Use Single Product Page Lookbooks

Single-page does not mean that your lookbook will have only 1 page. Comparing to ordinary PDF catalogs, where there are multiple products listed per page, lookbooks usually have separate page for each product. This way customer can get much better look at goods, almost as if they were in a real store.

Is it possible to control the page shadows in a PDF catalog in WordPress? Some of the shadows are stronger than others in the crease of the spreads. Our developer doesn't seem to understand.

Hi and thank you for the question, Hayes. Are you are speaking about the LookBook addon with Store Manager for WooCommerce? The thing is, our default templates do not use shadows. Please provide us with a screen capture of the shadows you're referring to. You can send us the details via email contact@emagicone.com
