When a user opts in (consent is required before any data is sent), the following information is transmitted to Freemius servers (` https://wp.freemius.com`): * WordPress admin email address, site URL, and WordPress/PHP versions (for license and account management) * Plugin activation and deactivation events * Anonymous aggregate usage data (only when the user explicitly opts in) No data is sent to Freemius without the user’s explicit consent. You can review and manage connected sites from your Freemius account dashboard. * Freemius Terms of Service: [https://freemius.com/terms/](https://freemius.com/terms/) * Freemius Privacy Policy: [https://freemius.com/privacy/](https://freemius.com/privacy/) ## Installation #### Minimum Requirements * WordPress 6.3 or higher * WooCommerce 8.0 or higher * PHP 8.0 or higher #### Automatic Installation 1.

The designer works with Simple and Variable products. It adds a “Customize Product” button on the single product page. ### Will my customers need to install anything? No. The entire designer runs in the browser using JavaScript. No plugins, apps, accounts, or browser extensions are needed on the customer’s side. ### Is it compatible with WooCommerce Blocks (cart and checkout blocks)? The plugin currently uses the classic shortcode-based cart and checkout. Blocks checkout is not yet supported (declared as incompatible). It works with the Classic Cart / Classic Checkout blocks. ### Can I offer the canvas on multiple sides of a product (front, back, sleeve)? Yes — this is a Pro feature. You can define as many named surfaces as you need, each with its own mockup image and canvas dimensions. ### Where are the designs stored? Designs are stored in your WordPress database (`wp_nxd_designs`). A permanent, immutable snapshot is saved to `wp_nxd_order_designs` the moment an order is placed — so order records are never affected if a design is later edited or deleted. ### Can customers save their design and come back to it later? In the free version, designs are associated with the current browser session. In Pro, logged-in customers can save named designs to their **My Account My Designs** page and resume or re-order them any time. ### How is the design attached to the WooCommerce order? At checkout, the plugin snapshots the full Fabric.js canvas JSON and a JPEG thumbnail into the `wp_nxd_order_designs` table, linked to the WooCommerce order and line item IDs. This snapshot is completely independent of the original design record. ### Can I translate the plugin? Yes. A complete `.pot` file is included in the `languages/` folder. You can create`. po` / `.mo` locale files with Poedit or Loco Translate. The text domain is `nextxen- designer`. ### Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce HPOS? Yes. The plugin explicitly declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables) and uses `wc_get_order()` throughout — never` get_post()`. ### Do I need to run npm or any build tools? No. Fabric.js is pre-bundled in `assets/vendor/fabric.min.js`. Site owners and end users never need to run any build commands. ### What data does the plugin store, and can it be deleted? The plugin creates two custom database tables (`wp_nxd_designs` and `wp_nxd_order_designs`) and one options entry (`nxd_options`). If you uninstall the plugin, `uninstall.php` removes all tables and options automatically. ### How do I get support? * **Free version:** use the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextxen-designer/). * **Pro version:** submit a ticket at [nextxentech.com/support](https://nextxentech.com/support/). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “NextXen Designer – Product Customizer for WooCommerce” is open source software.
