File Uploads

Any time a customer uploads files (either from Custom Forms or Product Options) there is a record with a download link created. To access it, go to the System → Data → File uploads.

Example: Product Options File Uploads

Let's illustrate how file uploads work with product options

Product Edit Page: Go to the product edit page for the product where you want to add a file upload option.

Add New Option: Add a new option to the product.

Element Type: File: Set the element type of the option to "File."

 

 

  • Allowed File Extensions: Specify the allowed file extensions, separated by commas (e.g., pdf, doc, jpg). This restricts the types of files customers can upload.

  • Subfolder Name: Enter the name of a subfolder within the /admin/system/uploads/ directory where the uploaded files will be stored. This subfolder will be created automatically if it doesn't already exist.

 

Customer Upload: When a customer views the product on your storefront, they will be able to select and upload a file for the specified option.

 

 

Order Placement: Once the customer places the order, the uploaded file will be saved to the subfolder you specified in the option settings.

File Access: You can then access the uploaded file through the System → Data → File Uploads section in your admin panel. The record will contain a download link to the file.
