10 steps to sell personalized products from PrintMelon to Shopify

PrintMelon’s Shopify personalization workflow starts in the Products page. You’ll select a personalized product, configure its settings, publish it to Shopify, collect customer personalization, and submit it to PrintMelon for production.

Step

1

Navigate to "Products" Page

Go to the “Product” page and select a Personalized product. Not all products can be personalized at the moment. Personalized products have the word in the title.

Shopify doesn’t support product personalization out of the box. Install a third-party personalization app to collect your customers’ personalization details.

• Choose a personalization app that fits your store’s needs.
• Make sure customers can easily enter their personalization before checkout.
