General Questions
Can I access your website on my device?
Yes, you can access our site from the device you are currently using. It is offered as a website and a web app, making it compatible with most devices.
Do i need an account?
Initially, you do not need to have an account to explore the website, but you will need one to properly place a purchase or to comment on topics.
Please note that the account you create on our online market or vendor store is valid for the entire site. This means that you can use the same account to access both the market and vendor store which provides a seamless experience and allows you to explore and interact with both sections of our platform using a single login.
Why am I seeing a different or incorrect header on the market or store page?
If you are experiencing a different or incorrect header on the market or store page, it may be because your browser has stored a cached version of the page. To resolve this issue, we recommend clearing your browser cache and revisiting the market or store page. This will ensure that you see the correct header displayed.
Having problem opening the site?
The reason for these errors could be that our website is incompatible with the browser you are using or that your internet connection is slow or inconsistent.
If the issue is a poor or unreliable internet connection, first make sure your connection is strong and, if necessary, reload the page.
If it’s due to a problem with the browser you’re using, make sure you’re using one of our suggested browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Explorer, or Safari. Be sure your browser is up to date and that you are running the most recent version. (If the issue persists when you are using one of our recommended browsers, try switching to one of the other options from the list above.)
Why is the Customizer page taking too long to Initialize?
The reason for these could also be that our website is incompatible with the browser you are using or that your internet connection is slow or inconsistent. Try refreshing the page or changing your browser as mentioned previously.
What should I do if the Customizer page is not opening properly?
On phones and tablets, if the Product Customizer won’t open properly or only displays a portion of the designing tools, don’t worry; this may be due to the various display limitations of each device, or you might also be using a relatively aged device.
To fix the issue, all you need to do is adjust the screen orientation according to the device you are using:
➢ For mobile phones use Portrait mode
➢For tablets use Landscape mode
Why does it take a long time to proceed from the Customizer page to the Cart?
If an upload takes longer than you anticipated, don’t worry. It may be that you used a huge photo file or that the upload file (design) contains several pieces (clip art, shapes, or templates). Everything is uploaded at its highest possible quality to ensure the best print quality, which may take some time.
It might also result from a slow internet connection (weak connection lead to longer upload time).
Try switching your browser if it still won’t “Redirect” you to the Cart page (Change your browser to one of our recommendations above), However, you can rest assured that it will let you know as soon as the finished design is submitted to the Cart page. So wait a few minutes.If the uploading does not finish, it is most likely because your internet connection is weak, which will cause a break in the process. Refresh the cart page to see whether the design went through,; if not, refresh the designer and repeat the procedure.
N.B. If you have multiple designs in your designer, save them first so that none of them get lost. Then remove them from your designs and attempt to add them to the cart one at a time.
How to fill Delivery Location field at Checkout?
By default, the field will automatically populate with your current location. If this does not occur, you can manually enter the address, and our autocomplete feature will provide suggestions to assist you in quickly finding the desired address. Once you have selected your preference, you can use the map to adjust the pin and precisely pinpoint your location.
N.B. Please ensure that your device’s location is enabled. If a pop-up appears requesting permission to share your location with our website, select “Allow”. This will enable us to provide you with accurate and tailored services based on your current location.
Would like to get a greater quantity of given product can i get quote for this? or just looking for additional design/customization?
Please contact our customer service if you would like products in bulk or if you have any other needs or inquiries so that we can assist you more effectively.
Why is the Language Translation process taking longer than expected?
We apologize for any delays you may be experiencing during the translation process. The translation speed can be influenced by various factors, including the network conditions.
When you request a translation, the text is sent to our translation system, which processes and generates the translated output. This process requires a stable and fast internet connection to ensure seamless communication between your device and our servers.
If the network connection is slow or unstable, it can result in longer processing times for the translation. Network congestion or other network-related issues can affect the speed at which the translation is delivered to you.
We recommend ensuring that you have a stable and reliable internet connection to minimize any potential delays during the translation process. If you continue to experience prolonged delays, please contact our support team for further assistance.
