Smart Overlay

Smart Overlays are data-driven graphics that can be automatically applied to product images based on product information. This is achieved by defining one element of Product Data with Asset Metadata of assets stored in a specific Tweak Collection.

When editing product images or Campaigns Images, Smart Overlays can be set up on single or multiple product images. Smart Overlays can be applied on any image in the Product Page but only on the featured image in Campaigns.

Typical uses of Smart Overlays include Brand Logos or product features like Organic, Recycled, Warranty etc.
