Changelog

Visiting the merchant admin of our app will feel a little bit different next time you visit. That is because we have updated the interface to the latest version of Polaris, Shopifys core admin experience.

This update allows us to unify our apps admin with the rest of Shopify and also incorporate all the latest new components that will improve the day-to-day workflows for merchants. We have also improved two workflows, the customiser list found on the home page and also the customiser creation workflow.

You can now easily find the customiser you wish to manage using our preset filter options to reduce the list of customisers. This new feature helps when you working with many different customisers in one store.

You can now quickly preview, edit and delete a customiser all from the home screen, to do see just click on the three dots … found on the right handside of each customiser in the list.

Create your sign customiser for free while you startup your new store; it can take some time to create a new customiser that is unique to your store, there are lots of options to add you might need to source some quotes from manufacturers to get the pricing just right.

Starting today, you can now completely manage all your customiser data without having to be subscribed to one of our plans. You can use our admin to quickly preview all the changes you make to your customiser and get right back to updating the data all in the same interface.

This new update will help give you the time and confidence you need to get everything setup up and ready for launch!

We will also be there every step of the way to help you on this exciting journey.

We have updated our plan offerings for Sign Customiser with the addition of a new plan called “Standard” that allows your store to create unlimited customisers and also include forms on your customisers.

This new plan is cheaper than our existing “pro” plan which includes the ability to use our advanced letter sizing and pricing model and also features that help with automating the logistics of building and shipping custom signs.

For a further explanation of features and plans check out our pricing page.

You can now create channel letter sign customisers on our starter plan. Previously, this feature was only available to merchants on our pro plan. Sign Customiser now offers more value for the same price.

You can now choose to show or hide the selector screen on mobile devices.

1. In Shopify admin, go to our app and click on the customiser you wish to edit
2. Click on Settings -> General
3. Scroll down until you see “Initial Selection Screen”
4. Change to your desired setting

Up until now, we didnt have great support for other currency conversion apps, we would previously recommend Shopify Markets to replace these apps, Shopify markets is still the best solution to use on your Shopify store, but Shopify has not granted all stores around the world with the ability to use this feature.

Starting today, we have launched a new update that provides first-class support for two of the most popular currency conversion apps on the Shopify app store, that being Vitals and Best Currency Converter

You can take full advantage of these currency conversion capabilities and have the live prices displayed on Sign Customiser converted and displayed to the customer’s currency of choice.

Starting today, the time it takes for our app to become usable for the customer has been reduced by an average of 150 percent. This huge performance gain can be attributed to clever data caching and leveraging the best of Cloudflares technologies to ensure global network traffic is routed in the most efficient way possible.

Our app data is highly dynamic, and we needed to create a solution that would be reliable but also able to respond to changes to the data instantly, after months of testing different solutions, we are pretty proud of the work that went into this and really happy with the performance improvement.

The end result is customers are now able to use our app in a noticeably faster time which should translate to better sale conversions for your store.

You can now visually display a flowing RGB effect that matches more closely to advanced LED tubing that allows 100s of different modes in real life.

Checkout our demo to see how it performs.

Sign Customiser now supports two unique RGB effects to help showcase your LED RGB products to the customer which should help with explaining the product and its capabilities.

To use this new effect on your customiser

1. Go to our merchant app in Shopify admin
2. Click on the customiser you wish to edit
3. Click on “Required Options” and then “Colors”
4. Click on “Add a new color”
5. On the “Color Effect” input, select “Flow”

You can now choose to display the entire table of fonts on the initial load or hide until clicked via dropdown.

We have also improved the app performance by only loading the first font selected and any other font that are visible in the viewport, since font file sizes can be anywhere from 20kb to 500kb this can make it much faster for our app to become usable, especially for users on slower internet connection speeds.

More info can be found here.

You can now add one or more forms to a sign customiser and start accepting custom sign design submissions from your potential customers.
