I have just found this video. Thank you! Put Im just wondering when making a new template, i have to choose JSON or Liquid. Which should I be choosing? And what document are you copy and pasting from?
OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH! After HOURS of trying I finally found this EXTREMELY HELPFUL video, ahh I’m finally able to start setting the rest up now. Thanks so much!
Andrew - this tutorial was life changing for me. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get this on my Shopify store for a year! I had your tutorial on my iPad and followed each instruction on my Mac. SUCCESS! OMG. Thank you so much.
Great video. Thanks. I understand the need for your important point on starting out by making a duplicate of the store. What I don't understand are several related items: 1. How do you deploy the customization changes to make them LIVE when you successfully finished making the customization? 2. What do you do with the "duplicate" if it gets messed up? 3. Where is this "duplicate" and what is it called? 4. When and how to you "leave" the "duplicate" version and revert (either temporarily or permanently) back to the original store version?
Ahhhh, I think I just discovered the answers to my questions. I just noticed a few scrolls down from where you showed how to duplicate that there is a new name listed there with options to publish, rename, remove, edit, etc.
Hi Andrew, thank you for sharing this video. 1 question I have, that was not clear from your video at 4:45-4:55 section was when you go to rename the template. You say to copy it from the document and paste it so it is exactly like the document, 1 problem, you did not show what "document" you are copying from or where to find that "document". I have watched the video several times but cannot for the life of me figure out where you are copying the info from before pasting it in. Any help you could provide would be fantastic! Thanks again
Hi Andrew, I've watched a lot of your content while working on my own projects and I wanted to let you know that you have been a major help. Your videos always provide all of the necessary information about the application and how to install it. Thank you for all you do and keep being awesome :)
Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for this video. It's something that I really needed to add to my website and so far I had only found paying apps to do it. I'm looking at your playlist and you're going to save me so much money!!! I know how to code in SQL and VBA, so I'm not afraid to go into the code for my website. BTW, I love how you add comments and clean up your lines; I'm like that too (and a fellow québécoise)
Hello! Thank you for making this video. I found it very helpful, but I too am having trouble finding the document you say is linked. Any help finding it would be a greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Andrew, I was so scared to try and code a customizable field. Even though Shopify has changed since this video, your instructions were very easy to follow. Thank you! Thank you!
Hey Andrew! For some reason when I follow the steps it says ' the customizable template does not exist'. I've tried both the json and the liquid files. Does it matter which we use?
Hi Kachiri! It is the same process as with text. Step 1: From Shopify UI Elements Generator choose dropdown select. i.imgur.com/8hqQJ8W.png Paste the code where you want it to be shown. Step 2: Repeat the Step 1, but this time choose i.imgur.com/Yx92NxZ.png Paste the code where you want it to be shown, and that should be it. Tell me how it went! Cheers!
Means a lot to me that you took a moment in your day to write this comment! Glad I could help - wishing you all the best and let me know if there is something in particular you'd like to see!
I had to stop and laugh watching this video because I just watched another and, as a boomer, was a bit intimidated. Yours is perfect! You speak Boomer tech well, lol. Thank you sooo much. Back to the video ...
You are amazing Andrew! Thank you for thoroughly explaining everything in a way a newbie can understand. I appreciate your help getting my website launched!
I just followed the steps, done everything and BOOM - messed up the code completely. Thank you for convincing to create a copy of the template beforehand. I will try again and hope it works this time :D
This helped me so much I was so stressed about how I was going to figure out how to put all of my options and this saved my life 🥰 thanks also I love your accent
thanks a ton buddy! i watched your how to add img video and this video and added the code and now i have got both options for my custom pod store! thanks a ton and keep up the good work and god bless u!
This is Amazing! I needed to learn this desperately. You dont know how much you just saved me. Im subscribing, watching, liking, and even letting ads play through.
Hi Andrew, I bought a theme called Broadcast and for some reason, I do not see "{% section 'product' %}" when I create a new template. I also don't see "product-template.liquid" in my sections. Will you help me please? thank you!
Dear Andrew, your tutorials are par excellence. Thank you so much. May I ask one further question related to Shopify Custom Product Options? Once I have added my option is there a way to include a Price or dollar value to each Option (which hopefully if selected will add to the Total amount?) Thank you again kindly, Edward.
I needed this. I want to make customizable products and I have already spent hundreds of dollars for a Shopify “expert” to help me but I had to reverse some of their work. I was almost at my wits end. Until now. Thanks,
Hi Andrew, This looks like the solution I am in need of and it seems very clear to implement. I would like to ask, Is it possible to make a single template with 20 custom fields, but only enable the required fields per product? If the above is not possible, then I would need to create around 50 different templates for different product types. Thanks!
@@EcomExperts I'm using booster theme at the moment . I purchased some themes off etsy. When i add the coding it doesn't set up properly. The steps in your video aren't the same. There isn't a type= submit so I don't know what to do now and I really like this theme cause I got a lot for a good price
Hey Andrew, thanks for the video. I still don't understand, where in the order section I should see the input from the customer made on the website while purchasing. Where do you take the Information for example of his name he wrote in the text box for the engraving? Thanks for answering this question for me.
