Name

Select the name for your helper.

Content

Create your helper with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Stores

Here you decide whether the helper is only visible for a specific store view within the data center. If no specific store view is selected, the helper is globally available for all stores.

Then, any number of helpers can be assigned to a personalization template. This is done under Personalization > Templates > All Templates > Edit > PDF > Page Helpers
