What it does

Default Text Layer controls exactly what appears when a customer clicks Add Text in the designer — the starting wording, font, size, color, and decoration — instead of a generic placeholder like "Your text".

Set a global default that applies to every product, then override the basic, advanced, or decoration settings per product from the product edit screen when a specific product needs a different starting point.

How to enable

  1. Buy the addon

    Your Lemon Squeezy receipt email (and "My Orders" page) contains the addon ZIP.

  2. Upload it in the Veyo Apps screen

    In WordPress admin, open Veyo → Apps and upload the ZIP. Veyo verifies the package and installs it.

  3. Enable it

    Toggle Default Text Layer on, then set your global defaults from Veyo → Default Text Layer.

How to use it

  1. Set the global default

    From the admin settings screen, choose the default wording, font, size, color, and decoration used everywhere "Add Text" is clicked.

  2. Override per product (optional)

    On a specific product's edit screen, override the Basic, Advanced, or Decoration groups if that product needs different defaults.

  3. Customer clicks Add Text

    The new text layer starts pre-filled with your configured defaults instead of a blank placeholder.

FAQ

Can customers still change the text?

Yes — the default is only a starting point. Customers can edit the wording, font, size, and color exactly as they could before.

Does a product-level override affect other products?

No. Overrides are scoped to the specific product; every other product keeps using the global default.
