Product Option Customizer & Product Bundler: Creating and Applying Materials for Custom Products

When designing custom products, you might find yourself repeatedly creating the same option categories and uploading the same images to different products. For example, if you have a collection of cat images that you want to use across various products, you may need to categorize them by breed, color, and more, then upload each image one by one for every product. This can be time-consuming and inefficient. 

To streamline this process, the Preview Design customizer in the Product Option Customizer & Product Bundler app offers a Material Library feature. This feature allows you to upload your design materials to a centralized library once and reuse them across multiple products, saving you valuable time.
