In short
What Online Designer does for your store
Online Designer is the design editor at the heart of Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. Customers start from a template or a blank print area, add text, photos, cliparts, shapes and QR codes, and see each side of the product as they work. You set the print areas, bleed and safe zone per product, and every approved design reaches your team as a print-ready file on the order.
Without an editor, every personalised order becomes a back-and-forth: the customer describes what they want, your designer mocks it up, and proofs go round by email.
Customers cannot see the result, so they hesitate at checkout.
Designers spend hours on simple text changes.
Files arrive at the wrong size, without bleed or in RGB.
Every new product needs its own design workflow.

The website is very well made. However, I would like to point out the quick response of the staff, especially Ms. Andrea, who solved all our problems very quickly and kindly. Thanks.
NBDesigner is a very robust plugin for printing shops. It may take a bit of time to learn, as I am, but the support team is there to help. I've been in printing 30 years and I am impressed with how the developers have thought this plugin through. It has everything.
Online Designer ships inside Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. One licence covers every module, and they work together on the same product page.
Straight answers about Online Designer, checked against the plugin.
What is the Cmsmart Online Designer?
It is the product design editor in Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. Customers personalise products with templates, text, photos and cliparts, and you receive print-ready files with the order.
Which products can I sell with it?
Any WooCommerce product you can define as one or more print areas: business cards, flyers, posters, stickers, T-shirts, mugs, phone cases, bags and more.
Does it output print-ready files?
Yes. Since 2.16.0 the plugin produces a print-ready PDF for each design; PNG, SVG and JPG CMYK downloads can be enabled as well.
Can customers start from templates?
Yes. You add templates per product or use the global template store, and you can lock template layers so customers only change what you allow.
Does the editor work with print options and prices?
Yes. Pricing Options appear beside the canvas, so buyers change size, paper or quantity while they design and see the final price.
Can you build a custom editor for our product?
Yes, as custom development. Product-specific editors, configurators and production integrations are scoped and quoted per project.
