Single Line Text Option

Modified on Sun, 3 May at 10:38 AM

The Single Line Text option in the Sellio Product Options App allows merchants to collect short, single-line inputs from customers directly on the product page. This option is ideal for personalization fields such as names, initials, or short custom messages.

It is one of the most commonly used input types for Shopify product customization.


How to Create a Single Line Text Option

Navigate to:

App Dashboard → Create Option → Select “Single Line Text”

Once selected, you will see multiple configuration fields to customize the behavior and appearance of this option.




Field Settings Explained

Display Name

This is the label shown to customers on the product page.

Example:

  • Enter Name

  • Add Your Initials

  • Custom Text


Unique Name

A system identifier used internally to distinguish this option.

  • Must be unique

  • Not visible to customers

  • Useful for integrations and backend tracking


Tooltip

Displays a hover message to provide additional guidance.

Example:

Enter the name exactly as you want it printed.


Help Text

Appears below the input field to guide customers.

Example:

Maximum 20 characters allowed.


Option Type

This is automatically set as Single Line Text and cannot be changed after creation.


Advanced Settings

Click on “Show advance settings” to access additional customization.




Custom Class & ID

You can assign:

  • Class

  • ID

This is useful for:

  • Custom CSS styling

  • JavaScript targeting

  • Theme-level customization


Schedule Options

You can control when this option is visible using:

  • Start Time

  • End Time

(All times are based on UTC unless store timezone is enabled.)


One-Time Charge Option

“Add one option per line item”

When enabled:

  • The charge is applied only once per product

  • Even if the product quantity is more than 1

Example

  • Product quantity: 3

  • Personalization charge: ₹50

  • Total charge applied: ₹50 (not ₹150)


Placeholder

This text appears inside the input box as a hint.

Example:

  • Enter your name

  • Type text here


Character Limit

You can define a maximum number of characters allowed.

Example:

  • Max 20 characters for engraving

This helps prevent input errors and ensures proper formatting.


Pricing Configuration (Option Values)

The Single Line Text option supports multiple pricing types:

1. Fixed Price Add-on

Adds a fixed amount to the product.

Example: +₹50


2. Multiplication-Based Charge

Price is calculated dynamically.

Example:

  • Price × 0.5

  • If product price = ₹1000 → Charge = ₹500


3. Charge Per Character

Cost increases based on number of characters entered.

Example:

  • ₹2 per character

  • 10 characters → ₹20


4. Percentage-Based Charge

Charge is calculated as a percentage of product price.


5. Shopify Variant-Based Pricing

Option pricing can be linked to existing Shopify variant pricing.


Example Setup

  • Display Name: Enter Name

  • Character Limit: 20

  • Placeholder: Enter your name

  • Price: ₹50 fixed

  • One-Time Charge: Enabled

Customer Experience

Customers enter their name once, and the personalization charge is applied only once regardless of quantity.
