Product pages - Get customization information for products

TyW

You can collect customization information for products using line item properties. Line item properties are custom form fields that you can add to the product page, allowing customers to make choices or add information about a product. For example, if you offer product engraving, then you can use line item properties to let customers enter the text that they want engraved on the product.

Tip: Line item properties are different from order notes and cart attributes. Order notes, which are available in every free Shopify theme, let you capture special instructions on how to prepare and deliver an order. Cart attributes are specified by customers on the cart page, and are used to record additional information about an entire order.

Hello @TyW and thanks for your tutorial!

I have a problem finding the {{ line.title }}, i can only find on my template  {% assign line_title = line.title %} or

 <span class="order-list__item-title">{{ line_title }} × {{ line_display }}</span><br/>

I never modified email template so it's standard format.

Anyone can help?

Thanks

 

how customizations in email templates

 

 

You can optionally also display line item properties in email notifications. This will let customers see their product customizations when they receive an email about their order.

 

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Notifications.
  2. Click the name of the notification template that you want to add line item properties to.
  3. Find the following code:

    {{ line.title }}

    Replace it with:

    {{ line.title }}{% for p in line.properties %}{% unless p.last == blank %} - {{ p.first }}: {{ p.last }}{% endunless %}{% endfor %}

     

  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat these steps for any other email notifications that you want to include line item properties.

SOLVED 😉 

I customized the template replacing here {{ line_title }}

 

<span class="order-list__item-title">{{ line_title }} × {{ line_display }}<

What did you replace {{ line_title }} with?  I have similar code in my Order Confirmation Notification. 

 

Did you updated code look like below?


<span class="order-list__item-title">{{ line.title }}{% for p in line.properties %}{% unless p.last == blank %} - {{ p.first }} × {{ line_display }}</span><br/>

Hi,

I am also looking for a way to adjust the price, based on the measurement-input of the customer.

For example:

100cm x 100cm = 100€

200cm x 100cm = 200€

200cm x 200cm = 400€

 

Can anyone help with that, please?

Thanks in advance.

I think variants are your best bet if there are a limited number of options with different pricing.  Checkout  https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/variants/add-variants

 

If you still want to use custom form fields with differential pricing you can use a paid app like Infinite Product Options from the app store

The code works well in collecting information on Product page and even works to have customization info mandatory i.e. it will not add to cart if it the info is not given.  But when someone clicks But it Now (dynamic checkout) the custom info is not required.  How do I make it mandatory for Buy It Now also?

Hi 

 

As per your query, buy now button comes from the shopify and there is no handle to prevent on this so we can create an other buy it now button which will work same as dynamic checkout button. 

 

Thanks and regards

I’m trying to a product line on 3 of my items where customer can type in a business name. We are doing a tshirt fundraiser and $10 from each shirt sale will go directly back to business of their choice. Way I have it set up now is that they put notes in shopping cart but it would be much nicer if they could just put in on product page

Hi,

Thank you for the tips.  I was able to add the Short Text Field.  But after a customer writes fill the special instructions and completes the order.  The special instructions does not come in the email confirmation we receive.  How can this be resolved.

Will appreciate your help.

Thanks

Make sure your notification templates refe

{{ attributes.NEWFIELDNAME }}

rence that new field you added and how.

Cart attributes 

When in an order context with liquid just use {{ note }} not order.note

 

Or if you used LIP's https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/liquid/reference/objects/line_item#line_item-properties

remember the difference between line_items and line_item a common typo

So it's the year 2020, and I have a sectioned shopify account set up. I need to add custom fields, which I had no issue doing.  My only issue was when I said this is a required field. It still let me bypass and put it into cart without a pop up coming up?

 

Any ideas why?

I have implemented this and its all working. Still need to tweak a little to make them mandatory etc.

The issue I am having is with the upload file function. It works, however, when a customer uploads an image and we get it in the order. Its a webp file and is majorly compressed beyond usability. Is there any way to stop the compression etc so we can get a usable image from the customer?

