Direct answer
Shopify product customizer with live preview
A live product preview shows supported customer choices on a prepared product image before checkout. Podifai connects inputs and selected values to layered 2D previews and configured Multiple Views. Enabled print-ready generation separately exports included text and customer-uploaded artwork as transparent PNGs.
Current boundary: Podifai renders layered 2D previews and supports Multiple Views for configured product surfaces. It does not provide interactive 3D or AR. Enabled print-ready generation exports included text and customer uploads as transparent PNGs, excluding product backgrounds and Image Swatch artwork. Use separate labeled fields for details that cannot be represented accurately in a configured view.

Help shoppers understand the product they are configuring
Without a preview, shoppers must translate option labels into a mental picture. A layered 2D preview shows the current configuration before checkout.
Option labels leave room for interpretation
More combinations than product photos
Eight fonts, six colors, and three placements create 144 combinations. Static photos cannot show every possible selection.
Customers can't picture the final product
Gold chain, emerald pendant, script engraving. They've never seen those three together. Without a live preview, they're buying on hope.
Custom details need confirmation
Names, dates, uploads, colors, and placement choices are easier to check when shoppers can review them together before ordering.
Show the configured 2D view
Real-time 2D composition
Supported text, image, upload, font, color, and charm selections update one layered product preview.
Selections saved with the order
The preview reflects supported choices, and the selected customization details are saved with the Shopify order.
Clearer review before checkout
Shoppers can review the current 2D configuration before checkout instead of relying only on option names.
Live preview works everywhere
Pick a zodiac sign and see it appear on the pendant instantly. Customers choose their sign, preview the result, and buy with confidence.
Pick a zodiac sign, choose chain length and metal, and preview the pendant before checkout.
Storefront display
Use an inline or popup product customizer
Choose how much space the customization flow needs. Both modes support Live Preview. Multiple Views requires Popup mode; inline display does not support view switching.
Inline customizer
Keep options directly on the product page for shorter configurations and immediate interaction. Inline placement depends more on the theme's product-gallery structure.
Popup customizer
Keep the product page compact and move larger customization flows into a focused workspace. Popup uses the full screen on mobile and a fixed-size window on desktop.
One app, two ways to preview
Choose fixed or sequential positioning to match your product layout and prepared preview artwork.
Single Position
Use fixed positioning when a supported preview layer belongs in a defined area, such as initials on a wallet or an image on a product.
Sequential Position
Use sequential positioning for supported selections that occupy successive positions, such as selected charms on a bracelet.
Variant-aware preview
Use the selected Shopify variant image as the background
When Shopify variants control a stocked look, Live Preview can follow the active variant image while keeping personalization layers aligned above it.
One preview setup across variant colors
- Follow the image assigned to the active Shopify variant.
- Keep composition and aspect ratio consistent across variant images.
- Render supported text, images, and option layers above the background.
Storefront Image Editor
Let shoppers fine-tune supported preview layers
Start with a merchant-defined layout, then let shoppers move, resize, or rotate supported text and image layers.
Move
Drag the selected layer to a new position.
Resize
Scale the layer with its size handles.
Rotate
Match an angled or non-horizontal product area.
Customer-controlled cropping and fixed shape masking are not currently available. The editor changes the preview layer only.
Read the Storefront Image Editor guideAdvanced text
Keep personalized text inside the real design area
Combine styling with layout controls so names, messages, and monograms remain readable as input changes.
Curved text and effects
Preview names, messages, and engraving text along supported curves, then apply supported shadow styling.
Fixed width and auto resize
This planned control will keep preview text inside a defined area as shopper input changes.
Left, center, or right alignment
Align text inside the configured preview area for the product design.
Connect the preview to a usable order
1. Configure the shopper view
Map text, uploads and prepared option images to a layered 2D canvas. Use Multiple Views for separate configured surfaces. Check text length, contrast and placement on your actual product.
Preview setup2. Check cart and order details
Add a representative configuration to the cart and check selected values, charges and its preview link. Before launching your store, place a test order and inspect the saved configuration used by fulfillment.
Review order details3. Prepare the production handoff
When enabled, print-ready generation exports included text and customer uploads as a transparent PNG per customized view. Product backgrounds and Image Swatch artwork are excluded. Check the exported file against your production process; the storefront preview is a separate reference.
