Automating Artwork Swapper using Zepto Product Personalizer (Shopify)

Automated personalization. 

Note that we're working on our own Product Personalization feature (for Shopify), so to keep things simple, you should first review how to use Our Product Personalization Feature. You may find the features you need are already part of your account, and you do not require the use of Zepto or other 3rd party apps. 

If you would like to proceed with Zepto, our Artwork Swapper feature allows you as the seller to customize product artwork for each individual sale. This is perfect if you're a seller on Etsy or Shopify and want to allow the customer to personalize their artwork or make things bespoke for each order.

If you're using the Shopify app, it's also possible to use our Artwork Swapper feature in conjunction with a service such as Zepto Product Personalizer to automate the customization of certain fields.

Using Product Personalizer, you can allow customers to input their own information such as names, dates, or messages when placing an order, which will automatically generate artwork and submit it for manufacture. 

To find out more information on this, check out the video, and follow this guide to get it set up.

Note that we are not affiliated with Zepto Product Personalizer and support of this product is limited to the scope of this guide. If you have any questions about Product Personalizer, you should contact their support.

This guide requires you are familiar with Artwork Swapper and how it works. Find out more here.
