When to use an Item image background vs. the store card background color
Items can appear with either a simple card color or a separate image background. Which option you should use depends on the visual effect you want.
Recommended default
If you only want a solid color behind the item, use the store card background color.
When to use an Item image background
Use an Item image background only when you want something more than a solid color, such as:
A textured or patterned background
A gradient or other non-solid visual treatment
Custom artwork behind the item
Best practice
Solid color only: Use the store card background color.
Custom visual/background art: Use an Item image background.
This keeps item styling more consistent and avoids using image backgrounds when a simple color setting will do the job.
