If you sell customisable products you can allow your customers to add names and messages from the product page.
You will need to create a product in the normal way. Once this is done you should navigate down to the “Add-ons” tab on the product admin page.
Click the “Add Field” button and you will be presented with some fields that allow you to add various options to your product. The field is the “Type” and contains the following options:
- Checkboxes – Can be used for product variations like weight, size or colour.
- Short Text – A single line text field. Ideal for a name.
- Long Text – A multi-line text field. Useful for longer messages.
- File Upload – Customers could designs for t-shirts.
- Customer Defined Price – Perfect for customer tips.
- Quantity – Add a quantity based price to the product.
- Heading – Add a custom heading to the price break down.
Let’s use the “Short Text” option to let the customer add a name to the product.
- From the Type dropdown select “Short Text”
2. From the “Restriction” dropdown select “Only Letters”
3. Let’s make the title of our text box “Enter a name” and format the title as a label
4. You can add a description or instruction. Tick “Add description” and put some text in the box.
5. You can make the field mandatory by ticking “Requred Field”
6. You can limit the number of characters that the customer can request and set a minimum number of characters too. Let’s limit the maximum number of characters 15 with a minimum of 0.
7. If there is a cost to adding a name to a product you can adjust the price of the product. The cost can be a flat fee, quantity based or a percentage of the base product price. Let’s make it a flat fee of £1.50.
8. Click the green “Update” button at the bottom of the page and your “Enter a name” field will appear on your product page.
