Product image design variant (additional variant option)

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant is seeking a Shopify app that enables image design variants as a product option, similar to color and size selections.

Current Setup & Requirements:

  • Currently uses Ecwid, which supports image design variants (e.g., customers select a pre-designed image like “Cardano,” then choose color and size)
  • Uses Printful for print-on-demand fulfillment
  • Wants to upload and display all design images themselves rather than having customers upload custom images
  • Prioritizes ensuring correct color/resolution quality and letting customers preview exactly what they’re purchasing

Proposed Solution:
Approval Studio app was suggested as a potential solution, offering the ability to upload multiple artwork variants, allow customers to approve their preferred design, and add comments if needed—all while maintaining image quality without color loss.

Status: The discussion remains open with one app recommendation provided.

Does Shopify have an app that offers an image design variant option?

We currently have our shop with Ecw. (as mentioning the full name is not permitted on the forum) - they offer an image design variant (in addition to color and size).

So the customer is able to select their design (already there as we designed each image option) from a list eg. Cardano image and then select their color and size of shirt.

Here is our store with the image design variant option:

https://store.thecoinblock.net/products/Mens-Heavyweight-Tee-Gildan-5000-p416350425

We would prefer to do all image designs to upload and display (we use Printful as our POD) as we’d prefer to know the quality of the resolution and color will be correct - along with the customer being able to view what they’re getting right away. As opposed to having the customer upload an image.

Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, [email removed]Thecoinblock!

You can actually do that in Approval Studio (among other things). There is a possibility to upload a bunch of artwork variants and let your customer approve the one they like, and, if needed, add a few comments about the design itself. And, of course, with no quality or color loss!)
