Can customers add personal details to pre-designed products online?

[tcoover]

I know that as a store owner I can have people customize shirts.

But what I am looking for, is there a way that I customize the front of the shirt as a store owner and then they consumer on my site can just add a number and their name like a sports jersey on the site?

I DONT want them to be able to manipulate the design on the front, but just add a number and name on the back?

Thank you all so much!!!!!

Hi @tcoover 

You can add a text field in your product page. So the costumer can leave a message/ or request what they like to design in the back. Check this one.

Thank you so much for such a quick response. I appreciate it so much. Unfortunately this wont work because my store is a print on demand. 

I need more of a way to have them choose from their fonts etc they already have on Shopify. 

In my mind, they would just click on a button to add a number and name themselves on the back and whatever font they use or choose would be printed. The POD company wont just assume  the design after the order is placed.

You are a rockstar though. Thank you so much!

This could be manual work but you might have to adjust the design base on customer input, and send this order to your POD company. Is your POD company allows picture to be send to print? If so, there are apps available that you can use. You can check this apps here.

Hi @tcoover,

Based on my experience, many POD apps (such as Printify), typically don't support custom options directly in their orders. This means you can't create personalized fields for customers that get seamlessly included in the order sent to the POD company.

Printify, for example, suggest the following approach:

1. Set Order Approval to Manual:

• Adjust your order approval settings to "Manual" in the POD app. This enables you to edit the order before it goes into production.

2. Create a Product in the POD app:

• Generate a product with your personalized design, and publish it on your store.

3. Obtain Customer Design Requirements:

• Find a method to gather the customer's design requirements. For instance, consider using the Easify Product Options app (free plan available) to create custom text fields, font picker or a file upload option on your product pages.

App settings:

4. Recreate the Ordered Product:

• Once the customer places an order, and you receive their design specifications, go to the POD app. Recreate the ordered product, ensuring it remains unpublished (save as draft).

5. Edit the Submitted Order:

• Edit the submitted order and replace the initial product with the newly recreated one, incorporating the customer's design requirements.

6. Send the Order to Production:

• Finalize the process by sending the order to production. Click "Fulfill order" to complete the transaction.

This multi-step process ensures that your customers' personalized design details are accurately captured and incorporated into the final product.
