Detailed Guide on Setting Up Live Text Preview with the Live Product Options App
- Head over to the Shopify App Store and download the Live Product Options App.
- Once installed, the app will guide you through an easy-to-follow onboarding process. This usually involves granting the app the necessary permissions to interact with your product pages.
- In your app dashboard, look for a menu or a button labeled 'New Product,' usually represented with a Plus ('+') symbol. Click it.
- A new screen will appear, displaying your product catalog. Choose the product you want to add live text previews to and hit 'Select Product.'
- Now the fun begins. You’ll see a screen with various customization options for your product. Start by clicking 'Add Options,' which is also represented by a Plus ('+') sign.
- A drop-down menu will appear, offering various types of options you can add. Select 'multi-line text.' Here you’ll see fields to name and label this option; personalize it according to your branding needs.
- After setting up your text option, you can further enhance the customer experience by adding more elements like font and color pickers.
- To do this, click 'Add Options' once more. From the drop-down, select the type of picker you want to add.
- Head over to the 'Advanced Settings' tab, where you can limit the number of characters, set default fonts, and more.
- Scroll down the page until you spot a section labeled 'Live Preview.' Here, click on 'Add Layer.' A new set of options will appear, including a dropdown for 'Select Option.' Choose 'option_1,' corresponding to the multi-line text option you created earlier.
- As you scroll further down, you'll find additional settings. Under 'Color Option,' select 'option_3' (which you would have set up if you added a color picker). Likewise, for 'Font Option,' select 'option_2' (if you added a font picker).
- Still within the 'Live Preview' section, locate the 'Advanced Settings' tab.
- Here, you’ll find an option to specify the 'Area' or the 'Box' where the live text will appear. Position and size this box to fit within the actual product image, so customers get a realistic preview.
