How can I enable product customization for hats in my online store?

[PurplePartner]

Hi,

I intend to sell different types of hats through a Shopify store.

I want to let the clients decide about the design of the hats. They should be able to choose between different colours and forms, with the possibility of adding their own text and logo. Also, they should be able to customize all the parts of the hat: front, back, right, left.

Is there any way I can do this using any of the Shopify apps? If not, how can I do something like this?

Hi, @PurplePartner! 

Happy to help look into this with you. With this kind of customization, you will require the use of an app. Here are some great options from our Shopify App Store: 

• Custom Product Builder
• Product Options and Customizer
• Bold Product Options
• Infinite Product Options
• Infinite Options

Do you already own the hats you are selling or are you looking at a print-on-demand business model? We have a lot of great resources on the print-on-demand business model, many of which can be found here. For example, one of the resources shared is our free video course offered through Shopify Compass called Build a Print-on-Demand Empire. It walks through the step-by-step process to create a print on demand store from start to scale. 

Let us know which app you decide on, and how your setup goes!

Hi Hilary,

Thank you so much for your answer. It's definitely a step ahead.

I already own the hats and I have the tools to customize them, so it's my own Print-on-demand business. 🙂

I will get in touch with some of these apps to see if any of them can offer me all the customization possibilities I want. 

I will keep this topic open in case I will receive other opinions.

Thank you!

My pleasure, happy to help. 

That's great you already own your inventory and will be customizing the hats yourself; thanks for sharing a little bit about your business! 

Let us know which app you ultimately decide on.

Hi PurplePartner. I hope this finds you, your friends, and family well. You are doing EXACTLY what I’m intending to do. What a fantastic question. Can you tell me which app you decided to go with and why? I’d love to see your store as well if you don’t mind sharing it with me. I’m new to learning about Shopify and trying to figure this all out. I’m Isaac by the way and I live in Green Valley Lake, CA. Hope you have a good day and thank you! 🙏🤙🏽
