A short FAQ covering common Blueprint template examples, including gift wrap, custom sofa builders, and embroidery, plus optional settings and pricing.

<h2 data-pm-slice="1 3 []" id="isPasted">Common template examples in Blueprint</h2>Blueprint can be used to create any kind of personalisation template. The examples below are just common use cases to help you get started. In the app, go to Templates to open an existing template or click Create Template to build a new one.<hr>INFOThese examples are starting points, not limits. You can use Blueprint for simple add-ons, guided builders, text personalisation, file uploads, and more complex step-by-step product journeys.<hr><h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>Q. What are these template examples showing?A. These screenshots show three very common Blueprint use cases:<ul><li>Gift Wrap as a simple add-on</li><li>Custom Sofa Builder as a guided, step-by-step configuration flow</li><li>Embroidery as a text-based personalisation flow with extra pricing rules</li></ul>They all use real Blueprint controls such as Storefront Display, Make personalisation optional for the buyer, Product Options, Option type, Additional price, Additional base price, and Show Price Summary.Q. When should I make personalisation optional for the buyer?A. Use Make personalisation optional for the buyer when the customer should still be able to buy the product without filling in the template.In your examples, this makes sense for:<ul><li>Gift Wrap because not every customer wants the add-on</li><li>Embroidery if the product can still be bought plain, without custom text</li></ul>For the Custom Sofa Builder, leaving this off is the right setup if the buyer must complete the configuration before adding the product to cart.<hr>TIPIf the template is optional overall, you can still make individual fields required inside it when those fields must be completed once the customer chooses to personalise.<hr><h2 id="gift-wrap-template-example">Gift Wrap template example</h2>The Gift Wrap example is a good starter template for a simple paid add-on.In the screenshots, this setup uses:<ul><li>Template Details with a clear public-facing label such as Gift Wrap Addition</li><li>Storefront Display set to On page, so the option appears directly on the product page</li><li>Make personalisation optional for the buyer, so customers can skip it</li><li>Checkbox (yes/no) as the Option type, which is ideal for a single on/off choice</li><li>Additional base price in Additional Price (optional) for a fixed fee</li><li>Additional price label to name the charge clearly in the basket</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-45d2ca54-81cc-4c85-9fcc-522ee101b97b-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.58.12.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-57a6c3ca-9c2e-4847-851f-cde480c84b1a-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.58.21.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">This is a common use case for extras like gift wrap, rush production, premium packaging, or proof approval.<hr>Q. How does the Gift Wrap template work as a common use case?A. The Gift Wrap example is a good starter template for a simple paid add-on. It works well when customers only need a single yes-or-no choice and, if selected, a fixed extra charge is applied.<h2 id="custom-sofa-builder-template-example">Custom Sofa Builder template example</h2>The Custom Sofa Builder is a strong example of a more detailed configuration template where the customer should complete choices in order.In the screenshots, this template uses:<ul><li>Show options one step at a time in Product Options</li><li>Separate steps such as Step 1: Choose Fabric, Step 2: Choose Feet Material, and Step 3: Choose Arm Style</li><li>Dropdown list as the Option type for each choice</li><li>Make personalisation required for the buyer on the product options</li><li>Additional price added at option level to charge more for certain stages of the build</li></ul> <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-dab6a758-b37a-4b1d-bf53-536be54bd225-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_13.13.24.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-8059a9ab-75e7-4071-a5fe-765cf7de9cfc-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.56.36.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-a429ece3-50f2-4239-a7fa-68c154a1ed27-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.59.02.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-35012a08-f9a2-404f-b24c-be76583f51e1-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.59.29.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-5ed3ee37-0eec-40b4-a509-a907769adabf-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.59.37.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">This approach is ideal when buyers need to work through several decisions in a logical order. It keeps the page cleaner than showing everything at once and is a common use case for furniture builders, bundle builders, made-to-order products, and technical product selectors.<hr>Q. Why use one step at a time for the sofa builder?A. Show options one step at a time helps when a product has several decisions that should be completed in sequence. For a sofa builder, this means customers can focus on one area at a time, such as fabric first, then feet material, then arm style. This usually feels easier than displaying every dropdown together. It also makes it clearer which choices are required before checkout.