Quick start

Last updated September 2, 2026

If you’d rather see Sigmira work than read about it, start here. In about the time it takes to make a coffee, you’ll have a real product on your store that a customer can personalise and pay for: proof the whole thing hangs together before you invest in the finer details. We’ll move quickly and link out to the in-depth version of each step, so you can always circle back once you’ve seen the shape of it.

Before you start

You need a working WooCommerce store and your Sigmira licence key. If you’ve not installed Sigmira yet, do Install & activate first (2 minutes), then come back.

The 10-minute path

  1. Connect a product. In the Sigmira Dashboard → Products, click + Add customizable product and pick one (a mug or t-shirt is a good first try). → details

  2. Add a view. In the product editor, click + Add View, name it (e.g. Front), and set a canvas size. → details

  3. Add a print area. Draw the area where customers may design, and set its print size in millimetres. → details

  4. Add a starting design (optional). Drop in a placeholder text layer like Your name here so the product doesn’t open blank. → details

  5. Save. Click Save All.

  6. Try it as a customer. Open the product on your store, click Customize This Product, add some text, and Add to Cart.

  7. See the result. Place the test order, then open Orders to view the design and download the print-ready file. → details

That’s a complete loop: your store can now take personalised orders.