When I add a new template I do not get the same screen as all the videos im watching, and when I add one with what the page lets me, it doesn't have any code on the new template. HELP!
Could you make a video on coding for conditional form fields? For example, if the customer clicks a checkbox that they want to customize the product, then additional line items will appear that they can fill in. Thanks! And great video!
Fantastic videos Andrew. I’m in the process of building a store with a friend and I had a question that I hoped you could help answer. Would it be better from an SEO and ads perspective to have a product for each colour variant? We want to sell watch straps, we will only start with 14 products but each product has around 4 colours and several sizes. So I am wondering what you think would be a better strategy to start out with? One product and several variants in it, or one product per colour and size variants in each colour? Maybe I’m I’ve thinking it but when I go to Google I see one brand with multiple listings when they have multiple products for each colour and the others brands with one colour and multiple variants get less listings which makes me think a colour per listing could lead to more traffic and more sales. Thank you for your fantastic videos!
Hey, I have a question. It doesn't work at my shop because I have added Debutify 2.0.2 I would really appreciate if you could do the same video, but with Debutify 2.0.2 Because I try to figure it out for hours. I would be really thankful if you could do that.
Hi Tina! In case you want this to work on Debutify with all products: Don't create separate templates, just add the code from Shopify UI Elements Generator to product-template.liquid snippet :)
This was so helpful! Thank you. One thing though, when when I was finished two versions of the listing displayed on the product page. The old one without the customization and the new one with the customization box. What have I done wrong?
@@EcomExpertsHi Andrew I didn’t everything in this video however when I published and I selected the product I wanted in the drop down it gave me a customized which I chose. After I saved everything n went to my website it gave me this message “Liquid error; Error in tag ‘section’. Product customizable template is not a valid section type. Can you please help. Thank you
You have a large amount of commenters asking you WHERE you copy the code into the product-customizable-template from and you never answer. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the video and you literally cut it out! Why would you not show this? Sooo annoying!
Hi, great work. I have tried but when i create a new product template, there is very little code and when i search for "“section product template" it is not there? Is there another template my theme could be using?
Yes there is but that's realy not something I can explain on a "plug & play" RU-vid video unfortunately. At this point you got to bite the bullet and get a dev involved OR get an app with the feature - We reviewed a couple that offer this. Hope this helps :)
When I select Add new template, the dialogue box looks different. It asks to select template type, either JSON or liquid. I am using the Dawn theme. Which type should I select?
I just stumbled onto your video and I love it. It appears to be very helpful in adding customizable fields. I am however not finding the document you talk about to copy and paste from. Can you help he find it?
This is awesome. Thank you! I don't have a lot of experience with coding and I am just starting my store. Do you have to do this whole process if your products require different customization fields? For example, Initials for one item or Name with birthday for another item? Thanks again! I cant wait to give this a try!
Hello, I added a custom checkbox, however it does not show in the carts line items. Is there something else that needs to happen to include it in the cart and the customers email?
Thank you so much!!! You just gain a lifetime subscriber, I love how you gave a lot of details yet it was very easy to follow. Thanks again, great video :)
looks great but for more clearance show the result with every step for it would be better for understanding like paste code and show that code result what you created
That's awesome! Thanks so much for helping with this. Do you know how I would log the orders along with their custom options to a spreadsheet automatically?
There is a way to do that, but you'll need some external software. Zapier is really good. zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations/shopify/2758/add-new-paid-shopify-orders-to-a-google-sheets-spreadsheet
WoW excellent information. I have a product with variants but I don't like that when i enter the page the image of the first variant is preselected. Is there a way to choose a photo other than the variants?
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I created the new template and it was blank. Yours already had all the coding pop up. Did I miss something? I have no experience with this😅
Thank you so much, was exactly what I was looking for! A like and sub from me! Though I picked the checkbox option and after viewing it on the page, the text in under the radio checkbox, not beside the checkbox circle **Edit** I figured it out, just needed to wrap it in a div
This was awesome thank you Andrew. I customized one of my products last week. Tonight I went in to customize another product with a new message, but it didn't work. Not sure what I did wrong. Can you instruct on adding a second code for another product please?
Hi Andrew, thank you for the thorough tutorial. I am using the "Express" theme and cannot locate any where within the customisable product template code, created under Sections, to add the Form Field code. Would you mind please taking a look and suggesting where I can paste the Form Field code? Thanks in advance :)
I think this is related to my question as well. I'm using the Prestige Theme and am unable to locate the place to add form code. I though it was just me.
OK! Express is a little bit different so instead of searching for add to cart button try searching for {% render 'product-form', . Place the code right above it and it should work.
Unfortunately for different pricing you'll need to use one of the apps. We reviewed Bold product options and Infinite Options by ShopPad and both of them are amazing solutions. There are also some free options like Infinite Product Options by HulkApps. :)
Thanks so much Andrew! I have the Icon theme and I can't find the type="submit" section. I pasted it above button and it appeared on my website, however now none of my other variants work (e.g. selecting a size (small, medium, large) and the add name section appears down the bottom of the page. Thanks again if you can help!
Is there an update to this or something? When I go to add a new template I get a completely different option and it does not work as shown in this video.
