Hi @FHM2020 ,

To allow your customers to easily upload their design files before placing an order, I recommend trying the Easify Product Options app. It provides a File Upload option that seamlessly integrates with your product page :hugs: .

Here’s a quick demonstration on how to set it up with the app:

  • Create a new option set:

  • Add the File Upload option type to the set:

  • Select the products on your site that you want to add the File Upload field to, and you’re all set!

In addition to the File Upload option, the app offers a variety of other option input types for you to choose from and add to your product pages, such as text fields (for custom text), text areas (for customer instructions), dropdowns, image swatches, color swatches, and many more (25 option input types in total).

I hope you find this app helpful and encourage you to give it a try :raising_hands: !
