Designer Settings
The Designer page controls which customization tools your customers can use when they personalize a product on your storefront. Turning tools on or off shapes the customer experience and helps make sure you only receive artwork you can actually produce.
Available tools
From Settings → Designer, you can enable or disable:
Text Tool — Lets customers add custom text to a product. Use this for name drops, team rosters, slogans, or any personalized wording.
Image Uploads — Lets customers upload their own artwork to place on a product.
Each tool has a simple toggle. Turn on the ones you want available and save your changes.
Choosing what to enable
Think about what your shop can reliably print:
If you offer personalization like names and numbers, keep the Text Tool on so customers can enter their own wording.
If you're comfortable receiving customer-supplied artwork, enable Image Uploads — but be sure your team is ready to review files for print quality.
If you'd rather keep designs fully in your control, disable one or both tools so customers select from your ready-made options instead.
Working with related settings
Designer settings work alongside other parts of your shop:
Appearance settings control the customizer button and which file types customers may upload, so review both together.
Decoration methods determine the print areas and constraints the designer enforces.
Gallery settings control the watermark applied to proofs generated from customer designs.
Tips
Enable only the tools that match your production capabilities to avoid orders you can't fulfill.
If you enable image uploads, set your accepted file types in Appearance to match what your workflow supports.
Test the designer on your own storefront after changing these settings to confirm the customer experience looks right.
These settings let you strike the balance between customer freedom and production control that's right for your shop.
