How it sells itself

Uploadery lets customers upload files directly when adding your products to their cart. Files are attached to the order in Shopify so you can fulfill without chasing customers. Accept any file type, validate uploads, keep your fulfillment workflow clean, and your shoppers happy.

Replace scattered emails, upload apps, spreadsheets, and task boards with one Shopify-native workflow for custom artwork and personalized product orders. Collect buyer photos and custom details before or after checkout, see which orders need action or are waiting on buyers, and automate follow-ups to keep orders moving. Versioned previews, revisions, and approvals make clear which artwork goes to production.

Key points
  • Let your customers upload files when they order from your shop
  • Email customers a preview image of their made-to-order item
  • Set minimum/maximum heights & widths for uploaded images
  • Control what uploaded files you accept with specific filetypes or aspect ratios
  • Collect buyer photos and artwork details before or after checkout.
  • Track preview versions, revisions, and approvals on each order.
  • See action and waiting orders, then automate buyer follow-ups.
  • Keep buyer messages attached to the corresponding Shopify order.
