  2. In the Product Builder box in the right sidebar, turn on Enable Builder.
  3. Click CONFIGURE DESIGNER to open the setup wizard.
Product Builder box on the WooCommerce product edit screen with Enable Builder and Configure Designer

Tip: If CONFIGURE DESIGNER doesn’t appear, click Save Draft first so the product has an ID.

Step 2: Add your assets

  2. Under Clipart & Elements, click Upload Element to add logos, icons or badges.
  3. Click Next.
Step 2 Add Your Assets with Canvas Backgrounds and Clipart & Elements

Tip: Upload clipart as transparent PNG files so it doesn’t look boxy.

Step 3: Configure builder features

  1. For each feature choose Global (use the Toolkit setting), Individual (this product only) or Disable (hide it on this product).
  2. Click Done, then click Update or Publish on the product.
Step 3 Configure Builder with Global, Individual or Disable for each feature

With Individual, the options Enable Custom Price, Image Limit and Allow Remove Background are greyed out and marked PRO in the free version.
