General General Questions

Apologies. I’m sure this thread already exists here but i cant seem to land on the right keywords to find it.



Anyway… Possible? and if so, how to, & best practice :



We’re selling custom embroidered shirts. Want buyer after, or during checkout process to be able to attach or upload a file (.ZIP, .JPG, .whatever) with order.



Thoughts.



THANKS IN ADVANCE for your time and HELP!

Add a product option to yor product and select “file” as your option instead of drop down or radio etc.



you can also do this as a global option and apply to many products at once

Hmm John, I read his question differently. I read that he wanted the customer to be ablle to upload a file (like artwork) along with his order, not to be able to download a file from his site when the order is placed… maybe I’m wrong.



If I’m right, you want to add a form to your checkout page that will have a FILE type of element. See the KB for how to use the Forms addon. There is the option to have the block appear in the checkout process.
