You can get a print file from your storefront without placing an order. It's a quick way to check how a design prints while you set up a product: personalize it on the product page, run one command in your browser, and Customix gives you a link to the print file for that design.

Step 1: Copy your API key

  • In your Shopify admin, open Apps > Customix Personalizer > Settings.
  • Open the Integrations tab.
  • Under API Key, copy your Key.

Step 2: Personalize the product on your storefront

  • Open the product page on your storefront. The option set must be published and Live on this product.
  • Fill in the options the way a customer would, for example type a name.

Step 3: Run the command in your browser

  • Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect, or press F12 (Cmd + Option + I on Mac).
  • Open the Console tab.
  • Paste the command below, replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied, and press Enter.
customixHelper.requestPrintFile('YOUR_API_KEY');

What happens next

Customix creates the print file for the current design and shows a link to the file in the Console. It can take a few seconds. Click the link to open the file.

  • Invalid API Key: The key is wrong or was reset. Copy it again from Settings > Integrations.
  • The print file is blank: Your options aren't on a print area yet, so there's nothing to print. See Set Up Print Areas and Print Files.
  • customixHelper is not defined: Customix hasn't loaded on this page. Check that the app embed is on and the option set is Live on this product.
