    Add a discounted price on your custom signs

    You can now display the “discounted price” next to the “original price” for your custom signs. Using this feature will let the customer instantly see the original and discounted price.

    Discounted prices with Sign Customiser Shopify app


    Using this feature allows you to apply a discounted percentage or a fixed amount that will be applied to the original price. Both the discounted and original amounts will be displayed together on the app.

    New mobile view

    You can now display all the options for your sign customiser on mobile to display as stacked options one over the other, rather than viewing an individual option per step.

    This new mobile view provides the following

    • A natural verticle scroll behaviour for your customers to view all options quickly on mobile
    • The sign visualizer on mobile can be set to display as “fixed on scroll” which allows it to stay in view as the customer selects different options.
    • The add to cart button can be set to “fixed on scroll” which allows it to stay in view as the customer scrolls up and down the page.

    To enable this new view on your store, view this article.

    Improved sending for custom order emails

    Up until now only orders with a financial status of “PAID” would be legible for sending the custom order email.

    This meant that some orders would not be legible for sending the custom email as some payment providers such as Klarna or afterpay would mark the order as a financial status of PENDING in certain scenarios.

    Making this change means merchants on our apps PRO plan will from now on receive the custom order email as expected.

    Performance and stability update

    We have significantly improved the client side app across multiple fronts, this update has fixed many long standing bugs and made the app overall faster to use, especially on low powered mobile devices.

    This update represents a complete refactor of the client side codebase which opens the door to more advanced features such as “save or share your design” and “live quoting custom images”, along with ensuring we are building on a solid foundation that will allow us to iterate more quickly with new features and minimise the possibility of introducing new bugs.

    Below are the key areas of improvement

    • 15% smaller file size for initial payload ( faster to download and render initially )
    • Increased typing to text render speed by 4X
    • Increased speed for selecting and rendering all client side options by 3X
    • Improved time to render new measurements
    • Improved visualiser text size re-render speed by 4X
    • Custom size measurements now render live as the user moves the slider.
    • Moved to a native select input on mobile and made it easier to provide custom css to the select input and options on desktop and mobile
    • Fix typing issues on Android devices affecting sign text visualisation when using certain keyboards
    • Fixed bug preventing the new product to generate when certain backboard colour options were not selected on mobile

    Automatically generate SVG file of the sign

    The SVG file can be included in the custom manufacturer email generated by our app, and will also be included in the order on Shopify, order email and quote email.

    Save time by having the outlines of the fonts letters automatically created for you in a scalable vector image format that is compatible with most image editing and sign manufacturing programs.

    This file can be used for CNC machines and to help with consistent measurements and price costs with your manufacturer.

    View our new demo highlighting the customisation capabilities using CSS.

    We have added unique class names for all components on our sign customiser app that will now remain for each new deploy.
