An option set is everything a customer answers about a print job — sizes, materials, finishes, quantities, artwork — together with the pricing rules that turn those answers into a price. Sets are independent of products. One set can serve a single product or fifty, and editing it updates every product that uses it.

​
Starting from a template

Templates are complete, working option sets for common print products: Every template is a starting point: rename anything, delete what you don’t sell, and set your own prices.
Choosing a print template

​
The builder

The builder has three panes:
  • Outline (left) — the structure of your set: sections, and the fields inside them. Drag to reorder, and use the + buttons to add.
  • Editor (middle) — the settings for whatever you selected: a field’s label, type, choices and price changes, or the product’s own settings.
  • Preview (right) — the real configurator, updating as you edit. What you see here is what your customer sees.
The Print Options builder
Your work saves as you type. The Product settings — reached by clicking the product name at the top of the outline — hold the title, layout (all sections at once, or a step-by-step wizard) and currency.

​
Sharing a set across products

Shopify and WordPress reach the same behaviour by different routes:
Once several products share a set, editing it once republishes to all of them. The builder tells you how many: the publish button reads Update 4 products rather than just Publish.

​
Removing options from a product

Choose Remove on the Shopify Products page, or select None in the WordPress product tab. The product immediately reverts to your store’s normal add-to-cart, and nothing about the option set itself changes — other products using it are unaffected.

​
Importing and exporting JSON

Every option set is a JSON document underneath. Click More (the ⋯ button at the top right of the builder) for Export JSON…, to copy or download the whole set, and Import JSON…, to replace the set you’re editing with pasted JSON. Import checks the JSON first and can be undone, and nothing reaches your store until you publish or save. That is the fastest way to set up a large option set with an AI assistant, to copy a set to another store, or to keep a backup. See Option set JSON for the format. On Shopify with Print.App, an assistant can also publish option sets for you directly: see Set up Print Options with AI.
