We have some really exciting news to share today, as we’ve been working on a new version of Product Customizer for quite some time now, and we’re releasing these changes to shops throughout this week!

We’ve spent the past year completely re-architecting the app to make it a lot more flexible for merchants’ needs. After helping thousands of Shopify merchants set up stores that sell personalized or customized products, it was clear to us that we’d need to make some changes to support stores of all different kinds of sizes to help them sell various types of products.

This can be for a single product, or on the entire store. Many companies offer such discounts where, the more items you purchase, the lower the per-item price.
