Create a template
At the end of this procedure the new template appears in the list of the Templates tab of an eBay store, for one region and supplier.
Before you start
- Open the tab from eBay Stores > Edit > region > supplier > Templates (Templates). Each region and supplier has its own templates.
- For your own template you need the full HTML code of the description.
Creating the template
- In the Templates tab click New template.
- In Select a template pick a design from the library, or Custom template to use your own HTML.
- In Template name enter a name.
- Only for Custom template: paste the HTML code in Custom template HTML.
- Click Create template. The button becomes active when the required fields are filled in.
In the HTML code you can use these variables, which Droopify replaces with the product data:
| Variable | What it becomes |
|---|---|
{title} | Title |
{brand} | Brand |
{description} | Description |
{currency}, {price} | Currency and price |
{ebay_store_name} | eBay store name |
{image}, {image[1]} to {image[5]} | Product images |
What happens next
Template created successfully appears and the template shows at the top of the list, with a preview. It is not in use yet: to use it, choose it in the list and click Save Changes (Templates).
For a Custom template Droopify creates the preview image from the code on its own: creation can take a few seconds.
