Seeking a no-code Shopify app to collect cookie order customizations (flavors, designs, colors) and personalization text, while preventing “Buy it now” (express checkout) from bypassing required fields.
Original issues (with Hulk Apps):
Express checkout bypassed required fields.
No dedicated personalization input (didn’t want to rely on order notes).
Dynamic Product Options (Itoris): demo shared for evaluation.
Notable solution for express checkout:
Easify Product Options: automatically hides “Buy it now” on products with required options to enforce inputs; keeps it visible when not required. Supports personalization; simple setup with live preview. Screenshots provided to demonstrate configuration.
OP’s updates:
Will explore the recommended apps.
Prefers a simple, effective solution and does not need customers to see a visual preview.
Status:
No final selection yet; OP evaluating options. Key need remains validating required fields with express checkout and capturing personalization on the product page.
I’m fairly new to Shopify and not exactly super tech savvy. I currently offer holiday pre-orders where people can customize cookie orders including flavors, designs, colors, and add personalization. Without going into coding what app would work to allow this? I’ve tried Hulk Apps and there are two issues with it…
If people did express checkout, it bypassed the required fields
They don’t allow an option for people to input a personalization (Trying to streamline so I don’t want them to have to put it in the notes)
Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
I recommend looking into the following Shopify apps that are known for their customization capabilities and might address your needs more effectively:
Advanced Product Options by Mageworx - This app offers extensive customization possibilities, including custom options, personalization fields, and conditional logic for showing/hiding options based on previous selections.
Product Options & Customizer: Offering a wide range of option types including text fields, file uploads, radio buttons, and checkboxes, this app could provide the flexibility you need for customization.
Infinite Options: This app allows customers to personalize products with dropdown menus, text and number inputs, checkboxes, and radio buttons. It’s designed to handle various types of customizations, including the ability for customers to enter personalization text, which seems like a crucial feature for your cookie orders.
Most existing product option apps face challenges in supporting express checkout buttons like “buy it now” when required fields are involved.
To tackle this limitation, the Easify Product Options app has implemented a solution. Specifically, the app hides the “buy it now” button on product pages that include required options. This ensures that customers must enter the necessary details before adding products to their cart. For products without required fields, the “buy it now” button remains visible as usual.
Apart from it, this app makes it effortless for you to incorporate personalization options into your products. Here’s an example :
If you share your options with me, I can suggest how to set them up using the app. Alternatively, you can reach out to the Easify team for quick assistance.
