This article introduces the feature and guides you in utilizing it.

How to create eBay Template Designs

Step 1: Choose how to create a template

The LitCommerce eBay Template Designs feature offers the following three methods to generate a custom description template.

Create using LitCommerce designer templates

Choose from LitCommerce’s collection of pre-designed templates that include general product information and layouts tailored to different categories. These can be found in the Templates on the left sidebar menu.

Each template is organized into its own category. Use the search bar to find the one you need.

Import InkFrog template

Use the Import InkFrog Templates section on the left sidebar menu to transfer your custom InkFrog templates and make them editable in LitCommerce.

This section lets you migrate existing InkFrog description templates into the LitCommerce eBay Template Designs tool to continue using their current layouts without rebuilding from scratch in LitCommerce.

Simply provide a template name, paste the exported InkFrog HTML codes into the editor, and save the template. Imported templates will appear under the My Templates section for future editing and management.

If you encounter difficulties during the process, contact us for assistance.

Create using a basic default layout

Select the Create new template section on the left sidebar menu to open a basic default layout without preconfigured content, allowing full customization of product and business information.

You can add, adjust, and remove elements to suit your listings better.

Step 2: Configure the editing workspace

Start by adding a name for the template. This helps distinguish it from other templates in eBay Template Designs.

You can utilize the Editor Toolbar to control and customize the editing workspace. It consists of the following:

• Display modes: Supports desktop, tablet, and mobile.

• View components: Displays borders around each component in the layout for easier identification and editing. This option is recommended.

• Fullscreen: Expands the template editor to occupy the entire screen, providing a larger workspace

• Undo/Redo: Reverts/restores the most recent action.

Step 3: Edit the template

A custom description template is built using multiple content blocks composed of different elements. Customize and manage these blocks and elements through the Style and Blocks tabs.

Blocks

The Block tab opens automatically when you access a template. Drag and drop blocks into the editor workspace to add them and start customizing.

Basics

This section contains essential product information blocks that can be added to your description template. These blocks correspond to embedded product attribute mappings, allowing LitCommerce to retrieve data from the Main Store and display it on eBay listings.

Available blocks include Title, Description, Identifier, Shipping, and Price.

Media

This section provides visual content blocks such as Image Block, Image, and Icon. Use these blocks to add multimedia elements to your template.

Add images by using external URLs or select from the existing ones in the Image Library.

Layout

This section contains structural blocks used to organize and arrange content within your eBay description template. These blocks help create more visually balanced layouts by separating content into columns and containers.

It consists of the following options: 2 Columns, 3 Columns, 30/70 Columns, Resizable Columns, and Container.

You cannot change the existing layouts of pre-defined blocks within LitCommerce's built-in description templates. To apply a different layout configuration, delete the current block and reinsert the preferred layout block.

Text

This section provides text-based blocks such as Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4, Paragraph, Button, Link, Bullet List, and Numbered List for structuring content within the template.

Extra

This section consists of supplemental and advanced content blocks designed to extend template functionality and improve presentation. Supported elements include Dropdown, Divider, Table, Custom HTML, Gallery (Nav Thumbs), Promo Card, and Tabs.

Style

The Style tab offers customization settings used to control the appearance and formatting of selected blocks within the template.

Size & Spacing

This section allows you to control the dimensions and spacing of the selected block within the template. Available options include Width, Height, Margin, and Padding controls.

Text

This section provides typography customization controls for the selected component. Supported properties include Font family, Line height, Text align, and Text shadow.

Background & Border

This section lets you control the visual styling of the selected block. It consists of Background color, Border radius, Border, Box shadow, and Background.

Screen Visibility

This section allows you to set which devices the selected block/element will appear on, including Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.

Layout & Position

This section provides options to control how the selected block/element is arranged and positioned within the template. You can configure display behavior, floating alignment, positioning type, and placement offsets.

Flex Box Properties

This section lets you control the alignment and arrangement of elements within a flex block. Adjust the following: Flex direction, Flex wrap, Justify Content, Align items, and Align content.

Flex Box Properties is only available when clicking on blocks that support flex layout.

Visual Effects

This section allows you to customize visual behaviors such as Opacity, Transition, and Transformation for the selected block.

Step 4: Save the template

Once the layouts are ready, you can save the description template in LitCommerce. Look at the top-right corner and click Save/Save As.

Then, navigate back to the Title & Description Template, open eBay Template Designs, and click Use This Template on the newly created custom description template.

After that, go to the LitCommerce eBay channel, click Apply Template/Rules after selecting your listings, and choose the desired template to assign it.

Finally, use the Publish to eBay or Update To eBay action to push your custom description template to the marketplace.
