# Template variants

The Template Variants feature lets merchants link different templates to different product variants. This is typically used when two variants require different print file dimensions  for example, a vertical print versus a horizontal print.

# 1. Prepare your templates
First, create a separate template for each variant. For example, if your product has Vertical and Horizontal variants, create both a "PT001 Vertical" and a "PT001 Horizontal" template.

# 2. Create the campaign with a default template
Create your campaign and link it to one template as the default, for example, "PT001 Vertical". Click **Save** to create the campaign.

# 3. Enable variant connection
Once the campaign is created, a **Connect with different variants** checkbox appears under the Template section. Tick this checkbox to enable linking additional templates.

# 4. Add the other template
Click **Add**, then search for and select the second template (e.g., "PT001 Horizontal").

# 5. Link the template to a variant
After adding the template, select which variant it should be linked to, in this case, the **Horizontal** variant. You can use the search bar and **Select all** for quick selection.

### How it works
Each variant displays the template it is linked to. If a variant is linked to a specific template, that template is shown for that variant. If a variant is not linked to any additional template, it falls back to the **default template** (in this example, Vertical).
