Custom one-off product creation and checkout flow

Topic summary

Selling custom, one-off products with on-the-fly image generation; the goal is to display the generated image during the checkout flow so customers can confirm the final result before purchase.

Key need: show a dynamically created product preview in checkout for confirmation (i.e., within the steps leading to payment).

Latest update: another participant asked if a solution was ever found, seeking a creative approach for a similar use case.

Status: no solution or implementation details provided; the thread remains open with the core question unanswered (how to surface a custom-generated image within Shopify’s checkout flow).

I’m creating a website that will be selling custom, one-off products with a flow that involves on-the-fly image creation so that the customer can see what they will be buying. I was wondering if there was any way to show the customer this image during the checkout flow so that they can confirm it’s what they expected.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
