Text personalization
This guide walks you through setting up text personalization in your Customix template. Use this feature to allow your customers to personalize a text field, such as adding a name, message, or quote.
To begin:
In the Template editor, click on the Text tab from the left sidebar.
Type your default text (e.g., "Your text").
Click Add text to place it on the canvas.
Once added, you can resize, change the color, and rotate it as needed.
Click the text layer on the canvas or select it from the Layers list. On the right panel:
Go to the Personalization tab.
Check the Personalize text option.
Now, the text becomes editable by customers on the storefront.
You can also:
Change the Label to show a name like "Add your name".
Add a Help text to guide customers how to enter the text.
Set a Placeholder to guide customers.
Define Max length to restrict input character count.
Check Personalize font to let customers select their preferred font.
From the list of uploaded font folders, select the options you want to offer.
If you select a folder that contains multiple fonts, it will be shown as a multiple-choice option on the storefront.
The selected fonts will appear on the right panel under Values.
To change the font style directly in the editor, select the text and choose from the font dropdown in the top toolbar.
Check Personalize with color palette to let users pick a color from your predefined color assets.
Or check Personalize with color picker to allow freeform color selection.
You can also:
Set a default color.
Customize the label if needed (e.g., "Choose text color").
For each personalize options, there will be 2 fields:
Toggle Required if the customer must enter this text to proceed.
Optionally, add Help text to provide instructions or notes.
To create a curved text effect:
Enable the Curved text checkbox when adding the text layer.
Once added, click the text and navigate to the Content panel on the right.
Use the Curving slider to adjust the arc.
Set Start point and End point (in degrees) to control the angle of curvature.
Optionally, check Flip text to reverse the curve direction.
For other personalized options, it will be similar to normal text box.
