Generating mockups for existing shopify products
If you have products already in your Shopify store that weren't created through Designs, you can generate WeScale mockups for them directly from the Products tab — a quicker option than the full Mockup Generation flow, with the same trade-off you'll see elsewhere in Designs: less control in exchange for less manual work.
Compared to Mockup Generation, this option:
- Only works with one mockup pack at a time (set in Settings), supporting up to 16 color variants
- Doesn't allow unique placement for each color variant
If you need multiple mockup packs or more control over placement, use Mockup Generation instead.
How to generate
Select the product, then ⋯ → Generate mockups. This uses your brand's saved garment, color palette, and mockup pack.
Before you can generate
- The product must be an existing Shopify product linked to a Printify product. An unlinked Shopify product isn't eligible — products created via Designs already get mockups automatically and don't need this.
- Your brand setup (garment, mockup pack) must be complete.
- At least one of the product's colors must be supported by your brand's color palette and have a suitable product photo. Colors outside your palette, or missing a photo, keep their existing store image instead. If none of the product's colors are supported, generation can't run at all.
- The product can't already be generating mockups — an already-running product is skipped if selected again.
- If there are unsent mockups already pending from a previous generation, running it again replaces that pending set — it does not immediately overwrite what's currently live on Shopify.
