I just added a laser engraver to my woodshop and I’m looking at adding Laser Engraved personalization as an option in my store. The idea is that they could pick out a cutting board or a pen case, and add a message or name for $XX dollars more. It needs to have:

  • Character Limit
  • Ability to increase item price with personalization (flat rate per item)
  • a text box with the product they could type in. Like etsy.

Any ideas or suggestions? I found Product Personalizer (https://apps.shopify.com/product-personalizer) which just seems like much more than I need. I’d love to hear what you all use.
