Zakeke allows you to change the name and icons of the tools of your customizer. You can also customize each tool's position and order in the vertical bar and tools' panel.
Before you start
This guide applies if your account was created after March 31st, 2025, as it refers to the new Zakeke UI.
If you signed up before that date and haven’t switched to the new interface yet, please refer to this section for instructions based on the previous UI.

Guide for the legacy version (for users signed up before March 31, 2025 who haven’t switched to the new Visual Product Customizer UI)
1. How to do it
- Go to your Zakeke back-office > Settings > User Interface Settings
- Enter the theme editor for the General Theme or create a Product-specific theme based on your needs
- In the theme editor, go to the section where you can manage the names, icons, and positions of the tools (see image below).
- For each tool, you can edit:
- Name
- Panel Title
- Icon
- Position (see details here)
See example here below:
Please note that changes apply to both desktop and mobile views.
Warning
If your store is available in multiple languages and you rename a tool in Zakeke, follow these steps to ensure the new tool name is correctly translated in all supported languages.
-
Rename the Tool
Go to the tool settings in Zakeke and change the default name (e.g., from "Uploads" to "Upload your file"). -
Access the Translation Settings
Navigate to Settings > Translations in your Zakeke dashboard. -
Add the Additional Language(s)
If you haven’t already added the languages your store supports, do so now by selecting them from the list. -
Translate the Custom Tool Name
Under the selected language, go to "Custom added texts". Add the exact new name you assigned to the tool (e.g., "Upload your file") and provide its translation for that language.
Why This Is Necessary
Zakeke automatically translates all preset texts, including the default names
of the tools. However, once you modify a tool name, it becomes a custom text.
Custom texts are not translated automatically and must be added manually
in the translation settings.
2. How to change tool's position
You are able to customize the icons' order inside the Visual Product Customizer interface, changing how they appear in the vertical bar and tools panel.
You can do it from the "Position" field on each tool's management section.
Understanding Positions:
- Each tool has a default position (indicated by a placeholder).
- If you change the order, the new order is language-dependent; saving the order in the back-office when the back-office language is, for example, French, will reflect in the Customizer with the French localization applied.
- You can't enter 0 as a value and use negative numbers.
- Make sure not to use the same number for more than one tool.
3. Guide for the legacy version
Not using the new UI yet?
If you signed up before March 31st, 2025 and haven’t switched to the new Visual Product Customizer UI, this section of the back-office will look different, and the instructions above won’t apply to your account.
Follow the steps below to manage it using the legacy interface.
The old UI is deprecated and will soon be fully retired. We strongly encourage you to switch to the new UI as soon as possible. Follow the instructions here.
- Go to your Zakeke back-office > Settings > User Interface Settings
- clic the button Customize now
- Click on the edit button
on the tool for which you wish to make changes.
- Make your edits
- You are able to customize the icon's order inside the Customizer interface, changing how they appear in the main toolbox and in the vertical bar.
You can do it from the "Tool's position" section on each tool's management page.
Understanding Positions:
- Each tool has a default position (indicated by a placeholder).
- The "Add to Cart" icon is fixed and its position can't be changed.
- If you change the order, the new order is language-dependent; saving the order in the back-office when the back-office language is, for example, French, will reflect in the Customizer with the French localization applied.
- You can't enter 0 as a value and use negative numbers.
- Make sure not to use the same number for more than one tool.