 

PaulNewton
Shopify Partner

@Liam_Elder This is due to a previous advancement https://changelog.shopify.com/posts/online-stores-automatically-serve-webp-images

  1. Do a test order and verify it's not something the customer is doing unknowingly for the image size.
  2. Normally when you click the thumb, in the orders page, for a file upload image it should then automatically download a normal sized version in WebP format.
  3. If it seems corrupted you may have download the small thumb, outdated software, or just need to use a utility to convert it to png.
  4. If you are clicking the small thumbnail and choosing 'Save Image as' what you want to do instead is right click and choose 'Save link as' that will let save it as a jpeg if that's what was uploaded.
    1. Some browsers will also let you change the image type in the save dialog.
  5. Copy the link and append the url with ?format=jpeg
  6. Alternatively use a browser that doesn't support WebP , such as safari for macOS, and it will just download as a jpeg.

If none of the above work and WebP is compression images too badly then contact shopify support and let them know about this limitation.

Beyond that for the future you will want to make losslessly converting WebP into the desired format part of your image processing pipeline

Thanks for this. I may have been a Mac problem. Circumnavigated by your 'Save link as' Method. It works just fine on Windows both ways.

Thanks for the reply, but I am trying to put the information in on the seller's end. We are using multivendor marketplace, and we have multiple sellers. I want to make sure they all include the correct information about their listed products, but I don't know how to add more fields for sellers to fill out.

Hi, I followed your steps and I was able to create the personalized option for customers. However, when I test an order, the personalized text didn't show at the checkout. I wouldn't know what customers want to engrave then as I didn't see any info. What should I do to fix it? Thanks.

The instructions you provided work great when the Shopify interface is used for the shopping experience.  We have embedded the products directly into our website.  How do we get the new product fields to show up for the embedded products?

Hi all,

New to Shopify but understand JavaScript and HTML coding. A potentially really useful post unfortunately I have gotten as far as the 'Add Custom Form fields' and can't get any further. I am using the Debut Theme and I can't find any related code to  type="submit" anywhere in any of the Template or Snippet files.  In fact very little recognizable HTML at all in any of the .liquid files. I have played around with placing the generated code in various places in the Product.liguid and the Product-Template.liquid (and all related snippet files) but can only get it to appear at the top or the bottom of the page. Not anywhere near the product information. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If providing an additional service I would add variants to the product i.e.
standard & personalised and add the additional cost on the personalised
variant.

Line item properties do not change a products price or create|add new products to the cart.

For that you'd want to combine this with the gift wrapping customization https://shopify.dev/tutorials/customize-theme-add-gift-wrap-option

\hi there great tutorial.

Is there no way to easily export all this data when the orders are created? What if you have 1000 orders of a product with customisations like this. What would be the easiest way to export the data and manage it?

Thanks

To get the data you want in the format you want, you'd want to use an ETL app for CSV and excel such a ez-export,matrifixy , or scriptable automation apps like usemechanic.

Hey that's great thank you so much for the recommendation I'll look into these apps. The EZ one looks like it might do the exact job.

I have another question. So I understand how the loop works to show all the line properties and with the nature of my product I am doing I want to make sure that the correct line properties show for that product. One thing I have noticed is (and this is in my code) I show an input depending on quantity of the product. So if you choose quantity of x4, you get 4 inputs to add your name in for customisation.

Yet one thing I've noticed is when a person is in the cart after adding in the custom line item properties, if they decide to limit the quantity in the cart to say x2, then I am still left with 4 custom names.

Is there any way to take this loop and make it only show the first 2 custom inputs if the quantity matches to only x2?

I hope I've explained this well enough, thanks

Hi Shopify experts/partners

 

Is there an updated tutorial for this for the 2.0 themes ie DAWN. There is no product.customisable.liquid theme to work with. 

Has anybody been able to implement this on DAWN with success pls?

Dawn has a completely different structure.

This is untested but for the product pages with Dawn version2.2.0 try using the custom liquid block to insert the code in the tutorial meant for product pages.

And adding the attribute  form="product-form-{{ section.id }}"  to any form inputs to associate them with the product form

Though be aware that attribute doesn't have universal support work in IE11 https://caniuse.com/form-attribute

@PaulNewton Thanks for mentioning our app!

@idwithin If you're open to using an app, our EZ Exporter app might be able to help out with this.  You can export the line item properties in separate columns or combined together in one column along with other order fields.

We have a guide on how you can export the line item properties in separate columns with our app here: https://www.highviewapps.com/kb/how-can-i-put-each-line-item-property-into-its-own-column/

We're of course available to provide support as well if you need help with the app as it's a pretty advanced feature.
