Updated on Sep 8, 2016

If you have first read some of our other extension tutorials you have surely noticed how some of the products used for the examples in them have a colorful label on their top left corner marked as Sale or Top Product. This is in fact another useful module from iSenseLabs that can be used to create labels on products in a matter of seconds. Enough editing and overwriting images! Create the labels that will help you sell more fast and easy.

As every extension, you will have to first add it to your OpenCart. To view more information about the Installation process, licensing and entering the edit menu, please visit our OpenCart 2 Extension Management tutorial.

To add a new label to your products, you have to navigate to the LaberMaker Control Panel tab, Enable the status of the module and click on the Add a New Label button.
