Getting started

Getting started

Connect a source, make it on-brand, attach a template, preview on your real products, and publish your designed catalog feed in one session.

What you'll do

Adorn turns your product catalog into on-brand designed images and serves them as a prioritized Meta catalog feed that auto-refreshes as prices and sales change. The guided first-run wizard walks you from signup to a live feed in about five minutes.

  • Connect a source so we can import your products
  • Make it yours with your palette, fonts, and logo
  • Pick a starting template that's already wired to your product data
  • Preview the creative on your own real products
  • Publish your designed ad images

As you move through the wizard, a thin progress bar at the top tracks Step 1 of 5 through Step 5 of 5, with one heading and one primary action per step, so you always know where you are and what to do next.

Step 1: Connect a source

The first step imports your products. You have two connect paths: connect a Shopify store, or paste a public product feed URL with no Shopify needed.

  1. Choose Connect Shopify to install our app and import your products automatically, or Paste a product feed URL to connect any public product feed.
  2. For Shopify, enter your store domain (for example your-store.myshopify.com) and select Connect Shopify. Finish the install in the new tab, then come back.
  3. For a feed, give your workspace a name and paste the feed URL (a Google Shopping XML feed works), then select Connect feed.
  4. Wait for the import. Once your source is connected, select Continue.

The connection is read-only, and you can disconnect anytime. If a pasted feed is missing required fields, Adorn tells you exactly which ones so you can fix the feed and reconnect.

The Connect step opens with Connect Shopify and Paste a product feed URL side by side as two selectable options; picking one reveals its form directly below - a store-domain field for Shopify, or a workspace name and feed URL for a feed.

Step 2: Make it yours (brand)

The brand step sets the palette, typeface, and logo your templates render with. It is skippable at any time, so it never blocks the flow.

  1. Optional: paste your store URL and select Import my brand to auto-fill your colors, fonts, and logo. If we can't pull enough, you drop straight to manual entry.
  2. Pick a palette preset (Classic, Midnight, Sage, or Coral) and a font (Lexend, Inter, Fraunces, or Space Grotesk).
  3. Optionally upload a logo (PNG or JPEG, at least 512px). It's saved to your brand kit, so you can add it to any template later from the editor's Assets panel (Logos tab).
  4. Select Continue, or Skip for now to use clean defaults.

Your brand comes from your palette and fonts, so a starter template renders on-brand immediately without redesigning anything.

Step 3: Pick a starting template

Adorn pre-selects a clean Standard starter that is already bound to your product data (title, price, and badge fields), so there is no blank canvas. Keep it, or choose another starter.

The pre-selected Standard starter shows with an accent border alongside every other bundled starter in a single list, so you can compare and pick a different one without leaving the step.

Step 4: Preview on your real products

The preview step renders your creative across your own ingested products, so you see the real layout, the real rules and the real product data before publishing. AI-written copy fields still show your placeholder in preview; the feed fills them in at render. Use Preview across products to spot-check several products.

If your catalog is still importing, the step shows a friendly loading state with a Refresh button rather than a dead end. Your real products appear the moment they are ready.

Step 5: Publish your feed

Publishing renders your catalog images and produces your designed ad images. A confirmation dialog guards the one consequential action, and you can publish again anytime to change it.

  1. Select Publish my feed, then confirm in the Publish to live ads? dialog.
  2. On success you get your Meta catalog feed URL with a Copy button and the three Commerce Manager steps to register it.
  3. Optionally connect Meta afterward to serve the feed in your ads. Your feed is already live and refreshing, so this never blocks the win.

Once live, prices and sales refresh on their own, so you never redo per-product creative work. To wire the feed into your ads, see the Meta connect guide.

On success, a confirmation panel shows your live Meta catalog feed URL in a copyable field, followed by the three Commerce Manager steps for registering it.
