Design on the Product Detail Page

Why Design on the Product Detail Page?

With the rise of custom printed products, online print businesses need tools that keep customers engaged. An online product design tool is essential for a custom printing business that wants to let users personalize their own products with user-friendly, productive tools.

This lets shoppers browse items, personalize them to their liking, and complete a purchase quickly. Investing in a smoother personalization experience can pay off for online printers through better conversions and stronger customer relationships.

How Does the Form Base Editor Make Personalization Easier?

An online product design tool needs to be easy to use, since many shoppers are not tech-savvy and may be using this kind of tool for the first time. Both the interface and the experience matter when choosing or upgrading to an online product design store.

That is why Printcart built a way to design products directly from the product detail page, with quick edit options. The customer can edit the product and place an order on a single page, which helps improve the shopping experience.

How Does It Work?

Normally, when the online design feature is active on a product, a design button appears on the product page that lets customers customize the product to their preferences.

After customers click the design button, it leads to the full editor page, where they can apply photos, add messages, apply filters and more.

For some projects, though, store owners want customers to design directly on the product page instead, for a quicker, simpler process. This is offered as an extra feature for store owners who want to simplify the design process on their site.

As soon as a shopper selects a product and opens its product detail page, a template list appears on the left, with a preview of the output next to it. Shoppers can also choose a template from options under the design button. Templates are configured for a product from the backend, where store admins can create as many as they want and assign them to the products of their choice.

Clicking the design button opens a form-base editor, with fields to input text and upload a logo image. The admin sets up the field names from the backend, and as a shopper fills in a field, the template preview updates to show it.

If a shopper needs a more complex design, they can click through to the full editor page, the same one used by the original plugin.

For different business needs, more design options can be added to the product page, such as color or size choices. After choosing the quantity and seeing shipping costs, the shopper adds the product to the cart and goes to checkout. Businesses that want this set up for their own products can reach out through Printcart's product designer feature development service.
