         4. Fill out the necessary information. These will affect the HTML that gets generated. 

  • Campaign: Select the campaign or the widget that you want the product to add to.  
  • Product URL Type: You can choose between the Products Page Link and Add Product to Cart link. The former will just create a link to the product page of the product on your store, while the latter will take you to the product AND add it to the cart. 
  • Product Image: You have three options; Product Page Image, which is the full-size product image, Thumbnail, which shows the smaller version of your image, and No Image, which is no image.
  • Widget Style: You have three different styles to choose from. Play with these to decide which one best fits you.
