✨ Product personalization fields
✨ Shipping zones for state and ZIP/postal codes
✨ Custom blocks for your transactional emails
✨ Our first FREE Cart-Genie compatible Webflow template released
✨ ...and more (details below)
Product Personalization Fields
You can now add personalization fields to products so your customers can enter custom information before adding the item to their cart!
(This was a front page Webflow Ecommerce Wishlist item, with 321 votes. Cross it off the list. 💪)
Popular use cases:
- Custom names or initials for engraving or embroidery
- Location for where to put the engraving
- Special sizing instructions for tailored or handmade items
- Personal dedication for signed books or artwork
- Custom delayed shipping date (i.e. Deliver on March 2nd so it arrives on your mom's birthday!)
- File URL to send over specific large images
Shipping Zones at the State & ZIP/Postal Code Level
Now you can fine-tune where you ship by limiting zones to specific states or postal codes—perfect for managing costs, delivery times, or service areas. A small adjustment with big impact, giving your store sharper control and seamless checkout experiences.
Postal codes are supported globally. 🌎 States are supported for the US (British, Canadian, and Commonwealth friends...we'll get to you soon, too!).
NOTE: This is a great way to set up a Local or In-Store Pickup option if you have a physical location!
Customize CartGenie Email Content
We started by adding a lot more customization to your email templates to ensure consistent and strong brand identity.
Now you can also personalize your CartGenie email communications with additional text and headline blocks! Right inside the editor, add blocks where you want to tailor messages, branding, and tone. Or maybe you want to give specific instructions or insert links to support docs.
It’s never been easier to enchant your customers with emails that match your store’s voice and vibe.
