File & artwork uploads

Pro feature

File and artwork uploads are part of AddOnBoss Pro.

A product can take a file upload on its own page, next to the options, for a logo or a print-ready design. The file rides through to the order and the pick list with the rest of the choices, so your team has the artwork the moment the order lands.

Add an upload

On the Product Options panel, add a File upload field:

1. Give it a label, "Upload your logo" for example.
2. Set the allowed file types, so a customer sends a PNG or a PDF and not a stray document.
3. Set a size limit in megabytes, or leave it on the sensible default.
4. If you print what arrives, set a smallest accepted resolution and choose whether a file under it is warned about or refused, so a blurry logo is caught on the product page, not at the press.
5. Decide whether the upload is required, and set a fee if it earns one.

Offer a template

Give the upload a template link, a print-ready PDF or a Canva file, and the customer downloads it, fills it in and uploads it back. The template sits right in the upload box, so the trade loop, download the guide, return the artwork, happens in one place without an email back and forth.

Accept more than one file

A single upload takes one file by default, which keeps the common case simple. Where a job needs a set of artwork, front and back, or a page each, raise the number of files the field accepts (up to ten), and set a smallest number where a job is incomplete without them.

The customer adds files into one box with an Add files control, one or several at a time. Each file sits on its own row with its own remove control, and a plain count keeps them oriented: “You can add up to 4 files. 2 added so far.” At the limit the box says so, “That’s the most we take”, and the control waits rather than vanishing, so removing one file to swap in another is obvious.

Reveal an upload only when it applies

Like any field, an upload can wait, hidden, until an earlier choice calls for it, so the “Upload your logo” box appears only once the customer has chosen a printed or embroidered finish. See conditional options.

Where the file goes

The uploaded file is attached to the order and shown on the warehouse pick list with the customer’s other choices, so whoever prints the job has it to hand. The artwork can ride on the order email, every file on an order can be downloaded as one zip, and files can be renamed to a pattern you set and filed in a folder per order, so the print room finds “order-1204-front.pdf” rather than “IMG_0032 (3).png”. Uploaded files are covered by WooCommerce’s personal-data export and erase tools.

Printing on a specific area?

If the upload is a design that goes on a particular part of the product, front, back or a sleeve, pair it with positions & print areas, so the customer chooses where it goes and each area is priced its own way.