<h2 id="embroidery-template-example">Embroidery template example</h2>The Embroidery example shows how Blueprint can collect short text and supporting selections around that text.In your screenshots, this template uses:<ul><li>Show options one step at a time for a guided flow</li><li>A Text box option called Embroidery text</li><li>Minimum Characters and Maximum Characters to control the allowed text length</li><li>Allow pricing per-character with a Cost per character</li><li>Dropdown lists for Embroidery Text Colour and Embroidery Position</li><li>The template-level setting Make personalisation optional for the buyer, if embroidery is an extra rather than a required part of the product</li></ul><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-9eebe59b-31aa-426d-8dd3-bdc04861d1a8-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_13.00.17.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-4206110b-50f9-4f2e-9949-8d3e238ec9b7-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.57.41.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-5d1d4f5b-1c81-4e4c-b3b0-b45154ea7132-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_13.00.32.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091608-0a06a738-3049-49fa-9e99-08d1929a7e67-screenshot_2026-06-18_at_12.57.49.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">This is a common use case for embroidery, engraving, monogramming, printed names, and any short-text personalisation.<hr>Q. How does cost per character work for embroidery?A. If you enable Allow pricing per-character on a Text box option, Blueprint can add a charge based on how many characters the buyer enters. In your example, the Cost per character is used for embroidery text. This is useful when longer text takes more time, thread, space, or production effort. The screenshot also shows that the cost is added per character (excluding spaces), which helps keep the pricing more consistent.<hr>TIPPer-character pricing works best when you also set sensible Minimum Characters and Maximum Characters, so customers know the allowed text length before they enter it.<hr>Q. What is the difference between template-level pricing and option-level pricing?A. Blueprint lets you price templates in more than one way:<ul><li>Template-level pricing is set in Additional Price (optional) using Additional base price. This adds a fixed charge to the template as a whole.</li><li>Option-level pricing is set on an individual product option using Additional price. This is useful when a particular choice adds cost.</li><li>Per-character pricing is available on supported text options and charges based on text length.</li></ul>Using your examples:<ul><li>Gift Wrap is a strong fit for a fixed template-level fee</li><li>Custom Sofa Builder is a strong fit for option-level pricing on steps like fabric, feet material, or arm style</li><li>Embroidery is a strong fit for per-character pricing on the text itself</li></ul><hr>Q. Can I add extra cost at each step in a template?A. Yes. In step-based templates, you can add priced options inside each step. For example, in the sofa builder screenshots, each dropdown option screen includes an Additional price field. That lets you charge for the selection being made in that part of the journey. This is useful when different materials, finishes, or build choices increase the final price.<hr>WARNINGIf you use template-level pricing and option-level pricing together, test the finished product page carefully so the total price stays clear and expected.<hr>Q. Which option types are being used in these examples?A. The screenshots show common Blueprint option types in real use:<ul><li>Checkbox (yes/no) for Gift Wrap</li><li>Dropdown list for sofa choices such as fabric, feet material, and arm style</li><li>Text box for embroidery text</li><li>Dropdown list again for embroidery colour and position</li></ul>Blueprint also supports other option types such as Checkboxes (multi-select), Radio Buttons, Text box (multi-line), Number input field, and File Upload, so these examples are only a small sample of what you can build.<hr>Q. What should I choose for Storefront Display?A. In Template Details, you can choose On page or In modal.<ul><li>On page shows the personalisation directly on the product page</li><li>In modal opens the personalisation in a pop-up</li></ul>Your screenshots use On page, which is often the best starting point for templates like gift wrap, embroidery, and guided builders because the customer can see the whole personalisation flow in context.<hr>Q. What is the best way to name and structure templates like these?A. Use clear labels that match what the customer is doing.<ul><li>Use a simple Template Name internally</li><li>Use Public Title for customer-facing wording such as Gift Wrap Addition, Customise your Sofa, or Customise your Shirt</li><li>Use step names that describe the decision, such as Choose Fabric or Choose text</li><li>Only make an option Required when the order cannot proceed without it</li></ul><h2 id="quick-setup-summary">Quick setup summary</h2><ul><li>Gift Wrap: optional template, on-page display, checkbox option, fixed extra fee</li><li>Custom Sofa Builder: required configuration, step-by-step layout, dropdown options, extra cost on relevant build choices</li><li>Embroidery: optional or required depending on the product, text box with character limits, cost per character, plus colour and position steps</li></ul>

