See every featureSelling custom caps usually means long email threads. Merch Designer 3D adds a 3D designer to your online store. Customers choose a cap model and colours for every part, pick the closure, and add embroidered text or a logo to the front, sides or back. They then send a quote request with quantity, a preview image and a design file. You see every request in the app and also receive it by email.
Customfly lets merchants add a visual product designer to their storefront. Customers can personalize products by adding custom text, uploading photos, choosing colors, and selecting design assets, all without leaving the product page. Merchants configure the designer per product from the Shopify admin, manage design templates, and view customer orders with attached design files.
