There're 2 ways to create a personalizable product (a campaign) with Teeinblue: Campaign by Product Base & Campaign by Shopify products.
These 2 types of campaign work separately and don't affect each other.
Let's find out what type you should use.
Both types of campaign can:
Show personalization form from artworks and mockups with live preview on storefront.
Generate order designs based on customers' selections.
Both campaign types still sync the URL of order designs to Shopify Orders. So you can use 3rd-party apps to read the custom design & fulfill orders.
