What is the Product File Upload Element?
The Product File Upload element, integrated into the Product module, allows customers to upload files—whether images, documents, or other formats—right from the product page. This is an ideal solution for businesses that require personalized information or media to complete orders, such as:
- Print-on-demand services (custom t-shirts, mugs, etc.)
- Personalized design offerings (e.g., custom engravings)
- Document-based services (legal documentation or forms)
This element streamlines the personalization process, giving customers an easy way to upload relevant files while simplifying order management for store owners.
