Can customers self-personalize items on Shopify?

Shopify Discussion

Hi, I wanted to know if there is an option that you can put on Shopify for customers to be able to personalize an item by themselves?
Instead of just purchasing whatever is put on the website. Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi @Designsbydee

This is indeed a possibility, what sort of customization are you referring to? Engravings, designs, etc..?

It would be designs. Like they would have the option to customize it

I’m also looking to personalize some products but I don’t think it’s exactly possible what we are after.

As an example, we have a Sales flyer that our users can purchase. However, they would like the ability to modify some of the information on that flyer. One user might want to change the date-range of the sale, while another user might want to adjust the discount of the sale. Is anything like that - or remotely close - possible?

Hey @Designsbydee , It sounds like what our app Context does. We are working on personalization down to the product level, but you can already personalize all of your marketing blocks (banners, image + text, etc.).

It lets you add multiple banners (or other block type), then with rules, you can trigger when that banner is displayed, and to whom.

We’ve launched with the following rules:

  1. :shopping_cart: Customer segments (Display to a specific customer segment based on authentication)

  2. :label: UTM parameters (Display variation based on specific campaign parameters)

  3. :date: Date Range (Display variation during a specific time frame)

  4. :globe_showing_americas: Geo Location (Display to customers from a specific location - down to the city level)

  5. :sun_behind_small_cloud: Weather (Display when the weather is, or is going to be “X” for the customer)

  6. Klaviyo customer segments are coming next week

  7. Many more to come

All of these rules can be combined with each other too. For example you may want to display a promotion to customers from Denver, Colorado (location rule) between a certain timeframe (date range rule) OR show a promotion to visitors from Seattle, Washington (location rule), when the rain is forecasted in the next 7 days (weather rule).

The customizations can be very powerful.
