Frequently asked questions

What is an image template in DropFlowLister?

An image template is a layout DropFlowLister uses to build your listing's main photo. It places product photos into slots and adds overlays such as borders, badges, text, and your logo. You pick the template in Flow Lister, and it's added to the photos of every listing in that run.

Are eBay and Poshmark image templates separate?

Yes. eBay templates are made in the Image Template Editor, and Poshmark templates are made in the Poshmark Template Builder. Each marketplace's Flow Lister only shows its own templates. Templates work for eBay and Poshmark listings today, and more marketplaces are in development.

How do I create a new image template?

Pick a store, click New Template, type a Template Name, and pick a layout preset. Adjust the slots, then click Save Template.

How do layout presets work in the Image Template Editor?

Layout presets are starting layouts: Single, 2 Images, 3 Images, 4 Images, and 2×2 Grid. After you pick one, you can drag and resize each slot.

How do I add, move, resize, or rotate image slots?

Click Add Slot, then drag the slot to move it or drag its corners and edges to resize it. Use Slot Properties to type exact sizes, set Rotation (°), or lock the aspect ratio.

What is the difference between Contain and Cover?

Contain shows the whole photo inside the slot, which may leave empty space. Cover fills the whole slot and may crop the edges of the photo.

How do I add a border, badge, watermark, or text?

Open the Basic Overlays tab and click Border, Badge, Watermark, or Text. Then drag the overlay where you want it on the canvas. Overlays include borders, badges, watermarks, text, and your own images. For your own images, you can set the width, height, position, opacity, and rotation.

How do I add "#1 Best Seller" or "Limited Time Deal" badges?

Open the Basic Overlays tab and click #1 Best Seller or Limited Time Deal. Only use these badges when they're true for the product.

How do I upload my own logo or graphic to a template?

Open the Custom Images tab and click Upload Custom Image. The image is saved inside the template, so small files work best.

How do I set a default image template?

Turn on Set as default template, then click Save Template. The default is picked automatically for that store.

How do I use the header banner?

Turn on Default Header Banner under Canvas Settings and set the Banner Height (160 px by default). The banner runs across the top of the image.

How do I export or import an image template?

Click Export JSON to download the template as a file. Click Import JSON and pick a file to add it to the current store. Use this to back up designs, move templates between stores, or share a template with your team.

Are image templates tied to a store?

Yes. Each template belongs to one store, and the template menu only shows templates for the store you picked. You can save many templates, name each one, set one as the default, and switch between them, for example for different stores or product types.

Why does the editor say "Add at least one slot or overlay"?

This message means the template is empty. Pick a layout preset or click Add Slot, then save again.

What should I do when I see "Save failed" or "Failed to load templates for this store"?

These messages mean the editor couldn't reach the server or your sign-in expired. Check your connection, reload the page, and sign in again if needed.

What canvas size should I use for each marketplace?

The eBay editor starts at 1300 × 1308 px, and the Poshmark editor starts at 1080 × 1440 px. Keep these defaults unless you have a reason to change them, because each marketplace sets its own image rules.

Do I need design software to use the Image Template Editor?

No. You build the whole template inside DropFlowLister on a visual canvas. Click to select, drag to move, use the corner and edge handles to resize, and use the arrow keys to nudge items into place.

Does my image template apply to my listings automatically?

Yes, once you pick it. Choose the template in Flow Lister and click Apply. From then on, Flow Lister adds the template to the product photos of every listing in that run, with no editing per listing.
