Shopify + Multipart Products: What’s New and How to Use It

You can now sell multipart products from Infigo directly through Shopify.

A “multipart product” is simply a product made up of several pieces that belong together. For example:

  • A stationery pack (business cards, letterheads, compliment slips)

  • A kit with multiple printed components

  • A product where you need to upload more than one file (front, back, insert, etc.)

Previously, these products only really worked well when you stayed entirely inside an Infigo storefront. With this update, the Shopify integration understands multipart products too, so your customers can configure everything from Shopify and you still get all the artwork and structure in Infigo.


What this new feature does

With this change, you can link a Shopify product to an Infigo multipart product and let customers:

  • Open the Infigo editor in an iframe inside Shopify

  • Work through all the parts of the product (and upload files where needed)

  • Add the configured product into the Shopify cart

  • Reopen and edit it from the cart

  • Complete checkout in Shopify as normal, while Infigo receives the full multipart job

You may also see small “Upload” and “Design” badges in the admin where products are linked, to show which flows are enabled for that product.


Before you start

To use this, you’ll need the Infigo–Shopify integration set up, at least one multipart product configured and working in Infigo, and a Shopify product that you want to sell using that multipart setup.

If you already link other Infigo products to Shopify (like MegaEdit products), the process will feel very familiar.


Linking a Shopify product to a multipart product

Think of it like this:

  • The Shopify product is what the shopper sees and buys.

  • The Infigo multipart product is what actually gets produced behind the scenes.

To link them, go to your Shopify admin and open the Infigo app or the screen where you normally map products. Choose the Shopify product you want, then search for your multipart product in the Infigo product list. Multipart products are now visible there alongside your other Infigo products. Select the multipart product and save.

From that point on, when a customer uses that Shopify product, they’ll actually be configuring the multipart product in Infigo.


Offering both “Design Online” and “Upload Files”

You can also use this to give customers a choice on the same Shopify product. For example, some people might want to design online in a template, and others might just want to upload print-ready files for all parts.

To do that, open the mapping screen for your Shopify product in the Infigo integration. Link a MegaEdit product for the “design” flow and a multipart product for the “upload” flow, then save. In the admin, you should now see badges like “Design” and “Upload” next to that product so you know both options are wired up.

How you show those options to the customer (e.g. two buttons, a toggle, or a dropdown) is up to your Shopify theme and how you choose to present it, but the underlying Infigo logic now supports both flows.


What your customers will see

From the customer’s perspective, this is what happens.

They go to your Shopify storefront and open the product you’ve linked. On that page they’ll see a button such as “Personalise”, “Customise”, “Design” or “Upload files” (the exact wording comes from how your theme is set up). When they click it, the Infigo editor opens inside the page in an iframe, rather than sending them somewhere else.

If the product is linked to a multipart product, they’ll see an editor that guides them through each part of the product. For each part, they can upload artwork, make any required selections and then move on to the next step. Once they’ve finished, they add the configured product to the basket. Although that basket is the Shopify cart, all of the multipart detail is passed back to Infigo in the background.

If they change their mind, they can go to the Shopify cart, click the edit option for that line (the exact label depends on your setup), and the editor will reopen with all their existing artwork and choices loaded. They can make changes, save, and the same line in the cart is updated.

When they are ready, they go through the normal Shopify checkout. Payment, confirmation and order history are all handled in Shopify as usual, but Infigo receives the final artwork and multipart structure so production can continue as normal.


Quick checklist to confirm it’s working

Once you’ve set things up, it’s worth running through a simple test yourself:

  • Link a Shopify product to a multipart Infigo product.

  • (Optional) Link a MegaEdit product as well to offer a design flow.

  • Check in the admin that the Upload/Design badges appear for that product.

  • On the storefront, open the product, launch the editor, upload files for all parts and add it to the cart.

  • From the cart, reopen and edit the item, then complete checkout.

  • Finally, confirm that the order and artwork appear correctly in Infigo.

If all of that works, you’re ready to let your customers loose on multipart products via Shopify.


When this is useful

This feature is particularly handy if you:

  • Sell packs or kits that naturally consist of several items

  • Need customers to upload multiple files for a single product

  • Want to keep using Shopify as your main shop window, but rely on Infigo to handle the more complex product setup and artwork workflow

You don’t have to change how you use Shopify day to day. You’re just letting Infigo take care of the messy multipart logic behind the scenes while your shoppers see a clean, simple flow.
