You can find out more about the new Unlisted status in the Shopify help docs:

Zapier integration for powerful workflow automation
Sign Customiser now integrates with Zapier, unlocking the ability to connect your sign business to over 8,000 apps and 450 AI tools. This powerful integration enables you to automate virtually any workflow, from sending order notifications to your team to updating CRMs and generating invoices automatically.

The integration provides three essential triggers that power your automation workflows: new form submissions capture every customisation request as it arrives, new orders trigger actions the moment a customer places an order, and new products notify you whenever a custom sign is created in your catalogue. Each trigger delivers complete event data to your chosen apps, enabling sophisticated automation scenarios that save time and reduce manual work.
Whether you’re syncing customer data to your CRM, sending notifications to Slack, creating invoices in accounting software, or leveraging AI tools for intelligent order processing, the Zapier integration puts the full power of automation at your fingertips. This is particularly valuable for growing businesses looking to scale their operations without adding administrative overhead.
What’s Changed
- Three powerful triggers - Automate workflows based on form submissions, new orders, and product creation events
- 8,000+ app connections - Integrate with popular tools like Slack, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Airtable, and many more
- 450 AI tool integrations - Leverage artificial intelligence for order processing, customer communication, and business insights

Enhanced admin UI for channel letter and lightbox signs
Sign Customiser has redesigned the merchant admin experience specifically for channel letter and lightbox sign configuration. The enhanced interface makes it easier to set up and manage the complex multi-component structure of illuminated signs with clearer terminology, nested navigation, and context-aware guidance.
What’s Changed
- Letter Components navigation - The “Letter Types” section has been renamed to “Letter Components” with new nested navigation, making it intuitive to configure the building blocks of channel letter and lightbox signs
- Clearer component structure - Better visual organisation helps you understand how face, sides, trim, back-lit (halo), borders, and internal lighting components fit together
- Context-aware setup guidance - Onboarding instructions now specifically explain how to configure channel letter components (like 3D Illuminated Letters with face, sides, trim) and lightbox components (face, back, sides, borders)
- Enhanced colour previews - Visual colour swatches now appear throughout the admin interface, making it easier to manage the multiple colour options available for different sign components
- Improved product type forms - The interface for assigning colours, materials, and pricing to individual letter components has been redesigned for better clarity
- Frame Fit pricing clarity - Setup instructions for lightbox signs now clearly explain the area-based pricing calculation (width × height) used for frame-focused designs
- Better visual hierarchy - Cards and tables have been refined to reduce clutter when working with multi-layered component configurations
-
UV print options for neon UV signs
Sign Customiser now supports UV printing on neon signs, giving your customers more creative freedom when designing their custom neon UV signs. This powerful new feature allows merchants to offer both traditional neon tube colours and modern UV-printed face designs on the same sign.
What’s Changed
- UV print customisation - Customers can now select UV print materials and colours for the face of neon signs
- Dual colour options - Configure both tube colours and UV print options independently for maximum design flexibility
- Improved terminology - The customiser interface now clearly distinguishes between “Tube Colors” (the neon tubes) and “UV Print” (the face material)
- Enhanced product types - Neon product types can now specify which colour options apply to tubes versus UV print surfaces
- Better visual representation - Order emails and product images now accurately reflect both tube and UV print colour selections

Per-Word Measurements
You can now see the exact measurements for each individual word on your sign, not just the overall sign dimensions. Simply select any word to view its specific height, width, and sizing details.
These measurements are currently only supported on signs using either the Multi Color/Font or Drag/Scale/Rotate feature. You can disable this feature in the settings page under “Measurements for individual sign parts”.
We’ve also resolved an issue where resizing individual words wouldn’t properly respect your minimum font height settings. Now when you drag to resize any word, the system correctly checks that word’s size requirements, ensuring your text always meets your specified minimums.
-
Bulk price adjustments across all pricing options
Sign Customiser now makes it simple to apply percentage-based pricing changes across all options in your customiser at once, perfect for seasonal promotions, sales events, or margin adjustments.

What’s Changed
- Percentage-based adjustments - Increase or decrease all prices by a specific percentage for consistent markup changes
- Simple controls - Select whether to increase or decrease prices, then enter your percentage adjustment
- Instant preview - See exactly how your percentage adjustment affects pricing before applying changes
- Bulk application - Apply percentage changes across all pricing tiers simultaneously to maintain your pricing structure
-
Improved volumetric shipping configuration and Shopify weight integration
Sign Customiser’s admin interface for volumetric shipping has been significantly improved, making it easier to configure dimensional weight pricing for your signs.
What’s Changed
- Fixed weight data not being passed to Shopify products - Resolved a critical issue where calculated weights weren’t being added to products when “Add weight to product” was enabled
- Enhanced volumetric shipping UI - Added helpful icons, informational banners, and calculation examples to guide configuration
- Improved visual hierarchy - Nested volumetric options now display in a card with proper indentation for better clarity
- Added documentation links - Direct links to relevant help articles and Shopify shipping settings
- Currency code display - Prices now show currency codes alongside values for clearer international pricing
- Weight calculation examples - Live examples help you understand how volumetric weight is calculated for your products
-
Enhanced product pricing protection
Sign Customiser now includes enhanced safeguards to prevent the creation of products with invalid pricing. The system automatically blocks products with zero or negative prices, ensuring your store maintains accurate pricing for all custom sign configurations. This fix helps prevent potential order fulfilment issues and protects against pricing calculation errors that could impact your business operations.
