Who Is This For?
Smart Product Designer is built for store owners who want to offer product personalization without complexity, whether you run a print-on-demand store, a local print shop, a corporate merchandise store, or sell custom gifts and event merchandise.
If you sell products people want to make their own, this plugin is for you.
Coming Soon
We are actively building new features based on real store owner needs. Here’s what’s coming next:
Request a Quote for Custom Designs
Let customers submit their design for a quote before placing an order, ideal for bulk orders, complex prints, or corporate merchandise where pricing needs approval before checkout.
Product Size and Print Area Based Pricing
Automatically adjust the product price based on the print area size or product dimensions. Charge more for a full-front print than a pocket print, pricing that reflects the real cost of the job.
Restrict and Resize the Design Area on Product Sides
Define exact boundaries for where customers can place design elements on each product side. Restrict the design area to a specific zone, keeping designs within your printable area and reducing print errors.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my product/variation image as the design canvas background?
Yes. Smart Product Designer lets you use the product's own image or the variation image for variable products as the canvas background. No separate mockup upload needed. This keeps your product images and design canvas always in sync.
What types of products can I use this plugin with?
The plugin works with any WooCommerce product type including T-shirts, mugs, phone cases, business cards, caps, posters, and more. It supports both simple and variable products.
Can I see what customers designed before printing?
Yes, you can view and print customer designs directly from the WooCommerce order edit screen.
Can customers design multiple sides of a product (front/back)?
Yes, the plugin supports multi-side customization. You can create design templates with multiple product sides (e.g., front, back, sleeves).
Can I restrict customization to specific products or variations only?
Yes. For example, you can enable the designer only on your "Custom Design" t-shirt product, while your other t-shirt products stay as regular, you decide which ones get it.
Great Support, very responsive and helpful!
They even implemented one of the features we were needing within a couple of days.
Plugin setup is easy enough; and the server is able to handle it, unlike a different plugin that would freeze.
Thank you!!

Great plugin and amongst the best support we have ever had. The plugin is very easy to use and the setup process was simple. The team quickly understood our requirements and added useful features like product and variation level design settings. They also helped resolve setup issues on our end and were very responsive throughout. Highly recommended.

Thought product would come with some clip art
Codeyweb·India·Mar 18, 2026
Hello there, Thank you for taking out time to share your experience with the Smart Product Designer plugin.
Regarding clip arts, we don't include predefined ones by default as every business configures these based on their own design needs and use cases. If you have thoughts on specific categories or types of clip arts you'd like to see bundled with the plugin, we'd love to hear them, it's definitely something we're considering as an addon.
On another note, the good news is that the two features you requested are now live in v1.3.0 (released 16 March 2026):
Custom font upload — upload and use your own fonts directly in the designer
Canvas zoom — scroll to zoom in and out on the design canvas
Please update to v1.3.0 and let us know how it goes. We'd love to turn this into a 5-star experience!
In future, If you face any issues, kindly reach out to our support team.
