This time, we will show you how to enable file uploading on the product detail page.
Recently, there has been a growing fever for personalization to customize products exclusively for oneself. There is a demand for incorporating one's favorite images into products, and it is my impression that more and more people want products that are unique to them.
In this article, we will introduce an application that enables the uploading of jpg, png, and other image files on the product detail page to sell personalized products.

- I want to incorporate various conditional logic into the product detail page.

It is possible to do a great many things.
Although it is a paid application, I think it is not too much to say that "Product Options" is sufficient for almost everything when it comes to adjusting the product detail pages. In case you are interested, here is a YouTube video.
How to make it possible to upload images on the product page
Among the many features, we will introduce "how to allow customers to upload image files on the product detail page.
The flow is as follows.
- Reach the product detail page
- Upload an image on the product detail page
- Proceed to cart and checkout
- Uploaded images can be viewed from the administration screen → Order Management
(1) Reach the product page and (2) Upload an image
③ Checkout and visibility in cart
(4) Visibility on the management screen
Finally, the visibility on the administration screen is as follows. Clicking on the section called "Options for Upload" will make the uploaded photo (image) available for download.
(Incidentally, I did not see any uploaded images in my store's settings -> File Management, so I have the impression that they are uploaded to Bold's Shopify store or somewhere else, and only the link is retrieved.)
Specific method for setting up image uploads
Now that we understand the flow of uploading images, we will look at the actual procedure, including the settings.
(1) Install the application
Install Bold's "Product Options" app from the link below into your Shopify store.

How to enable uploading of favorite photos/images in [Shopify app] product details Summary
This is how to enable customers to upload their own images on the product detail page. This application is very useful not only for uploading images, but also for changing the display of selectable items according to each condition and other various functions.
