Customize a product

Learn how to customize your product.

Use this guide to modify any existing product record in your catalog. You'll update areas such as Overview, Pricing, Discount, Related Offers, Advanced, Fulfillment, and Manage Product actions. Once you save your changes, your product will reflect the new details live in your store.

Quick start

  1. Sign in to the FastSpring app.
  2. Go to Catalog > Products.
  3. Select the product you want to customize. The product details page opens, displaying every section you can edit.

Review the guided steps in each section below to make your product updates. If you need to create a new product first, see Create or copy a product.

  2. Click Choose File to upload an icon image for your product.

    Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF (max 1 MB)

    Icons for web checkouts can be up to 256 × 256 px. Pop-up carts support up to 46 × 46 px. Any file outside those dimensions will be resized automatically.
