Generated Placeholder Art for Products Without Photos

How to choose the art style for products without photos, and optionally tint it to match your store.

Products that don't have a photo uploaded no longer show a plain gray box on your web store, TV menus, or apps. Carrot automatically generates placeholder art that matches the product's type (flower, pre-roll, vape, edible, concentrate, tincture, topical, etc).

Where to configure it

Go to your Store Editor, then Store Frontpage settings and select the Placeholders tab (next to Store Frontpage and Theme).

Art Style

Choose which style Carrot should use to generate art for products without a photo. The style you pick applies across the web store, TV menus, and the apps on the next product sync. Available styles include:

  • Realistic

  • Clay

  • Comic

  • Ink

  • Neon

  • Noir

  • Retro

Each style shows a preview row of icons across product types (jars, pre-rolls, vape pens, edibles, creams, tinctures, bottles, and boxes) so you can see how it will look before selecting it.

Accent Tinting

Optionally tint the accent details of the generated art:

  • None: No tint is applied, generated art uses its default coloring.

  • Theme color: Accents are tinted to match your store's theme color.

  • Custom: Pick any color using the color picker, or enter a specific Hex, RGB, or HSL value.

The Art Style preview updates live as you adjust the tint, so you can see exactly how it will look before saving.

Saving your changes

Click Save in the top right of the Placeholders tab to apply your Art Style and Accent Tinting selections.

Note: Your art style and accent tinting selections carry across the web store, TV menus, and apps, but changes apply on the next product sync rather than instantly. This may take up to 30 minutes to fully display.
