In short

Can Cmsmart tailor its product designer plugin to my store's products?

Yes. Cmsmart tailors the Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce to your business: new modules such as photo books, QR codes or custom shapes, changes to pricing, template and proofing workflows, 3D previews and print-ready files. It suits B2C personalisation and B2B bulk orders. The work is quoted per project after a free scoping call.

About this service

For many eCommerce businesses, off-the-shelf product design tools are too limited:

  • Rigid templates that don’t match your catalog (t-shirts, packaging, furniture, labels, gifts)
  • No bulk order or proof approval workflow for B2B clients
  • Weak 3D visualization that frustrates customers
  • Hidden costs when scaling to new products or sides
  • Poor mobile UX, leading to abandoned carts

A Baymard Institute report shows that nearly 70% of online shopping carts are abandoned, with poor UX and lack of trust being top reasons (Baymard, 2024). SMEs lose hundreds of dollars in refunds, abandoned carts, and missed bulk deals—not because of product quality, but because customers can’t customize easily.

Beyond the plugin

Custom modules and apps on top of the designer

Cmsmart Product Designer ships the editor, options, uploads, approval and print files. When your product needs something it does not do, we build that as custom development and keep it separate from the plugin, so plugin updates stay safe.

  • Product-specific editors

    An editor shaped around one product, for example a configurator made of parts with its own rules.

  • 3D and layered configurators

    A 3D preview can be switched on per product on desktop. A 3D configurator of parts is custom work.

  • Rules beyond conditional logic

    Blocking incompatible part combinations, or pricing per part for a dealer, goes beyond what the plugin documents.

  • Connections to production

    Job tickets, a RIP hot folder or an MIS connection for automated production.

Look and feel

Designer interface and branding

The look of the editor around your product can be adjusted to your brand identity as custom development. What the editor does stays the plugin's behaviour, so the two can be updated independently.

  • Brand and labels

    Colours, wording and the layout of the panels around the canvas.

  • Locked brand layers

    Template layers can be locked so that brand artwork stays intact. This ships in the plugin.

  • Mobile behaviour

    The editor is checked on phones as part of the work. A 3D preview is not shown on mobile.
