Descripziun

DTF Sheet Builder is a professional integration for WooCommerce that allows your customers to visually build, pack, and configure their Direct-to-Film (DTF) gang sheets directly on your product pages.

By integrating this plugin, you connect your store to a cloud-hosted builder application. Customers can upload designs, arrange them on a canvas matching your product variations, and generate print-ready PNG or PDF files.

Key Features

Visual Builder: High-fidelity, drag-and-drop gang sheet builder modal.
Auto-detect Dimensions: Automatically reads sheet sizes from WooCommerce variation titles (e.g., „22×50“).
Multi-format Output: Generate print-ready files in PNG or PDF formats.
Crazy Packing: Advanced auto-packing algorithm to save material space.
Multi-language: Built-in support for English, French, German, Spanish, and Arabic.
Unit Support: Switch seamlessly between Inches and Centimeters.
Product Dashboard: Select storefront products and configure each product from one central screen.
Per-Variation Controls: Enable individual variations and assign exact width, height, and unit values.
Per-Product Buttons: Customize button text, background color, and text color for each product.
