Product
This tab includes product attributes printing and price information.
Select a printing price table, if presented with an option.
Select color and size options for you to select to place your order. If you change a quantity, product attribute, or the printing method table, the price will update automatically.
Pricing calculations for the current item with printing can be found at the bottom of this product pane.
To add a product to cart, just press “Add To Cart” button. After adding to cart, you can change design or attribute, but the cart info is not updated with new changes unless you press the Update Cart button.
Each color must be added to the shopping cart separately.
Multiple Colors – Quick Tip: When purchasing different colors of the same item, this will save you a bit of time. After saving the first color of the item to the shopping cart, immediately close the subsequent pop-up window (“X out” top right from the confirmation window). Then continue directly to the next color. You wll avoid leaving ZD to go back to the main website for each color.
To change to another product, leave Zwik Designer and return to the product listings on the website.
