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.
