I offer custom t-shirts on my website. However, I want customers to be able to see the design on the shirt options I offer. Customers get upset with the product if it has a black outline, but they get a dark colored shirt. Is there an app that will allow me to upload the shirt images and the PNG I am using to allow them to click the shirt color and see the design on the shirt?
Hey there,
Yes, there are several Shopify apps that can help with this! You want customers to preview how the design looks on different shirt colors — especially to avoid issues with black outlines on dark shirts. Here are a few great options:
-

3.Customily Product Personalizer
Easy to use and also allows real-time previews on different shirt colors. You can also let customers personalize the product further (e.g., name, text, etc.), if needed.

If you’re using a print-on-demand service like Printful or Printify, their built-in mockup tools also let you do this — but if you’re fulfilling shirts yourself, one of the above apps will definitely help.
