Custom Text Add-On for WP Configurator Pro
Let Your Customers Personalize Products with Customized Text
Allow shoppers to add names, labels, initials, branding, club text, short messages, and other personalized text directly inside your product configurator, with control over fonts, colors, alignment, style, and pricing — fully native to WP Configurator Pro, WordPress, and WooCommerce.
No external SaaS
WooCommerce-native
Runs inside WP Configurator Pro
TL;DR: What It Does
Let shoppers input names, labels, initials, or short messages without leaving the configurator.
Offer selected fonts, color presets, and typography controls that match your product and brand style.
Set limits so text stays inside the intended design area and does not bulge out in the layout.
Use alignment, allowed views, order value, and perimeter control to keep text positioned correctly on the product.
Use path-based text, transform settings, and text shadow when the design calls for more than a flat text field.
Add a fixed price for text customization or charge per character for more flexible pricing.
The result: Turn text personalization into a smoother self-serve buying experience. Instead of collecting wording separately and fixing layout later, you can let shoppers type, preview, style, and price their text directly on the product page.
Turn Text Personalization Into a Better Buying Experience
Give customers a simple way to add and preview their own text while keeping the final design consistent with your product and brand. The easier you make personalization, the easier it becomes to sell more made-to-order products without extra back-and-forth.
Real-World Scenarios
Custom Text works best where wording is part of the product value. It gives shoppers a direct way to personalize the product while giving you control over how that text looks, fits, and is priced.
Apparel & Teamwear
Perfect for names, club text, short slogans, or placement-based text personalization across different product areas.
Jewelry, Rings and Small Accessories

Best Practices for Custom Text Setup
Start with the text areas that matter most
Only add text fields where personalization clearly adds value to the product.
Use character limits to protect the design
Small printable areas should have tighter limits so the text does not overlap or break the layout.
Offer only the fonts and colors you can support well
A smaller, cleaner preset list usually creates a better buying experience than too many styling choices.
Set allowed views carefully
If the view is not configured correctly, the text may not display where expected. Allowed views matter for text visibility.
Use fixed pricing for simple personalization, per-character pricing for flexible upsells
Short monograms and simple names often work with a fixed fee. Longer or variable text is a better fit for charge-per-character pricing.
Test custom fonts on Panorama and mobile
Get Panorama-specific fix for custom fonts not loading on mobile, using a child-theme hook to allow the font CSS.
