Product Labels
v2.4.1

Manage Templates

Templates helps to create and reuse styled label templates which can be reused for as many labels as needed. Templates help to configure similar styled labels without duplicating same styles from label to label and speed-up the configuration of labels themselves.
Templates are not required part of the extension. Labels can be created without templates. In this case labes will be rerndered the same way they where rendered befor Templates were introduced.

All templates are located at Marketing -> Promotions -> Product Labels -> Manage Templates section. From there, you can edit, remove, or create a new Placeholder. The extension provides a few preconfigured templates which can be used for labels and also edited or duplicated for creating new templates.
