How to add product personalisation to a website like Hill House Home?

Topic summary

A user seeks to implement product personalization similar to Hill House Home’s robe customization feature, which displays a clean interface showing character counts on product images.

Key Requirements:

  • Clean, user-friendly interface
  • Real-time text preview on product images
  • Character limit display
  • Similar visual presentation to the reference example

Recommended Solutions:

Three apps were suggested:

  1. Zakeke Product Customizer - Offers text personalization with custom fonts, color changes, size adjustments, and image uploads from pre-selected lists

  2. Kickflip - Provides comprehensive customization including color selection, custom text, font choices, and real-time previews. Offers free account creation and demo webinars

  3. Inkybay - Product Personalizer - Features unlimited color options, font selection, character limits, and real-time price updates based on customization choices

Important Notes:

  • No way to identify which specific app Hill House Home uses due to privacy
  • The original poster mentioned existing apps didn’t quite meet their needs but didn’t specify why
  • Custom development remains an option if no app solution fits
  • Screenshots in the App Store can help identify similar functionality

Hi, we’re looking to add product personalisation to our website and really like the way it’s been done on this example: https://www.hillhousehome.com/collections/all-robes/products/the-tiny-hotel-robe

Is there a way to find out which app they are using for this or does anyone know a similar app to recreate this type of functionality? I like how clean and easy to use it is with the characters showing on the image. I’ve had a look through some similar apps but they don’t quite meet this so perhaps this is something that was built bespoke for them.

Thank you!

Hello @RossBehold ,

You can consider the Zakeke Product Customizer app by Zakeke (Futurenext Srl). This is an innovative product customization app that lets customers personalize any product.
With its help, customers can add text to products with their favorite fonts, change color, size, and orientation, pick artwork from a pre-selected list and upload their own images.

Also, you can review other apps at the apps store. If nothing meets your needs, there is always a way to develop a custom solution.

Please, let me know if you need any assistance.

Best regards,
Anastasia

Hi, @RossBehold !

Welcome to Shopify Community and thank you for sharing your question.

Also a special thank you to both, @Stacy_Zhuk and @Jackie_Kickflip , for offering their assistance and feedback in this thread.

To add on to their existing comments, I did want to clarify there is no way to check which particular app a store is using due to client privacy. Sometimes though, there are clues! For example, all apps in our App Store offer screenshots of the experience they can offer and that sometimes gives away which has the most similar set-up.

If none seem to meet that set-up, it’s very likely that the store is using a custom solution that better meets their needs.

While you did mention you looked through the existing app list, you didn’t clarify why they aren’t a good fit. In my experience, many of the apps do offer robust solutions with lots of customization options, so please feel free to shed light on what might be missing for a good recommendation.

Warm regards,

Hello @RossBehold ,

After going through your sample product, I can suggest you to try the Inkybay - Product Personalizer app. With this app, you can offer unlimited options for colors, choose fonts, limit the text characters etc. Price can be assigned on the options and the price will update in real time. You can change the styles according to your own preferences. Feel free toshare your further thoughts with me.

with me.
