Set Up Your Decoration Methods

Decoration methods are the techniques your shop uses to apply artwork to garments — things like screen printing, DTG, DTF, embroidery, HTV, and sublimation. Setting them up correctly is important because they drive how your products are priced and how the designer behaves for customers.

Enable your methods

  • Go to Settings → Decoration Methods.
  • Add each method your shop offers. Built-in methods include Screen Printing, DTG, DTF, Embroidery, HTV, and Sublimation.
  • Toggle a method on or off at any time as your offerings change.
  • Give each method a color so it's easy to recognize across the platform.
  • You can also create your own custom methods (for example, a specialty technique like patches or engraving) with a name that fits your shop.

    Choose how each method is priced

    Each method scales its price along one dimension. When you configure a method, pick the pricing dimension that matches how it actually works:

  • Print area — Price scales with square inches. Best for DTF, DTG, and sublimation.
  • Color count — Price scales with the number of colors. Best for screen printing and vinyl.
  • Stitch count — Price scales with the number of stitches. Best for embroidery.
  • Flat fee — A single per-item price. Best for patches, engraving, or custom kits.
  • Choosing the right dimension ensures customers are charged accurately when they add decorations to a product.

    Set method constraints

    Depending on the method, you can set limits that keep artwork production-ready, such as maximum print width or a color limit. These constraints power helpful cues in the designer, like the print-area boundary on the canvas and warnings when artwork exceeds what the method can handle.

    Keep methods accurate

    Because decoration methods affect pricing everywhere, it's worth reviewing them whenever your capabilities or costs change:

  • Update pricing tiers as your material or labor costs shift.
  • Turn methods on or off seasonally if needed.
  • Double-check that each method's pricing dimension still matches how you charge.
  • With your methods dialed in, your products and storefronts will price decorations correctly out of the box.
