## <mark style="color:$primary;">**How to create eBay Template Designs**</mark>

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Step 1: Choose how to create a template**</mark>

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

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Create using LitCommerce designer templates**</mark>

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.

<figure><img src="/files/czqhMB1fBY0Pjpb8kEAE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Import InkFrog template**</mark>

Use the `Import InkFrog Templates` section under My Templates 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.

<figure><img src="/files/E1H7FP3RLdlH9lNu4KbY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}

* **LitCommerce automatically rehosts images in the imported template to LitCommerce-hosted storage. This prevents broken image references after InkFrog discontinues.**

* **Export is only supported for templates created using the Designer option in InkFrog. After export, convert InkFrog tags into LitCommerce-supported tags, which use the** [**Jinja template language**](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/templates/#variables)**. Common fields that require conversion include Product title and Description. In LitCommerce, these values correspond to the following supported tags:**
  * **{{title}}**
  * **{{description}}**
    {% endhint %}

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

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Create using a basic default layout**</mark>

Select the `Create a new template` section under My Templates 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.

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Step 2: Configure the editing workspace**</mark>

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

<figure><img src="/files/z3QbBznn2nyr1bMcJin8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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.

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Step 3: Edit the template**</mark>

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.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Blocks**</mark>

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