I am looking for an app that allows customers to add a name to a tshirt. The tshirt will have a design on it already, but the name field will be customizable. The font and placement will stay the same, only the text itself will change. I am having trouble finding an app that does this and also shows a live product preview with their customized name.
Can someone please point me in the direction of an app that can do this? Or is this something that will require custom code and therefor require hiring an expert?
You want to look on the app store for âproduct personalizationâ , âproduct optionsâ, or âproduct builderâ , etc.
I can certainly be done with a theme customization but on-product previews of decent fidelity can be a tricky & expensive business to get right , better handled by a dedicated app until your established and need something not available off the shelf from the app store.
Regarding this, you can refer to some print-on-demand apps such as EPROLO POD, SPOD, etc These apps are friendly customizer and users could see the preview of their customized name.
I hope my answer will be helpful to you and hope you will find the best one for your store.
