Settings

The Settings area is where a store configures Depict itself: who can access the portal, which store data becomes attributes, which filters shoppers see, how markets are grouped, and whether tracking events are arriving correctly. It has eight sub-pages in the sidebar: General, Users, Attributes, Filters, Appearance, Markets, Tracking and Admin.

​

Limits and behavior

• All settings are per store. Switching store in the merchant switcher switches every setting described on this page.
• There are no user roles. Every member of a store has the same permissions; a view-only account cannot be created.
• There is no numeric limit on the number of users per store.
• You cannot remove your own account from a store’s user list.
• Standard filters cannot be edited; only their order can be changed.
• The Appearance page exists only for stores on Shopify. It is hidden for all other platforms.
• The Attributes page is configurable only for stores on Shopify or Centra. Other platforms see “Not available for your platform”.
• The Admin page is internal Depict tooling and is visible only to Depict staff.
• Deleting a market group moves its markets to the default group and deletes every merchandising exception scoped to that group.
• The Tracking page shows the last 72 hours of events and refreshes every 30 seconds.
• Analytics API keys (created on General) are capped at 50 active keys per store; the key secret is shown once and cannot be retrieved again.
• The interface language setting is stored in the browser, not on the account: it applies per browser, not per user.

​

General

The General page holds portal-wide preferences and the analytics API keys. When analytics is enabled for the store, the General page also shows an API keys card for creating and revoking the read-only analytics API keys used with the X-API-Key header. See Analytics API keys for the key format, limits and the endpoints the keys unlock.

​

Users

The Users page manages who can access the store in Depict. It lists every member by email, with a You badge on your own account and an Admin badge on Depict staff accounts. Every member has the same permissions — there is no role system and no view-only mode. To invite a teammate:

1. Open Settings, then Users.
2. Click Invite user.
3. Enter the teammate’s work email.
4. Confirm the invite.

Result: the teammate appears in the member list. If they do not have a Depict account yet, one is created — they sign in via “Forgot password” or SSO, and they have the same permissions as you. To remove a member, use the remove action on their row and confirm. Removal takes effect immediately, and the person can be invited again at any time. You cannot remove your own account.

​

Attributes

The Attributes page configures which store data is ingested as Depict attributes, used across search, filters and merchandising. The page’s contents depend on the store’s platform:

​

Shopify attribute mapping

Each attribute row shows its name, status (Configured / Not configured) and data source. Four attributes are mandatory and always present: Color, Size, Gender and Age. Title, description, variant, image, original price, sale price, stock levels and brand are ingested automatically and need no mapping. To add an attribute:

1. Click Add attribute.
2. Enter a name in Name the attribute.
3. Pick one or more sources under Select a source for its data — Shopify options, Shopify metafields or Shopify tags.
4. Click Add.

Result: the attribute appears in the list with status Configured. Constraints on the form: Tags with a shared prefix can be used as Grouped tags: all tags with the same prefix are grouped, and future tags with that prefix join the group automatically. The prefix must be followed by -, _, /, : or + (for example Designer_Chanel).

​

Centra attribute configuration

Three tabs: Standard Centra attributes, Mandatory Depict attributes and Custom Centra attributes. Each row is configured with these columns: Attribute IDs must be unique, and every row needs an attribute ID, type and field name before the page can be saved.

​

Filters

The Filters page configures the filters shoppers use to narrow product listings on the storefront. Filters can be added, edited, deleted and reordered by dragging. Standard filters cannot be edited; custom filters can. Each filter is configured with: Standard filters render with fixed types — for example price as a range slider, on-sale and in-stock as toggles, size as a grid checkbox, categories as a hierarchical checkbox, and color as a color checkbox. Filter values can be managed per filter:

​

Appearance

The Appearance page exists only for stores on Shopify. It configures how Depict-rendered product cards, grids and sliders look on the storefront, with a live approximate preview switchable between Mobile, Tablet and Desktop. Two tabs: Product card and Grid & slider. Product card settings: Grid & slider settings:

​

Markets

The Markets page groups a store’s markets into market groups. Markets in a group share merchandising rules and analytics scope — market groups are the unit that merchandising, analytics and stock are scoped by across the portal.

• Drag a market onto a group to move it. Changes apply when you save.
• Add market group creates a group with a Group name; the group id is derived from the name and must be unique.
• One group is marked Default.
• Every group needs at least one market before the page can be saved.

​

Tracking

The Tracking page is a live diagnostic of the store’s tracking integration: the last 72 hours of events, whether their product ids map to the ingested catalog, and purchase attribution quality. It refreshes every 30 seconds. Four event feeds are shown, each with the id the events must use: Each feed carries a product-id mapping status: The page also shows Purchase device ids with attribution events — the share of purchases whose device also produced attribution events — and a Product ID examples table with sample ids from the ingested catalog, as tracking events should reference them.

​

Admin

The Admin page contains internal tools for Depict staff and is visible only to Depict superusers. It is not part of the merchant-facing product.
