Hi Allđź‘‹,
We love keeping you updated on all the exciting things we’re building to make your PitchPrint experience even better!
What's new🚀,
Show image picker onload - Previously, the image picker would only appear after a customer clicked on a clickable mask within the canvas. We’ve now introduced a new feature that allows the image source picker to open automatically when the design loads, making it easier for customers to begin selecting images right away.
Please note that this feature is optional and can be enabled or left disabled based on your preference.
To enable this feature, please follow the steps outlined below.
Go to https://admin.pitchprint.com/designs and click on the gear icon as shown below:
Scroll down and enable Show Image Picker onload as shown below then save.
You should see the picker automatically load once the designer has loaded. Please refer to the image below:
Automatically place images inside empty masks - You asked—we listened. Many of our customers requested the ability for end users to click on an image and have it automatically placed into an empty mask. We're excited to introduce this new feature, which does exactly that. By default, clicking an image adds it to the canvas. With this feature enabled, if there’s an empty mask available, the image will automatically fill it.
In addition, this enhancement includes automatic image placement after upload. Once a customer uploads their image(s) into the designer, the system will automatically fill any available empty masks on the canvas—streamlining the design process and improving the user experience.
Please note:
− This feature is optional and can be enabled or disabled based on your needs.
− It only works when at least one empty mask is present on the canvas. If all masks are already filled, the image will be added to the canvas as usual.
To enable this feature, please follow the steps outlined below.
Go to https://admin.pitchprint.com/designs and click on the gear icon as shown below:
Enable Auto place image in Mask as shown below:
Please note this feature will only work if the feature below is disabled:
Get design previews and thumbnails from API - We currently offer an API that enables you to fetch both the design and its associated data. However, in many custom integrations, developers often only need to retrieve preview images—for example, to display them on category pages or in areas where the design editor isn't available.
To address this need, we've introduced a new API endpoint that allows you to fetch previews independently. Please refer to the endpoint details below:
POST - https://api.pitchprint.com/runtime/fetch-design
In the body add the following code:
{
"designId": "e67deb81d5130ce53eaa71d2cbb0ccc6", //Add your designId here
"previewsOnly": true
}
Below is a developer reference that includes an example cURL request.
curl --location 'https://api.pitchprint.com/runtime/fetch-design'
--header 'Authorization: ]X^Pa2f[hmFpK(j#poSgN2%NuNtI0j'
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data '{
"designId": "37f2e3ffb7aac29b51656e4d39eb7f03",
"previewsOnly": true
}'
Should you require any assistance with this feature, please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@pitchprint.com.
We also fixed the following bugs:
Shopify Cart editor and modules - We resolved an issue in the cart editor where, upon editing a project from the cart, the editor would open but the modules associated with the project were not retained. This has now been fixed—any modules previously assigned to a design will remain available throughout the editing process.
Issue with Grommets - A few months ago, we introduced a feature called Grommets, which allows admins to add holes to designs—such as for flag poles, signs, and banners. Recently, this feature experienced an issue that caused it to stop working. We’ve identified the problem, applied a fix, and the Grommets feature should now function as expected.
That's it for this week! We'll see you next time with more exciting features and improvements. Wishing you a wonderful weekend — The PitchPrint Team🤗.
