Hi! We are looking to add an option to a tote bag where the customer can select to personalize the bag with their name and select the text color. We also want to show that this is an extra cost. Is there a way to do this by adjusting the code and not installing an app. We are using the dawn theme.

Yes this is possible with using line item properties, there's only one catch and that is you cannot change the price dynamically when user selects or adds their personalization options. For that you will have to use an app. 

 

But if you like make it required that the user has to give his name and colour and have a price accordingly then this can be achieved with custom code. 

 

Hey Axel 

 

Hope the development restarted for your store and it's doing good.

 

I am reaching out as I have made a small ui/ux feature using in-built capabilities in Shopify on a client request. There's still some work to be done but i just wanted to get feedback from entrepreneurs and merchants such as you.

 

Below is an example, of how using line item properties I have created a bundle feature but the price is not dynamic, this is a product itself with a set price. It's just a better ui that lets create a bundle.

Please search for this specific product: **bundled discounted collection** or just see the section below the banner in the homepage.

 

You will see cards on click of which a popup opens and you can select and remove products from different collections.

 

Your requirement is much basic than this, this is just for an example.

Hi @halseesan 👋 That's an advanced theme customization, aka monogram customization.

To DIY you'd hobble together line item properties https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/product-pages-get-customization-information-for-produ... 

 

With  something like a gift-wrapping customization for the cart page you find online but code it per product on product pages like an upsell.

e.g. https://github.com/carolineschnapp/carolineschnapp-gift-wrap 

 

If you need this customization then contact me for services.

Hi @halseesan 

While it might be possible to achieve with code, handling personalization with extra charges and making it all work smoothly can be a bit complex.

If you're open to using an app, Easify Product Options is a super affordable option that makes things much easier. You can add name fields, color selections, and set extra charges — all without coding. It even supports live preview, so customers can see how their name looks on the bag before checkout, which is pretty hard to build manually. Here's how it works:

  • This is the result:

  • This is the app setting:

You can set add-on price for the text box with flat rate or by character

To let your customers see the custom product in real time, simply select the "Enable Live Preview" in the Product Personalizer like this:

This app is straightforward, and I believe it will work well for you. Reach out to Easify if you need any assistance! 🤗
