DesignNBuy, a global provider of web to print software, has rolled out a significant update to its , introducing advanced features and performance improvements designed specifically for Shopify-based print businesses. 

This latest release further strengthens DesignO’s role as a flexible, merchant-focused product design tool for Shopify stores. The update brings enhanced collaboration capabilities, expanded white-label branding controls, precise pricing configuration options, and important bug fixes that improve overall stability, usability, and product accuracy. 

“Shopify merchants operate in an environment where speed, collaboration, and reliability are essential,” said Nidhi Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO of DesignNBuy. “This update is focused on reducing friction for both merchants and their customers, while giving businesses greater control over branding, pricing, and data access.” 

The DesignO Shopify App now includes Shareable Design Links, allowing customers and internal teams to collaborate on designs without downloading files or exporting assets. 

Merchants can generate secure links directly from the design editor and share them instantly for feedback or edits. Two permission levels are available to support different collaboration needs:

• Can View: Recipients can view the design without making changes.
• Can Edit: Recipients can edit the design in real time, enabling faster iterations. 

This feature is particularly valuable for B2B customers who require approvals from multiple stakeholders before finalizing orders. 

DesignO version 2.5 introduces comprehensive white-label configuration tools that allow businesses to fully brand the DesignO admin interface to match their identity. With these capabilities, eCommerce agencies can position the solution as a seamless extension of their existing offerings. 

Merchants can now: 

• Apply custom theme colors across the interface 

• Customize text and sidebar colors 

• Upload company logos and favicons 

• Preview branding changes instantly or revert to default settings 

These enhancements help agencies and multi-brand Shopify sellers deliver a consistent branded experience without additional development work. 

The new Copy Editor Code feature enables merchants to generate ready-to-use HTML and JavaScript snippets for individual products directly from the admin panel. 

With this update, the DesignO editor can be embedded: 

• On custom Shopify pages 

• Within blog posts or landing pages 

• Anywhere across the storefront 

This flexibility reduces friction by allowing customers to access the design tool without navigating multiple product pages, leading to quicker engagement. 

The latest version of the DesignO Shopify App improves Product Detail Page (PDP) performance by significantly reducing unnecessary API calls. 

Instead of triggering DesignO on every product load, the system now checks a Shopify-defined attribute to determine whether customization is enabled. DesignO is activated only for customizable products, while standard products bypass the API entirely. 

This intelligent validation reduces server load, improves page speed, and delivers a smoother shopping experience—helping merchants reduce drop-offs and improve conversion rates. 

This update adds 17 new photorealistic 3D models to the DesignO visualization library, giving customers a more accurate preview of customized products before purchase. 

• New packaging models include: 

Elegant End Tuck Box, Half Slotted Container, Premium Liquor Packaging Box, Roll End Front Tuck Box, Prestige Handle Box, Display Case Hanging Box, Takeaway Gable Carton, and Standard Pizza Box. 

• New pouch and large-format models include: 

Chocolate Bar, Flat Base Pouch, Spout Pouch, 3D Canopy, Feather Flag, Angle Booth (three sides), Two-Side Booth Wall (rectangle and square), and Three-Side Booth Wall. 

These additions support Shopify-based print businesses across food and beverage, retail, promotional products, and event marketing, enabling more confident purchasing decisions, higher conversions, and reduced returns. 

The Shopify App now includes User Profile Data Sharing settings that allow administrators to define whether users can access only their own data or all store-level data. 

This feature enhances privacy, access management, and data security—especially important for B2B workflows and multi-user environments. 

Merchants can now configure pricing decimal precision across the storefront, choosing from 0, 2, 3, or 6 decimal places. 

This ensures accurate price display across different currencies, tax structures, and regional pricing requirements. 

The DesignO messaging system has been redesigned to function more like a modern chat interface, improving communication between merchants and customers. 

Key enhancements include: 

• Clear visibility indicators for internal and customer-facing messages 

• Organized conversation threads with attachments 

• Bulk message handling 

• A five-minute editing window for message corrections 

This release also resolves several Shopify-specific issues: 

• Large Variant Handling: Products with extensive variant sets now load correctly, eliminating previous size and pricing inconsistencies. 

• Accurate Size and Color Swatches: Size and color options are now properly displayed on the Shopify Product Detail Page. 

• Improved 3D Preview Stability: Issues affecting 3D previews when switching between products have been fixed. 

• New Demo Product: A multicolor t-shirt has been added to the Shopify demo store, allowing users to test the tool before purchasing.
