The new delivery page will allow you to choose the order delivery point both from your offices and from the transport companies points directly on the map. In case of a courier delivery, it will be possible to choose a house and set the apartment or office number in the same way.

Since the page is fundamentally different from the current one, it will be connected separately. If you are interested in its early implementation to the website, we invite you to join the testing starting next week. This will allow us to take into account all the requests for the update.

As before, to test any new functionality before updating, please contact our specialist.

The editor, in turn, checks the match of the real size of the layout with those set up in the calculator. Also, the set-up sizes can be changed right in the editor, after which the price of the order will be recalculated automatically.

05/05/2021 10:39

In the Acronym service has appeared an integration with the popular CRM system Bitrix24. The integration allows transferring orders and users from Acronym to Bitrix24, as well as exchange order statuses.

Note that this editor is used in many popular software development environments. We also added a switch between the code editor (“Markup”) and the visual editor (“Design”) to the markup editing pages.

Language URL constant

01/27/2021 18:00

With the last update, Acronym has obtained a new language URL constant in the form of the sign “~”. It will be useful for websites with multiple languages.

The constant is added in the markup before the links so that the user stays at the language that was chosen on the website while switching a language. Due to this constant, it is no longer necessary to add a prefix at the links for each language in the website markup.

Example of usage: /printing.

Template statistics

01/20/2021 10:21
