Is PIMW Product Personalizer free to install?

The Free plan includes 1 personalizer template on up to 2 personalized products; paid plans (Basic $7.99, Pro $13.99, Unlimited $24.99 per month, each with a 3-day free trial) raise the template, step, and product assignment limits. Every plan includes unlimited custom orders with no per-order fees. There is no upfront fee and no credit card required to install.
How long does PIMW Product Personalizer take to set up?
Most stores set up their first personalized product in under 15 minutes. The Shopify App Store install takes about 60 seconds; adding text fields, photo upload, color swatches, and live preview to a product takes 5-10 minutes. Catalog-wide rollout (50+ products) uses bulk-apply templates and typically takes 30-60 minutes total.
Does PIMW Product Personalizer work with Shopify Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Shopify Plus?
Yes. PIMW Product Personalizer works on every Shopify plan including Basic, Shopify, Advanced, Plus, and Shopify Starter. The core personalization fields, live preview, and order capture work on every tier.
Does PIMW Product Personalizer slow down my Shopify store?
No. PIMW Product Personalizer uses Shopify's storefront block architecture, which loads only on personalized product pages and doesn't add render-blocking scripts site-wide.
Does PIMW Product Personalizer work with Printful, Printify, Gelato, and other POD partners?
Yes. PIMW Product Personalizer writes the customer's personalization to standard Shopify line item properties, which Printful, Printify, Gelato, and other major print-on-demand apps read. The data flows through Shopify's standard order pipeline, so any partner that reads line-item properties (which all major POD apps do) receives it with the order.
Does PIMW Product Personalizer support Shopify Markets, multiple currencies, and multiple languages?
Yes. Field labels translate per language, upcharge prices can be set per currency, and the personalizer fully supports right-to-left languages including Arabic and Hebrew. The personalizer also handles Unicode for Cyrillic, CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean), Greek, and accented Latin characters with appropriate font fallback.
