Seeking a Shopify-compatible app that lets customers customize clothing while the merchant handles in-house printing and shipping (self-fulfillment). The goal is a customization tool without using full-service Print on Demand (POD) providers.
POD refers to producing items after orders are placed; services like Printify/Printful include production and shipping, which the merchant wants to avoid. The request is specifically for storefront customization software.
A suggestion was made to use the CAI Customizer app (Shopify App Store link), which enables on-site product personalization. No details were provided on features, pricing, or how it integrates with self-fulfilled workflows.
Status: one app recommendation; no confirmation, comparison, or decision yet. Open questions include whether CAI Customizer meets the merchant’s requirements and what other alternatives might fit a self-print setup.
Hey guys!
Currently in the process of setting up my Print on Demand store WITH MY OWN printer.
I’ve seen many options like Printify or Printful, but my understanding is they also take care of producing and shipping the products.
Not really interested in the entire solution, since I will be printing the goods myself.
Any advice on what software or Apps are out there that can help me with allowing clientes to customize goods on my store front?
