Font Selector Option

The Font Selector Option in the Sellio Product Options app allows customers to choose different font styles for personalized products. This is especially useful for products that involve custom text, engraving, printing, or design customization.

It enhances the user experience by letting customers preview how their text will look in the selected font before placing an order.

A Font Selector Option displays a list of font styles that customers can choose from. It also includes a live preview feature, allowing users to see how their entered text appears in the selected font.

Example:

Choose Your Font

• Arial

• Roboto

• Playfair Display

? Customer enters text → selects a font → sees live preview
