Create Products
Products are what parents order for a photo: a print, a digital file, a mug. You create them once in the catalogue and enable them per photo job.
The product catalogue
Under Products lies your whole catalogue. The order here is the order in the shop, changeable by drag & drop.
- 1Load template: take ready-made products from the Pixalo catalogue.
- 2Create a new product from scratch.
- 3Search by name or description.
- 4Table: type, variants, price range. Handle on the left to sort, pencil and bin on the right.
Quick start with templates
Twelve ready templates with sizes and price suggestions: standard prints, digital file, sticker set, canvas, mug, poster, keychain, T-shirt, hoodie, framed print. Choose a template, adjust prices, save.
Delete with protection
If a product is assigned to an event, deleting asks for confirmation. Products already ordered stay in the orders.
The three product types
The type defines what the customer gets and how delivery works.
Physical print in one size. No download. Shipped or collected. Size is required, e.g. 10×15, 13×18, 15×20, 20×30 cm.
Digital file
Download after purchase. The customer receives the original in full resolution without watermark. Customer account required.
Photo gift
Mug, canvas, T-shirt, frame. With mockup preview in the shop and attributes like colour or size.
Create a product: print
The form has the same structure for all types. Here with a print in four sizes from the template.
- 1Product name and description as they appear in the shop.
- 2Product type. Cannot be changed later.
- 3Variants: one row per size with its own price.
- 4Order limit per access code.
- 5Shop preview: how the customer sees the product.
Variants
Name, article number, price, old price, size. The star marks the default variant preselected in the shop. The size quick pick offers 9×13 to 20×30 cm.
Article number
Leave empty and Pixalo assigns ART-00001, ART-00002 and so on. Own numbers are allowed: A to Z, digits, dot, dash, slash. The number goes into the lab export.
Attributes and combinations
For products with colour and size: create attributes, “Generate combinations” creates all variants at once. Presets for T-shirt, mug and print prefill the attributes.
Multi prints and stickers
Switchable per variant. Rows, columns and repeats define how often the photo appears on one sheet. The photo is aligned automatically.
Order limit per access code
Limits how often a product can be ordered per access code across all orders. Typical for free products: 1 per child.
Free products
Price 0 € is allowed. The form asks once and recommends an order limit so nobody orders without end.
Digital file
Digital products have no size. One variant is usually enough, e.g. “Digital file (JPEG)”.
Delivery
Online payment: download right after payment. Bank transfer: download as soon as you set the order to Completed. The download link is valid for the period set in the photo settings, counted from the order, default 7 days.
Which file
Always the uploaded original, full resolution, without watermark. A web resolution as a cheaper option can be created as its own product.
All photos at once
The customer also downloads the digital photos of an order as ZIP. A package “All digital photos” sells the whole gallery with one click, see Packages.
Photo gift with mockup
Photo gifts show the customer their photo on the product. The mockup editor does this.
Mockup editor
14 templates: frames in four colours, mugs, T-shirts, hoodies, keychain. Or upload your own base image. Drag, scale and rotate the print area, show grid and guides.
Attributes
Create colour, size or material as attributes and generate variants. Each variant gets a price and article number.
Assign products to an event
The catalogue is global. Which products appear in a gallery you decide per photo job via “Products & Packages” in the event header.
No products, no orders
How the customer sees it
In the gallery a click on a photo opens the product selection. Tabs separate digital files, prints, gifts and bundles.

Switch on in the event
On the “Group photos” card in the event, click the “Print only” chip and confirm. The default for new events lives under Settings › Photos.
What the customer sees
Group and class photos show prints and gifts only. Digital files and packages containing a file are missing, a note explains why. In the gallery the photo carries the label “Print only”.
Packages
Complete packages exclude group photos. In the photo picker, group photos are locked. Package prices do not change.
Existing events
