Monograms

If you put the word Monogram (be sure to use a capital M) on a line by itself, it will create a special option box for a three-letter monogram.

You can set up the ordering system to charge extra for monograms by changing the value of the variable called Personalization-charge. By default, this charge is set at zero (no charge). If you enter a number as the Personalization- charge, this additional charge will appear in parentheses next to the Monogram field on the item page. The charge is not applied if no monogram information is provided by the shopper.

Inscriptions

To create an Inscription that lets shoppers enter more than three letters, create an option that has Inscription (be sure to use a capital I) as the second word. For example, if you have a line reading "Engraved on back" Inscription 12 in the Options field of an item, shoppers will be able to enter up to 12 characters in a field labeled Engraved on back.

The Personalization-charge for inscriptions works the same way as the monogram charge. By default, this charge is set at zero (no charge). If you enter a number as the Personalization- charge, this additional charge will appear in parentheses next to the Inscription field on the item page. The charge is not applied if no inscription information is provided.
