Recently we launched the File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce plugin. The basic purpose of this plugin is to allow users to upload files on the WooCommerce Product pages. These files will be used by the store owners preparing their orders.
The advantage of having custom fields over upload is that sometimes the customers are not sure about which information shall be mandatory to complete the order. There are options for contacting the store itself for details but then too, shop owners may loose valuable business if no one is available to provide the necessary information. On the other hand this can be helpful even for shop owners, as they wont have to contact the customers for information to complete the order.
In addition if you are running a Print-on-demand store then this basic field will get you started with accepting orders with the basic information that is needed. The primary one is the design that needs to be printed on whatever items (coffee mugs, t-shirts etc.) that you are selling.
As shown above, here is an example of a store that sells spectacles. Sometimes customers are not aware about what information shall be provided to complete the order. Here a customer can upload the readings provided by an optician. Shop owners can have the added advantage here of validating if needed in case of some prescriptions.
Shop owners shall have the link of the file uploaded in the Orders itself eliminating any additional place to look for the uploaded files.
Our plugin Woocommerce Addon Upload is created to handle these requests and with some options. So checkout the plugin. Pretty new features lined up. Checkout now to avail the future releases for free and that too for lifetime.
