Good day guys! I need help with personalizing a product that should only be in the products section. It looks approximately the same as in the pictures I have attached. I also looked at certain applications that can be downloaded, but they are quite expensive. If he has a similar experience or if he knows how to solve the problem,thank you in advance! https://www.americaandbeyond.com/products/african-safari-embellished-tote?_pos=1&_psq=safa&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=44651708088510

Hi @Stupanj , thanks for reaching out.
After reviewing your request and the attached images, I’d like to inform you that the feature you’re looking to add requires a new function that involves modifying the code logic and integrating an API to fetch the necessary data. Unfortunately, this level of customization cannot be achieved without significant changes to your theme I’m afraid.
In this case, I recommend you contact your theme developer to discuss this enhancement further. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

Hi @Stupanj ,
The Easify Product Options app allows you to create a custom text field (available in the free plan) and enables customers to preview their entered text directly on the product image (available in the advanced plan).
Below is a quick demo for your reference:

Hi @Stupanj ,
If you’re looking for a great personalization app, Kickflip is perfect for you! It allows you to easily personalize products while offering a real-time text preview, custom fonts and ensuring a seamless and interactive customization experience for your colourful bags.
Here are Dust Bags, a simple example of a customizable bag, to which you can also add text!
Kickflip is also a great choice for keeping your personalized products organized within the product section, just as you need, using a customize button integration. Plus, it’s an affordable and powerful solution compared to other expensive options you’ve come across.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
The Kickflip team
Hello @Stupanj
I hope you are doing well. If you are looking for an app for product personalization, you can try Inkybay – Product Personalizer.
With Inkybay, you can provide a complete personalization experience where customers can design products their way using the interactive design lab. They can add text, upload graphics, change colors and sizes, add QR codes, save designs for later use, and explore many other customization options with live previews. You can also set up predefined templates, upload custom fonts, offer quantity-based discounts, and set up pricing rules based on customization. The app includes built-in inventory management for customized products and allows you to download print-ready files directly from the Inkybay dashboard.
In addition, Inkybay’s Product Option feature lets you add custom fields like text inputs, image swatches, color swatches, file uploads, dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more. These options appear on your product page, and you will receive all selected option details in the order file.
Setup is simple and requires no coding. The app also comes with a free 21-day trial so you can test it to see if it fits your needs. If you’d like, I can also share a demo product with you.
Hi,
It’s been a while since you posted. Did you find a suitable solution and how was your experience with it?
From what you described, it sounds like you want to let customers personalize products right from the product page, then charge extra fees if they want to add personalization. For what you’re trying to do, you can either add some custom code or use an app that supports product personalization.
If you’re comfortable with coding, you can build this feature directly by editing your theme’s product page. For example, you can create code to add custom input fields and link them to line item properties in your cart.
For an easier way, no-code option, you might want to check out Teeinblue Product Personalizer. It lets you add a custom text field, set extra charges for personalization, and even let customers preview their custom design directly on the product page, all seamlessly integrated with your Shopify products.
You just need to create a design, add personalization layers and extra fees, link the design to your product, and publish. This is much faster than building everything manually.
Teeinblue also offers a 14-day free trial, a starter-friendly plan at $19/month, and even free for your first 50 orders. So it’s a great way to test it out without much risk.
This is the result:
Hope this helps you get it working!
