I am looking to create a business card template that my users can customize with their personal information. I have a template of the design, but I would like to allow the user to add their name, phone number, address, etc.

Is there an easy way to upload a template of a print product, lock down certain features, but also allow for personalization?

Hi @citywide :waving_hand: gathering text information for product personalization can be done with line-item-properties:

For fancier situations, or visual previews that requires advanced development or apps all of the above.

Yes, you can create a customizable business card template by using a design tool like Canva or Adobe Express, which allows you to upload your design and set editable text fields for users to personalize with their information. This way, you can lock down the design elements while giving users the freedom to add their names, phone numbers, and addresses easily.

Hi @citywide ,

You can use the Easify Product Options app (free plan available) to easily create custom fields (text box/ text area/ number box) where customers can enter their name, phone number, and address directly on product pages. This ensures that customers provide all the necessary information before they add a product to their cart. Below is a quick example of how it works :hugs: :
