Allowing customers to upload images for their printed product

Hi

I am very new to ZenCart but am working my way through the manual. It is a great resource, and I'm really starting to understand how it all works.

My shop will sell printed t-shirts that we will print. The customer will choose the size of tshirt and supply (email/upload) their chosen image for us to manipulate into the proper format for printing (size/colours/style etc). Before printing, we would ideally like to send the customer the edited photo for approval before printing the t-shirt and shipping it to the customer.

Is this kind of functionality available in ZenCart or does a suitable module exist? I wish, as a beginner, I had come up with a straightforward e-commerce/online shop business model, but true to form, I have come up with something that doesn't quite fit into the basic functioning of ZenCart.

Having said that, ZenCart seems a very flexible piece of software with a large user base. I just hope something relatively easy exists that I could use.

Any tips?

Re: Allowing customers to upload images for their printed product

I think this thread might have the info:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71887

If the link doesn't work, the title is "Customer Image Uploads " and it should come up in search. I actually found it by Googling: Zen Cart Customer Upload Image.

Good Luck.

Re: Allowing customers to upload images for their printed product

The customer file upload is a standard feature of Zen Cart. If you want to send them a corrected proof before printing, that will be a separate process outside Zen Cart.

Look in the tutorials (link at top of this page) for Attributes to get complete instructions.
