Personalization Text Box for Custom Orders

Store Design

Topic summary

A store owner seeks a simple text box solution for customers to enter personalization details (up to 150 characters) for custom bracelets, avoiding complex variant systems due to numerous color combinations.

Solutions Provided:

  • A Shopify support representative offers a step-by-step coding guide for adding text fields manually, with instructions to test on a duplicated theme first
  • Three free app recommendations are shared: Variants Options Products, Best Custom Product Options, and Infinite Product Options
  • The original poster successfully implements the text box using the step-by-step guide

Ongoing Issues:

  • Multiple users report that the provided app links no longer work or that the apps aren’t actually free as advertised
