Questions about new Partner area

[gladditudes]

I am trying to build a new shop, my old, migrated shop looks like it was put in a blender.

So I’m running into a few issues:
– When I try to upload vector art as an svg file, it comes in as one solid color instead of 2 colors. I have tried making each color a compound path, and also creating layers in Illustrator and putting each color on a separate layer.
– I understand how to create “topics” – but how do I link to those topics via html links from my shop to my embedded Spreadshop? I know how to embed the shop and call it up via a link, but my old links are broken, so I’m wondering how to create a link to topics since I don’t see that each topic has a unique number generated. Also – has the linking syntax changed?
– How do I rearrange my products once they are created? I made my first product form the shirt style I wanted, and then added others. So my main shirt ended up last. I can work around this by deleting everything and working in reverse order, but I thought perhaps I was missing something.
– Is Spreadshirt planning on continuing to use flex print? A lot of my designs are built that way, so I’m wondering if I should just forget about flex and upload all pngs if it will be discontinued soon.

Thanks

When I try to upload vector art as an svg file, it comes in as one solid color instead of 2 colors. I have tried making each color a compound path, and also creating layers in Illustrator and putting each color on a separate layer.

Can you pass me a Design ID as an example so I can check?

Indeed the link syntax has changed. You simply visit your shop page that you want to link (if your shop is integrated, you can still do it in the partner area itself), then copy the last path segment and query parameters of the URL

How do I rearrange my products once they are created? I made my first product form the shirt style I wanted, and then added others. So my main shirt ended up last. I can work around this by deleting everything and working in reverse order, but I thought perhaps I was missing something.

You cannot arrange products individually. More info about this can be found here: https://www.spreadshop.com/blog/2019/10/02/learn-how-your-products-are-sorted/

Is Spreadshirt planning on continuing to use flex print?

Yes, but only special flex print like glitterflex/glow in the dark and neon!

That last line answered my first question about 2 color vectors then – it’s switching my svg file to 1 color since glitter/glow/neon only allow 1 color – right?

I’m reuploading my designs into a new shop because in my previous shop my designs are duplicated for each time they were used together with a different design, so it’s way to hard to find my stuff and figure out how to remake in the new system. So instead of having 2 designs together (which I don’t think the new system allows anyway), I’m creating one file for each variation.
So I will just upload my designs as pngs.

Thanks for the answers
