Introduction
There's a challenge many eCommerce stores face: How can they allow their customers to see a personalized live preview of their products? In a world driven by personal touches, providing a dynamic mockup can significantly boost sales and customer satisfaction.
Why Masks or Dynamic Mockups?
For eCommerce businesses, especially those on platforms like Shopify, giving customers the ability to see a personalized version of a product before purchasing reduces returns and increases confidence in the purchase. Whether you're selling personalized mugs, T-shirts, phone covers, or any customizable item, allowing a live preview with dynamic mockups is a game-changer.
