What it does
Selling customizable products online has a familiar problem: shoppers upload a logo or photo, then have to guess how it will look on the finished item. This add-on closes that gap. When a customer uploads an image through a product option, the preview updates on the product so they can check placement and appearance before adding it to the cart. Text and paragraph options can be previewed too, which helps with names, slogans and short messages.
Store owners set up printable areas on the product image, and image options can be defined separately for each printable area. Shoppers work in a preview dialog where they can select an object and nudge it with the arrow keys for fine or coarse adjustments. Previews are responsive, so the experience carries over to phones and tablets. Preview styling can be adjusted to match your branding. It requires WooCommerce and fits stores selling apparel, accessories and printed merchandise.
Best for
- Stores selling personalized apparel such as shirts and hoodies
- Shops offering custom printed merchandise and accessories
- WooCommerce sites already using WooCommerce Product Options

Questions about Live Preview