<h2 data-pm-slice="1 2 []" id="isPasted">Show Blueprint customisation on packing slips</h2>If you use Blueprint personalisation templates, the choices a customer makes are saved with the order and can be shown on Shopify&#x2019;s native packing slips.This FAQ explains how to update your packing slip template in Shopify so Blueprint product options appear under each ordered item as a bulleted list.<hr>INFOThis only works with Shopify&#x2019;s native packing slip functionality in Settings &gt; Shipping and delivery &gt; Documents &gt; Templates.&#xA0;<hr><hr>NOTEIn Blueprint, customer selections come from your personalisation template and its product options. On the order, Shopify stores those selections as line item properties.<hr><h2 id="quick-answer">Quick answer</h2>To show Blueprint selections on packing slips, edit the Shopify packing slip template and add the code snippet below the line of code that outputs the <code>line_item.title</code> or the <code>line_item.variant_title</code>.<h2 id="where-do-i-make-this-change">Where do I make this change?</h2>1. Open Shopify Documents -&#xA0;In your Shopify admin, go to Settings &gt; Shipping and delivery &gt; Documents.<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/1QNmd2YL9kd69XA0/hc/g5KDM28B9ajx9aBy/2026091609-1b938c4b-13f2-46f1-90f8-08b9489cd858-a7fb4ea1-394a-4b06-ac25-f240d36236ea.png" alt="Shopify Documents screen showing the Templates option under Shipping and delivery" class="fr-fic fr-dii">2. Open Templates -&#xA0;Click Templates.3. Choose the template to edit -&#xA0;Select the document template you want to update. In most cases, this will be your Packing slip template.4. Find the product title output -&#xA0;In the template code, find the line that outputs either <code>{{ line_item.title }}</code> or <code>{{ line_item.variant_title }}</code>. You will usually want to place the Blueprint output directly underneath that line so the customisation appears below each product name on the printed packing slip.5. Paste the Blueprint properties code -&#xA0;Add the following code below the product title or variant title:<pre><code>{% if line_item.properties != empty %}
 &lt;ul style=&quot;margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 15px; font-size: 0.9em;&quot;&gt;
 {% for property in line_item.properties %}
 {% assign first_character = property.first | slice: 0 %}
 {% if property.last != blank and first_character != &apos;_&apos; %}
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;{{ property.first }}:&lt;/strong&gt; {{ property.last }}&lt;/li&gt;
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
 &lt;/ul&gt;
{% endif %}</code>

</pre>6. Save and test -&#xA0;Save the template, then test with an order that includes a product using a Blueprint personalisation template. On the packing slip, Shopify should now print the selected Blueprint options as a list under the item.<h2 id="what-will-this-show">What will this show?</h2>This code loops through the order&#x2019;s line item properties and prints each visible Blueprint selection, for example:<ul><li>Fabric: Leather</li><li>Feet Material: Oak</li><li>Arm Style: Flat</li><li>Embroidery text: Olivia</li></ul>This makes it easier for fulfilment staff to see the customer&#x2019;s Blueprint customisation when picking, packing, or checking orders.<h2 id="why-does-the-code-ignore-some-properties">Why does the code ignore some properties?</h2>Q. Why does it skip blank values?A. The code only prints properties that contain a value, so empty fields do not clutter the packing slip.<hr>Q. Why does it skip names starting with an underscore?A. Some line item properties are used internally and should not be shown to customers or warehouse staff. The code checks the first character of the property name and ignores values that start with <code>_</code>.<h2 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently asked questions</h2>Q. Does this work for all Blueprint templates?A. It works for Blueprint templates where the customer&#x2019;s selections are saved to the Shopify order as line item properties. This includes common Blueprint setups such as dropdown choices, checkboxes, text fields, and other product options used in a personalisation template.<hr>Q. Do I need to change anything in Blueprint first?Usually no. If your Blueprint template is already collecting customer input and that input appears on the order, you only need to update the Shopify packing slip template. In Blueprint, these selections come from your Templates area and the Product Options inside each template.<hr>Q. Where in the Shopify template should I paste the code?A. Paste it directly below the part of the template that prints <code>{{ line_item.title }}</code> or <code>{{ line_item.variant_title }}</code>. That keeps each Blueprint customisation grouped under the correct product on the packing slip.<hr>Q. Can I use this for invoices or pick lists too?A. Yes. If Shopify gives you editable templates for other documents, you can use the same approach anywhere you want line item properties to be printed.<hr>Q. Why are Blueprint options not showing on my packing slip?A. Check these points:<ul><li>The ordered product must use a Blueprint personalisation template.</li><li>The customer must have completed one or more Blueprint product options.</li><li>The Shopify template must contain the properties code in the correct place.</li><li>You must be testing with an order that actually contains Blueprint selections.</li></ul><hr>Q. Will this affect how the packing slip looks?A. Yes, slightly. The code prints the Blueprint selections as a small bulleted list under the item name. The inline styling keeps the spacing compact for printed documents.<h2 id="best-practices">Best practices</h2><ul><li>Use clear Blueprint option names so the packing slip is easy for staff to read.</li><li>Test with a real sample order before using the updated packing slip in daily fulfilment.</li><li>Keep the code directly under the product title so each customisation stays attached to the correct line item.</li><li>If you use longer text fields in Blueprint, review how they appear on printed slips so they do not make the document too crowded.</li></ul><hr>TIPIf you want cleaner packing slips, make sure your Blueprint product option labels are written in plain language, such as Embroidery text, Thread colour, or Gift Wrap, rather than internal team shorthand.
