​
Live Preview

When a customer selects an option — a color, a charm, an engraving — the product image updates instantly on the page. No page reload, no waiting. You upload your product images and map each option to a position on the preview. Customers see exactly what they’re getting before they buy.
  1. Prepare images for each variation (individual charms, color options, accessories). Each image becomes a layer.
  2. Upload to Podifai and map images to product options.
  3. Adjust size, position, and rotation in the visual editor.
For text options, you can also set curvature, link to font swatches, and connect to customer-selected fonts.
Use PNG with transparent backgrounds for option layers (charms, engravings, materials). Your base product image can be PNG or JPG. Keep images under 2MB each for best performance.
Add a text input option, then in the live preview editor set curvature, font, size, and position. Customers type their text and see it curve on the product image in real time — great for rings, bracelets, and pendants.
Not currently. Podifai uses high-quality 2D rendering — you can upload 3D-rendered product images for a realistic look, but the preview engine is 2D. This keeps your product page fast and lightweight.
Yes. Customers can upload photos, logos, or artwork directly on your product page and see it in the live preview before purchasing.

​
Setup & Customization

Yes. Everything is point-and-click — add options, upload images, set up live preview, style to match your brand. Zero code required.
An Option Set is a custom configuration you build from scratch for a specific product. A Template is a pre-built option set for common use cases (jewelry engraving, gift personalization, etc.) that you can apply and customize. Templates save setup time; Option Sets give you full control.
There’s no hard limit. However, we recommend keeping it under 10–15 options for the best customer experience. Use conditional logic to show only relevant options.
Use Podifai’s dynamic pricing feature. Click on any option value and assign an additional price. The total updates automatically on the product page, cart, and checkout — powered by Shopify Functions for native checkout integration.
You can show or hide options based on customer selections. For example, only show “Engraving Text” when the customer selects “Add Engraving: Yes.” Set rules in a visual editor — no code needed.
Use Image Swatch options with live preview. Upload individual charm images as transparent PNGs, map each to a position on your base product image, and customers pick charms that appear on the preview in real time.

​
Orders & Operations

All custom options selected by customers are automatically included in your Shopify order details. You’ll see them in your admin panel, order confirmation emails, and packing slips.
Customization details are attached to each Shopify order line item. You can view them in Orders within the Podifai dashboard or in your Shopify admin. Export or forward order details to your supplier as you normally would.
Yes. Podifai uses Shopify Functions to sync pricing across product page, cart, and checkout. The customer always sees the same accurate total, and discounts work normally.

​
Technical Questions

No. Podifai is optimized for performance with native form injection and CDN-delivered images. Your store will remain fast and responsive.
Yes. Podifai works alongside other Shopify apps. If you’re using another product options app, disable it first to avoid conflicts.
Podifai injects options on the native Shopify product page. Compatibility with third-party page builders depends on how they render the product form. If you run into issues, contact us with your store link and we’ll help.
Podifai options are independent of Shopify’s 100-variant limit. You can add unlimited custom options without creating additional variants.
You can manually translate option labels and descriptions. Full automatic translation and integration with apps like Langify and Weglot is on our roadmap.
Customers can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10MB. Uploaded images are processed and displayed in the live preview automatically.
