25 product customizers built with Kickflip
Here are 25 product customizer examples that are sure to get you inspired.
1. Watch
Key feature: Image questions
We’ve created Image questions for each customizable area. Every answer contains an image. When the answer is selected, Kickflip displays the correct image of the product. To create these images, we started from a 3D model and rendered a transparent png image for every part of the product and every variation we wanted to show.
2. Cork Wedge Shoes
Key feature: Dynamic coloration
Instead of creating an image for each color, we started from a high-res photo and we simply created an image for every part of the shoe and then desaturated it. The goal was to make it look white but to keep the leather texture. We’ve uploaded these images in image questions. From there, we've created color answers containing Hex color codes. When a color answer is selected by the customer, Kickflip dynamically applies it on the image.
3. Beach Cruiser Bike
Key feature: Multiple views
For this beach cruiser bike customizer, we have created 2 product views: a perspective view and a side view. Within an image question, you can upload an image that corresponds to each view you are offering. Then your customers can navigate through views by clicking on arrows next to the product preview or on the little dots under it.
4. Skateboard
Key feature: Behind the scene
Sometimes, you want to upload an image but that image isn't necessarily a question. It could be a part of the product that isn't customizable or a shadow for example. In that case, you can drag your question “behind the scene”. Behind the scene questions do not appear in the question panel of your customizer.
5. Baseball Cap
Key feature: Switch view
Sometimes, you will want to show a specific view based on the question your customer is interacting with. You can easily accomplish that with the “Switch view” setting. Simply select the view you want to display and you are done!
6. Soccer Ball
Key feature: Lighting effect
When you create an image question containing color answers, you can apply lighting effects for each answer. This will make the product look more shiny or matte. That’s especially useful to better render dark colors.
7. Makeup Bundle
Key feature: Value Questions and Rules
The first question of this product is called “Bundle Type” and it’s a value question — a question that has no effect on the product visual. In this case, we are using that question to display multiple image questions, ultimately displaying the corresponding product bundle. Here are some examples of the rules we’ve created to make this work:
When Bundle Type is Eyeshadow and Mascara then Casing should be Eyeshadow Mascara.
When Bundle Type is Eyeshadow and Mascara then Lipstick should be unavailable.
8. Sectional Sofa
Key feature: Pricing Upcharge
We have created a question allowing customers to add an ottoman for an extra $299. When it’s selected, the total price is instantly updated. You can easily create pricing upcharges like that in Edit Pricing section of Kickflip's dashboard.
9. Electric Guitar
Key feature: Logo upload
We’ve added a Logo question to this product allowing customers to upload a logo in a predefined area. Once they upload their logo (it can be a PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, EPS or HEIC), it’s previewed on the product. The original file uploaded by your customer can be downloaded after the order has been placed.
10. T-Shirt
Key feature: Text Question
Customers can add a text of up to 10 characters on that T-Shirt. A text can be placed on a product using a straight or curved path or within a multiline text box. Setting a character limit like we did in this case is optional. You could also decide to only allow numbers or letters and even apply text modifiers like “Uppercase”. Last but not least, we've built a feature to prevent customers from typing bad words.
11. Phone Case
Key feature: Font Question
That phone case customizer includes a text question allowing customers to type their own text on the product. From that text question, we’ve created a font question and uploaded four fonts for the customers to choose from. You can upload TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2 files. If you're mostly targeting customers with modern browsers, you can simply use WOFF and WOFF2 formats. If you want to expand support as wide as possible, you should upload OTF and TTF files as well.
12. Gaming Controller
Key feature: Image Thumbnails
As part of creating a question, you can upload an image that acts as a thumbnail for each answer. That’s the image your customers will see and interact with in the question panel. This joystick customizer has pretty slick thumbnail images with a glossy effect — a pretty good way to add some pop to an interface!
13. Necklace
Key feature: Value Question
Sometimes all you need is a simple dropdown to let your customers choose between a few sizes or maybe shipping options, without affecting the visuals. That’s what we did here, with a value question and a dropdown input type. Other input types are also available such as thumbnail, radio and label buttons.
14. Boxing Gloves
Key feature: Print Area
You can generate a print-ready PDF file using Kickflip. That's what we did on this boxing glove customizer. The customer can upload a logo within a specified area and move, resize and rotate it. Once the order is placed, a print-ready file containing his logo is generated and can be downloaded. Text can also be included in print areas.
15. Scooter
Key feature: Descriptions
In that scooter customizer demo, we've used descriptions to give more details to the customers about a question and its answers. Descriptions can be single or multi-line and can be formatted using bold, italic and bullet points.
16. Burger
Key feature: Rules
This burger customizer contains many rules that trigger some events based on the customer’s answers. For example, this rule will display fries when a combo is selected:
When Lunch Is Combo then Fries should be Yes.
17. Sneakers
Key feature: Rules
In this demo, there are 2 texts, one on each shoe. We wanted the font and color of these texts to match. To accomplish that, we’ve created a few simple rules like this one:
When Left Text Color is Black then Right Text Color should be Black.
18. Engagement Ring
Key feature: Image Questions
Just another great example containing image questions. Here, they're used to alternate between gems or metal types.
19. Suitcase
Key feature: Focusable Areas
Activating that setting, like we did here, highlights a customizable area when your customer hovers over it. Clicking on the area displays the corresponding question, providing an intuitive way for your customers to navigate.
20. Hoodie
Key feature: Color Answer
This is another case where we’ve used color answers. Instead of creating 16 images, one for each color, we simply created one and applied colors dynamically to bring the customizer to life. That feature greatly reduces setup and loading time!
21. Gaming Chair
Key feature: Large thumbnail buttons
There are times when you have to show a larger image of the answer to your customer. Let's say you need to show a texture better, for instance. To accomplish that, we have used the large thumbnails buttons input type. The width and height of these buttons as well as the quantity per row can be set in the theme editor.
22. Notebook
Key feature: Archived answers
Are some of your product options out of stock? With a built-from-scratch customizer you would have to email your developer asking to manually remove the option. With Kickflip, you can simply login to your dashboard, open the product builder, archive the option, hit the Publish button and your customizer is instantly updated.
23. Neon
Key feature: Neon Effect
Want to build a neon customizer? Easy! With Kickflip you can add a neon effect to your text in one click.
24. Coffee Mug + Coffee Bag
Key feature: Layers
Just like in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, Kickflip has layers. Every question is on a separate layer. That's what allowed us to place the cap over the mug to create that nice transparent effect.
25. Headphones
Key feature: Theme Editor
Using Kickflip's Theme Editor, we've fully customized this theme to match with our brand. Every little detail can be personalized to suit your needs, from roudings to fonts and colors.
