    Google Ads click ID tracking for sign orders

    Sign Customiser now automatically captures Google Ads click IDs (gclid, gbraid, and wbraid) from your customers’ sessions, giving you full visibility into which ad campaigns are driving sign orders and quote requests.

    What’s Changed

    • Automatic click ID capture - Google Ads click IDs are detected from URL parameters, cookies, and session storage so no customer interaction is missed
    • Click IDs included in form submissions - Quote requests and custom design submissions now pass ad tracking data through to your order emails and webhooks
    • Ad tracking in order emails - Merchant notification emails now display Google Ads click IDs when available, making it easy to match orders to campaigns
    • Event tracking enrichment - The spc:product-created and spc:form-submitted JavaScript events now include ad click IDs, so your existing conversion tracking scripts can access them
    • Cross-iframe support - Click IDs are correctly passed through to the customiser even when embedded via iframe on Shopify, WooCommerce, or hosted pages

    Option to disable size limit popup

    Sign Customiser now gives merchants the ability to disable the size limit popup that appears when customers exceed maximum sign dimensions. This new setting provides greater control over the customer experience, allowing merchants who prefer a less restrictive design flow to remove the interruption while still enforcing size limits in the background.

    What’s Changed

    • New admin setting - A “Disable size limit popup” checkbox has been added to the customiser settings panel, giving merchants a simple toggle to control popup visibility
    • Smoother design experience - When enabled, customers can continue designing without being interrupted by the “Size is over the limit. Contact us for a quote” modal
    • Backward compatible - The setting defaults to off, so all existing customisers continue to behave exactly as before

    RGB flow glow effect with spatial gradient animation

    Sign Customiser’s Flow RGB effect now produces a beautiful, realistic neon glow that flows across your entire sign. Each word is lit with a smooth colour gradient that shifts naturally based on its position, creating the appearance of real RGB LED tubing cycling through colours in sequence.

    RGB flow glow effect in action

    What’s Changed

    • Multi-layer neon glow - Four glow layers create a rich, realistic neon tube appearance with soft light falloff that closely mimics real RGB LED signage
    • Spatial gradient animation - Colours flow smoothly across words based on their position on the canvas, so multi-word signs display a natural colour wave rather than each word changing independently
    • Optimised for all devices - Frame throttling and reduced glow layers ensure smooth performance on mobile devices and Safari, without sacrificing visual quality
    • White face with coloured glow - The text itself remains crisp white while the surrounding glow cycles through your chosen RGB colours, just like real neon tubing

    No action is needed on your end — this effect applies automatically to any customiser that already uses the Flow RGB colour effect.

    Major upgrade to AI Sign Designer image capabilities

    The AI Sign Designer has received its biggest image processing upgrade yet. Our underlying models have been significantly improved, delivering noticeably better results across virtually every type of image your customers upload.

    What’s Changed

    • Better photographic image handling - Photos and real-world images are now interpreted with far greater detail, producing cleaner and more accurate sign-ready conversions
    • Improved logo and graphic interpretation - Complex multi-element logos, icons, and brand graphics are converted more faithfully, preserving fine details and maintaining the integrity of the original design
    • More accurate shape detection - Intricate patterns, overlapping elements, and visually dense designs are now handled with significantly improved precision
    • Broader image type support - From minimalist line art to richly detailed illustrations, the AI Sign Designer now handles a wider range of visual styles with consistently better output
    • Higher quality results overall - Every conversion benefits from the upgraded models, meaning your customers see better previews and you receive more production-ready files

    Customiser Presets — Save and Load Sign Configurations

    Sign Customiser now lets you save any sign configuration as a reusable preset.

    • Save designs as presets — Preview any sign configuration in the admin panel and save it as a named preset with a single click, capturing the full design including text, colours, fonts, sizes, and selected options
    • Manage presets from the admin — A new Presets page in the customiser sidebar lets you view, rename, reorder, and delete your saved presets at any time
    • Load presets on the storefront — Share a direct link to any preset using its unique code, and customers will see the customiser pre-filled with your chosen configuration, ready to personalise further
    • Theme app extension support — Presets integrate with the Shopify theme app block, so you can embed preset-specific customiser links directly into your store pages and collections
    • Drag and drop reordering — Organise your presets in the exact order you want them displayed using the familiar drag-and-drop interface

    Custom Design Form Email Template Editor

    What’s Changed

    Pricing Transparency and Custom Sizing Improvements

    Sign Customiser now shows a detailed breakdown of material length and cost for each individual word when using the Advanced Letter (Material Length) pricing model. This gives merchants greater transparency into exactly how pricing is calculated. We’ve also added a visual indicator to help customers understand when they’ve modified their custom size.

    What’s Changed

    • Per-word material breakdown - The price display now shows each word with its material length and individual cost, making it easy to see exactly where the price comes from
    • Accurate scaled pricing - Words that have been resized using drag-to-scale now correctly reflect their scaled dimensions in material length calculations
    • Improved price transparency - Merchants can now see the total material length alongside individual word lengths, providing a clearer understanding of overall pricing calculations
    • Custom size lock indicator - An animated lock icon now appears next to custom sizing options, showing when a size has been manually modified. Clicking the lock resets the size back to defaults

    Custom branded emails for your sign business

    Sign Customiser now lets you brand the order and design submission emails you receive. Upload your logo, set your primary colour, and add your website link so that when you forward these emails to manufacturers, suppliers, or team members, they arrive with your company’s branding rather than Sign Customiser’s.

    What’s Changed

    • Custom logo in emails - Upload your store’s logo and it will appear in the email header, ready for forwarding
    • Brand colour theming - Set a primary colour that automatically applies to email buttons, links, and accents
    • Website link in header - Emails link back to your own website instead of the default Sign Customiser URL
    • One-click toggle - Enable or disable branded emails at any time from the new Brand section in Store Settings
    • Professional sign-off - Emails close with your business name, with a subtle “Powered by Sign Customiser” in the footer

    Improved Email Threading for Form Submissions

    Sign Customiser now makes it easier to manage customer enquiries by including the customer’s email address in the sender name for custom design form submissions. This simple improvement helps you quickly identify who sent each request directly from your inbox without opening the email.

    What’s Changed

    • Customer email in sender name - Form submission emails now show the customer’s email address in the From field (e.g., “customer@email.com via Sign Customiser”), making it easier to identify messages at a glance
    • Better email organisation - Email clients can now group related conversations more effectively, helping you keep track of ongoing customer discussions
    • Improved CRM compatibility - CRM systems that parse incoming emails can now more easily identify and associate leads with the correct contact record, streamlining your sales workflow
