A custom product configuration is a set of parameters that can be assigned to one or more WooCommerce products that regulate how they work. Assigning a custom product configuration to a normal WooCommerce product turns it into a customizable product. Here is how to create a custom product:
- Click on Kandi > Configurations, to access the list of existing configurations.
- Next, click on New Configuration to have access to the page on which you can create a new configuration.
- Then add a Configuration name.
- Choose your phone model and the available layouts
- The Text section gives you a lot of funny options that will allow you to choose how your customers should manage their texts in the designer.
Use global fonts: This option allows you to choose if your customer will be able to use all the fonts you have defined in the fonts section or a specific set of fonts you will choose beforehand.
Select fonts: This option allows you to choose the available fonts on this configuration.
Max length: This option allows you to choose the maximum length of the texts your customers can add on the design.
Colors palette type: This option allows you to choose if your customer will have a color picker or if you want to define a palette of color for them to choose the text color in the designer at the front end.
- The background settings section gives you a lot of funny options that will allow you to choose how your customers should manage their background in the designer.
Background categories: This option will allow you to select which Clipart categories to be used as background images.

How can a customer customize a product?
Once a product has been set as customizable, there are 2 ways for customers to customize it:
- From the shop page (simple products only): a Design Now button will appear under the Add to cart button. A click on it will lead the user to the editor page with the product data already loaded.
- From the product page: a Design Now button will appear under the Add to cart button. A click on it will lead the user to the editor page with the product data already loaded. If it is a variable product, make sure you select the options before clicking the Design Now button.
Can I add a configuration to an existing product?
Yes, but the existing WooCommerce product must either be a simple or variable product. The configuration field appears in existing WooCommerce products as well. You can follow the steps above to add the configuration for either product type. Note: This works for WooCommerce-enabled themes. It also works for themes that do not have any reference to WooCommerce. If the theme the customer is using is a WooCommerce-compatible theme or a custom theme, and all hooks are properly triggered, then all buttons will appear. If not, then troubleshoot and verify that all hooks are included in the theme.
