Centennial Arts’ Magento Customization Features vs. Shopify Customization Features

Magento vs. Shopify: Product Customization

Our Product Customization Services

Through third party apps, Shopify has the ability to add an unlimited number of customization options to products. Customers can create products using features such as file uploads, dropdown options and text bones.

Conversely, Centennial Arts utilizes an extension provided by Magento to the Magento eCommerce store integrating. This allows your customers to personalize the product the way they desire. The Magento extension can be customized and implemented to extend the personalization functionality to make the customers take more interest. Customers have the option to:

• swap the item
• add text
• insert images and graphics
• add special instructions
• undo/redo changes
• real-time pricing showcase

Magento offers you the flexibility to choose from multiple custom product options which gives your customers exactly what they want.

Shopify offers you product variants and options. However, it does not offer the functionality of letting your customers totally build their product. There are third party apps available that allow you to add ‘conditions’, 2D or 3D images and inventory tracking.

Centennial Arts utilizes this eCommerce platform so that your customers can choose ever aspect of your product.

Shopify offers theme customization features which allow you to to change background colors, font colors and button colors, as well as typefaces for headers, menus and body text. There are also numerous banner customization features.
