Searching for the perfect product customization plugin

Topic summary

Company seeks a Shopify product design plugin that lets customers upload a background image, add text, etc., but with a strict requirement for layered output. They currently receive layered design files (e.g., JSON/XML/SVG) from another channel and need each design component separated so they can reconstruct it with their own tech. They can work with most layered file types.

Suggested option: Inkybay – Product Personalizer. It provides design exports in SVG and PDF formats. The responder recommends verifying whether the files preserve layer separation as required and offers a 21-day trial to test fit.

Extras and references: A sample product can be shared on request. An attached GIF demonstrates the app’s functionality (visual preview is relevant).

Status and next steps:

  • No confirmation yet that the suggested app meets the layered-output criteria.
  • Action items: Test Inkybay’s SVG/PDF exports during the trial; request a sample; confirm that exported files maintain distinct layers suitable for the company’s reconstruction workflow.

Discussion remains open pending the requester’s feedback.

Hi Everyone!

Our company is looking for a product design plugin that will allow users to upload a background image, add text, etc. There are plenty that does this portion fine, it’s the file output that we really need to be right. We accomplish this with Amazon by them sending us a layered file using JSON/XML/SVG. The files design HAVE to be in separate components (layered) so we can reconstruct them on our side for use with our tech. We can use almost any layered file type.

Any help would be awesome!!

Best,

Aaron

Hello @MossMan72 ,

Has your company found the product design plugin yet? If not, you can try Inkybay - Product personalizer.

It has the features you need. But I guess your main concern is with the order file. The app provides the design file in SVG and PDF format. You can check if this works for you or not. Also, it offers 21 days of trial so you’ll get enough time to decide if this app suits your business or not.

Feel free to reply here if you want to check a Sampleproduct.
