Additional step to enable customization on Shopify
To enable customization feature on Shopify, you need to add a block to your Shopify product page.
Don't worry, adding this block will only apply to QPMN products, and it won't affect any other non-QPMN products in your store. This is a targeted integration that keeps the customization functionality isolated to just the QPMN items.
Once you've added the customization block to your Shopify product templates, your customers will be able to personalize and customize the QPMN products they're interested in purchasing.
Step 1: Go to your Shopify admin page and click Online Page > Theme
Step 2: Click the "Homepage" on top and select "Products" to edit you store product page.
Step 3: Now we need to add a "QPMN Design Button" to product page. First you need to decide where to add the button and mouse over to that position and click the blue +.
Step 4: Click Apps and select "QPMN Design Button". Now the Edit and Preview Button will appear on this page, then click save to save the change.
Visit your product page, if you can see the Edit and Preview Button. You are all set. And its time to promote your store.
