Watermark

Draw the company logo over car photos on the customer and partner portals

The watermark draws the company logo over car photos that the dealership shares through the customer and partner portals.

Requirements:

  • The dealership plan must be Trade or Export. On other plans, every control on the page is read-only.
  • Changing the settings needs the permission to update the organization. By default, only the owner holds this permission.
  • A company logo must exist. The logo is the image that the watermark draws.
  1. Open Settings, then Company.
  2. Select Upload logo and choose an image file.
  3. Select Save Changes in the bar Unsaved Changes.

Until a logo exists, the Watermark page shows the note "A company logo is required before the watermark can be enabled." The note links to Settings › Company. The Enable the watermark switch stays disabled.

Turn on the watermark

  1. Open Settings, then Watermark.
  2. Turn on the switch Enable the watermark.
  3. Select a value in the field Position.
  4. Move the slider Size.
  5. Move the slider Opacity.
  6. Turn on Tile to repeat the logo over the whole photo. This step is optional.
  7. Check the card Preview.
  8. Select Save Changes in the bar Unsaved Changes.

The toast The watermark settings have been saved. confirms the change.

When Tile is on, the field Position is disabled and the text "Position does not apply to a tiled watermark." appears. The slider Size then sets the width of each repeated logo.

The card Preview draws the logo over a sample car photo in the browser. The text on the card states that the delivered photo matches the position, size and opacity. The preview shows the text "The preview requires a company logo." when no logo exists.

What the photos show

When the dealership plan includes watermarking, a logo exists and the switch is on, these photos carry the watermark:

  • Car photos on the customer portal.
  • Cover photos of cars on the partner portal.

Videos on the customer portal do not carry the watermark. Photos inside the dashboard do not carry the watermark either. The stored original photo does not change.

When the switch is off, the plan does not include watermarking, or no logo exists, the portals show the plain photos.

Notes

  • Replacing the company logo changes the logo on the watermark.
  • On a plan without watermarking, the page shows the card Unlock Image Watermarking with the badges Trade and Export. Select View Plans to open Settings, then Billing.
  • The page offers one watermark for the whole dealership. The page has no setting for a single car.
