Generating production files allows you to see how the final printable file from Customily will look without the need to place an order. This is great for checking sizes, definition, and elements' placement.
Since production files are exclusive to your store, before creating one you will need to generate an API key. This API key will be used to validate your production file generation.
Important
Do not share your API key. If you suspect someone has your API key, you can always generate a new one.
To generate an API key
- Open Account settings on your left menu
- On the top menu open Integrations.
- Select Generate new API Key. If you already have an API key generated, click the button Show to see it.
Tip
If you're using Customily through Shopify and don’t know your password, you can reset it at app.customily.com/signin.
