How to add personalized print-on-demand apparel to my store?

[Nik11]

Hello,

I'd like to add personalized print-on-demand apparel to my store. I'd like people to be able to upload a picture of their pet, then have this photo turned into SVG (or some type of minimalist design), and then have this printed on the clothing. I'm currently using Printful. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing that? 🙂

Thank you for your help,

Hi @Nik11,

From my understanding, POD apps like Printify typically do not support custom options such as customer-uploaded images. They generally process orders only for products generated within their app, without alterations. You can refer to their documentation for more details.

Their recommendation is to integrate an app that allows customers to upload their images separately. You would then manually create a product in the Printify app using the uploaded image and proceed with the order.

Following this suggestion, you might consider using the Easify Product Options app to seamlessly incorporate a file upload section onto your product pages - using the File Upload option type. This would enable customers to upload their images easily 🤗. Below is an example:

Hi, I just tested your demo shop. I like this checkbox before the "Add to cart" button. That's prevents adding to the cart if not checked. But when I click "Buy it now" it proceeds without checking if the checkbox is ticked. Is this a bug in the demo shop or not available?

This is how your product page looks. You can change posters to your print-on-demand apparel.

Hello @Nik11,

As you want to allow your customers to upload a photo of their pets and turn it into a minimalist design for print-on-demand apparel, you can try the Inkybay – Product Personalizer app. It allows customers to upload their images and personalize products easily. With Inkybay, you can control product colors, allow text customization, add clipart, or let customers upload their own designs. You can also set predefined designs and decide what customization options you want to allow. Based on the design, size, and colors chosen, you can adjust the product prices. Then you can download their uploaded images in various formats like PDF, SVG, PNG, or JPG. The app also has product options features, which let you display product variants using swatches, checkboxes, dropdowns, and radio buttons, and you can set custom prices for each variant without any limit on the number of variants. It also offers a 21-day free trial and 24/7 customer support, so you can try it out.
