Weekly Recap: Offer-Level Backgrounds, Jersey Filters & Pop Rocks Theme 🎆

Weekly Recap: Offer-Level Backgrounds, Jersey Filters & Pop Rocks Theme 🎆
Hey friends! It’s Candy, back again with updates on all things NowCandid.

‍

This week? We’re talking backgrounds, jersey-spotting magic, and some serious product glow-ups. Let’s dig in! 🍬✨

‍

🎨 Offer-Level Background Customization Is Here!

‍

Now, you can set custom backgrounds at the Offer level!

‍

  • • Pick from hundreds of preloaded background options
  • • Or upload your own (yep, your own!)
  • • Drag and drop to arrange their order just how you like
  • • Choose between 20 and 32 backgrounds to match your event’s vibe
  • • This background selection will set the choices for dynamic BGR images in Events using that Offer

‍

Find it under "Image Backgrounds" when editing one of your custom offers!

‍

🏀 JerseyJotter™ Got Even Smarter

‍

Multiple jersey numbers at once? Don’t mind if I do! 🎯

‍

Retail customers can now filter by more than one jersey number while browsing galleries—so if they’re hunting down that epic shot of #1 handing off to #23, they can actually find it. The more, the merrier!

‍

JerseyJotter™ in action! Now able to filter down even more. Theme: Liquorice

‍

✨ New & Improved Product Renders!

‍

Our non-rendering products got a visual upgrade! Depending on the program or market, you’ll now see better sample graphics in the product gallery for:

‍

  • • Spirit Noggins
  • • Spirit Sticks
  • • Canvas Wraps
  • • Wall Clings
  • • ...and even statuettes and acrylic magnets when using standard images.

‍

Graduations? Sports? Social vibes? We’ve got you covered with graphics that actually match the moment. Love that for us. 💅

‍

Here are two examples of what we're talking about:

‍

✨ Improving Live-Rendering for Statuettes

‍

📸 Statuettes now render in the product gallery with a transparent acrylic base (ooh, classy) and an updated plate design.

‍
🎯 And just in case you missed it: Acrylic Magnets and Statuettes now live-render when customers are viewing the product gallery for a background-removed image.

‍

Theme: Pop Rocks - Watermarking: Off

‍

🎆 In Case You Missed It: Pop Rocks Theme!

‍

We dropped a new “Pop Rocks” retail theme right before the 4th of July—complete with fireworks, dark mode, and party vibes galore.

‍
Use it for summer celebrations, school events, or whenever you feel like turning up the wow.

‍

🛠️ Misc Fixes & Tweaks!

‍

🖼️ Quic-Event Tweak: When not selling a Digital Download product in your Quic-Events, the free download will now be much higher resolution!

‍

🤳 Selfie Check-In™: A sneaky bug was messing with Selfie Check-In™ on some phones, but I waved my magic wand and poof—fixed.

‍

📅 Report Date Picker: You can now select dates earlier than July 2023 when setting date ranges for reports. A little overdue... but better late than never, right? 😅

‍

That’s all for this week!

‍

Until next week,
– Candy 🍭✨

  • Added button in settings that instantly pulls up the image hot folder
  • Easier installation and less issues with Window Defender
  • Smarter log out protocols (warnings if all images have not been uploaded)
  • "Upload from SD card" to manually add all images from an SD card to an event.
  • Useful if a camera was not connected to a tablet when images were shot, this provides another way to manually upload
  • OR if you had a second photographer on site without a tablet, they could upload their images through a tablet/laptop before leaving the event

    a. This can be done for "Party Pics Now" or SNAP as well

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

  • List One
  • List Two
  • List Three
  • List Four
  • List Five
