How do I add a custom text field for a print on demand product?

Topic summary

A user seeks to add custom text input fields to print-on-demand products, sharing a screenshot example of the desired functionality.

Recommended Solutions:

Two third-party Shopify apps are suggested:

  • Easify Product Options (free plan available): Offers a “Text Box” option type for quick setup of custom fields on product pages
  • BSS: Product Variants Options: Provides features to meet customization requirements

Important Limitation:

If using a POD app to generate products, it likely won’t automatically capture custom text field data from third-party product option apps. This integration gap may require manual handling or additional configuration to pass personalization details to the POD service.

Hi @ryanmikols ,

You can try out the Easify Product Options app (free plan) to set up those fields for your products super quickly. Just use the Text Box option type. Here’s a quick example :hugs: :

  • Storefront:

  • App settings:

But keep in mind, if you’re using a POD app to generate those products, the POD apps won’t pick up information from custom text fields in third-party apps.

Hi @ryanmikols
I believe that the BSS: Product Variants Options has features that can meet your needs. I hope you have a good experience with it.
