A campaign by product base for personalized print-on-demand products
Once your customers add products with photo customization to the cart, or go to the checkout page, the order will include the product name and customization information (if you enable it in the setting). You can place a test order to check if it works properly.
Bonus: You can create one-by-one or use Bulk creator to combine many products with an artwork having an upload photo option.

Can You Add Upload Image File Button in Shopify Without App?
Yes. You can add templates, sections, and blocks to your theme code to create an image file upload button. The process often includes 5 main steps:
- Go to the store admin page > Online Store > Themes > Edit code.
- Create a new custom product template in the Shopify theme
- Code a custom section to add an upload photo button
- Apply the new template to a product
- Manage (show/hide/…) customization information in the checkout, cart, and emails.
If you are an experienced developer, it is easy to control the site performance, such as site loading speed, response time, render time, etc. Besides, it is fast and free.
However, if you are not a skillful developer, it may be:
- Complex and time-consuming. You may find instructions somewhere on the Internet, but each one is only for specific, not most, themes. So, it’s tough to find what is suitable for you.
- High risks of errors or bugs that can interrupt the buying journey. Hire a skillful developer from the beginning or add an app to utilize their support to avoid irrefutableness.
- Not for products with multiple personalization options. The higher the level of product customization, the more complex the code. Spending time and money on an app is much more cost-saving.
