When you add a Custom Text layer into a design, you can access advanced settings to control how the text behaves and looks. These options help merchants add fixed elements, adjust spacing, and apply special visual effects.

1. Prefix & Suffix

• Prefix: Adds a fixed text element before the customer’s input.
• Suffix: Adds a fixed text element after the customer’s input.

👉 Example: If you set Prefix = “The” and Suffix = “End”, and your customer enters Custom Text, the final result will display as:

“The Custom Text End”

Only the main Custom Text area will change based on customer input.

2. Character Spacing

Adjusts the space between letters in the custom text. Increasing the value spreads characters apart, while decreasing it makes them closer.

3. Stroke (Outline)

You can add an outline around the text for better visibility or style effects.

• Stroke width: Controls how thick the outline is.
• Outer stroke: Expands the outline outward.
• Inner stroke: Draws the outline inward, making the text itself appear thicker.

👉 Example: A red outer stroke creates a bold border outside the letters.

4. Text Pattern

This feature allows you to fill the text with an image or texture.

• Upload your file: Choose an image to be used inside the text.
• Scale: Adjust the size of the pattern inside the text.
• Repeat: Enable to tile the pattern across the text.
• Offset X / Y: Move the pattern horizontally or vertically (Y) inside the text.

👉 Example: You can fill text with a fabric texture, photo, or repeating pattern for unique design effects.
