UnoPim Canva Connector

UnoPim Canva Connector exists because UnoPim stores product images but has no design tool. Every banner, badge, or spec graphic is made elsewhere.

Without it, a designer exports a file, a merchandiser downloads it, and someone uploads it to the right attribute, channel, and locale.

Each hand-off costs time and invites errors, such as a file on the wrong locale or a gallery that loses its order.

UnoPim Canva Connector moves that work into the product screen. The admin clicks the Canva control, edits, and syncs.

The connector also refuses to sync before Canva has autosaved, so an untouched original is never written back over good artwork.

Also, to keep your asset library on a shared drive, check our extension UnoPim Nextcloud DAM Integration.

Further, if you want to publish product feeds with these images to Google, you can check UnoPim Google Shopping Connector.

If your catalog speaks many languages, you can also check UnoPim DeepL Translation Module.

To feed AI shopping search with the same catalog, check UnoPim AI Product Feed for OpenAI Search.

For new catalogs, UnoPim Auto SKU Generator can create product codes before you design images.

•  Refresh Seasonal Product Images

  A merchandiser adds a sale badge to a product image and syncs it back to the same scope.

•  Build Spec Sheet Graphics

  A content team binds live names, prices, and attribute values onto a design, so no spec is retyped.

•  Curate Product Galleries

  An editor replaces a single gallery item and imports finished Canva designs without breaking the item order.

•  Update Brand Asset Libraries

  A brand team edits a DAM image or PDF. The edit joins the library as its own file, and the original stays.

Image & Gallery Editing

• Edit product image attributes in Canva and sync the export back onto the same attribute
• Edit one gallery item at a time, keeping sibling items in order with their array keys
• Start a blank Canva design from an empty image field
• Import designs the connected account already holds, appending one gallery item per design page
• Limit gallery edits to png, jpg, jpeg, jfif, gif, webp, bmp, tif, and tiff items

DAM Asset Editing

• Edit images and PDFs from the DAM grid with a Canva icon on the card hover row
• Store every edit as a separate file in the same directory, so originals are never overwritten
• Ring the DAM card while a design is open
• Require the UnoPim DAM package for asset editing

Formats, Scope & Variants

• Export PNG, JPG, GIF, and PDF from Canva, with JPG quality set to 100
• Re-encode WebP, BMP, TIFF, and AVIF locally so each field keeps its original format
• Write exports back to the scope the design was opened from
• Offer common-level attributes on the parent, variant-level attributes on the variant, and never axis attributes

Canva App & Product Data

• Search products and filter by category and brand, with pagination and a channel and locale picker
• Bind names, prices, attribute values, and media URLs onto the open design
• Show each variant of a configurable product with its own resolved attribute values
• Save the open design onto an image or gallery attribute of the chosen product
• Map attribute roles such as name, brand, price, and images through configuration

Connection & Security

• Connect a single Canva account through OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for use by all admins.
• Encrypt access and refresh tokens at rest and refresh them before expiry under a lock
• Validate the Client ID and Client Secret against Canva when they are saved
• Verify every Canva app call with a Canva-signed token checked against Canva's published key set
• Request the asset:read, asset:write, design:content:read, design:content:write, and design:meta:read scopes

Admin Tools & Setup

• Add a Canva Connector sidebar entry with its own settings screen
• Install with php artisan canva-connector:install, which runs migrations and publishes assets
• Add three tables of its own and leave every core table unchanged
• Support UnoPim 3.1.x, PHP 8.4 or higher, Laravel 13, and MySQL 8.0 or PostgreSQL 16
