How do I sell customized products on Amazon? If you are wondering the same in a burst of creativity, then it’s time to learn more about Amazon Custom – and it was designed exactly for you 🙂
What is Amazon Custom?
Amazon Custom is the store on Amazon.com where shoppers go to customize your products.
Amazon Custom supports three types of product upgrades:
• text
• image
• product configuration.
Text customization
Text customization allows customers to add text to your products using the color and font options you specify through your Seller Central.
This option can be used for engraving, embroidery, printing and painting on T-shirts, cups, jewelry, etc.
Image customization
Image customization allows buyers to upload their own image to your product. The customer can also add text on the image.
Product configuration
A product configuration or “option list” allows you to create a series of drop-down options through your Seller Central that customers can use to create their own product. This feature also allows you to charge additional fees for individual settings.
