Create Photo Based Gifts/Merchandise
SCRAP Photo Editor provides the ability to easily create photo based gifts/merchandise, which are then manufactured and delivered to your door. This includes items such as mugs, t-shirts, necklaces, etc. Items thtat have been personalised with photos that you took yourself can make perfect gifts or mementos.
NOTE: This service is brought to you in association with Zazzle.
Making Your Gift/Item
Click on the gift icon () in the File toolbar, or select “Create Gift/Merchandise” from the “File” » “Publish/Make Online” menu. This will open the “Create Gift/Merchandise” window.
Choosing the Store Country
At the top of the window is a drop-down menu for the various local stores (see the screenshot below). Using the store in your country allows you to purchase items using your own native language and currency. The program will do its best to guess the correct store based on your computer's settings, so it may well already be set correctly. Otherwise, simply choose the best store for your location in the world.
Legal Agreement
If this is the first time that you have used this feature, then you will be asked to read and agree to Zazzle's User Agreement (see the screenshot below). Your photo will be sent to Zazzle for processing, so it is important that you agree to and abide by their agreement.
Click on the “View Agreement” button to read the agreement, which will open in a web-browser. Once you have read it, then you are ready to proceed. Indicate that you accept the agreement by ticking the I have read and accept the “Zazzle User Agreement” checkbox. Click “Continue” to move on to the next step.
Customising and Uploading Your Design
You can add a caption before uploading the image. If you wish to do so, then enter it into the caption field. This is optional.
NOTE: Everything can be customised later.
Clicking on the upload button at the bottom of the window will start the upload. This may take some time, so be patient.
Choosing Your Gifts/Items
Once the upload is complete, the Zazzle store will open in a web-browser. You will see your photo (and caption) displayed on various items, as is seen in the screenshot below.
At this stage you can browse through the store, and check out how your photo looks on each product/item. Most products have various options. For example, t-shirts come in different sizes, colours, and types, as can be seen in the following screenshot. If need be, the design can be further customised using the “Customise it” button.
Once you've chosen the item(s) that you want and selected the right quantity and options, click on the “Add to Cart” button, as is shown below.
Next, proceed through the checkout, and complete your order. Congratulations! Your personalised gift/merchandise will be on its way to you soon.
