This app appeared to be everything I needed and I was very wrong. I've never seen an app try to nickel and dime their clients so badly. Customer service is slow and unhelpful. They'll give you one answer to your question and then contradict themselves with a different answer to the same question; then offer to charge you an additional fee with a different app. I have invested a large amount of time into customization and I am now willing to throw that effort away and find a different app. I recommend to continue your search for this type of app and move along. Stay away from this product.

Great app with extensive features. Integration into shopify is quick and easy. Customizable products can be created from existing shopify products, so the plugin can handle variant products and stock levels. It has many options to build pricing structures e.g. based on print type, print size, quantity and more. The front end is designed well and doesn't feel like an external tool at all. We've tested several customization plugins, and this one finally has all the features we need. Plus, customer service has been really helpful with a few details we were missing.

Zakeke is a fantastic personalization tool! Easy to use, seamless Shopify integration, and great support. The 3D preview really helps customers and has boosted our sales. Highly recommended!

Guisi and the team have been outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Creating custom designs for our products on Shopify has been so simple and seamless thanks to Zakeke -- keep job so far, highly recommend!!

(Updated Review) Zakeke has truly impressed me—not just with the platform itself, but with the team behind it. When I first started using Zakeke, I rated it 3 stars. The seller tools were excellent, but the buyer experience had some frustrating issues. I shared my concerns, and what really stood out is that the Zakeke team—including the COO—personally reached out to understand and address them. Since then, we’ve been working together on improving key parts of the experience, and I’ve already seen meaningful changes. If you’re a seller and run into challenges, don’t hesitate to speak up—Zakeke listens and genuinely works with you to improve the platform. While it can be pricy, the combination of robust features and responsive support makes it worth it. It’s not perfect yet, but it has a lot of potential, and I now feel confident recommending it.

Great experience as a seller with the team. Fast, pro-active and friendly communication and a lot of willingness to find solutions and also advancing trust in growth. As the tool is constantly evolving, some reviews I saw here regarding a bad buyer experience are not true anymore. The usage for the customer is more intuitive now. Very reliable tool - would 10/10 recommend.

Seller Experience: ★★★★☆ (4.9/5) Buyer Experience: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) As a seller, Zakeke has been an incredibly helpful tool. I really appreciate how well-organized the backend is. Features like predesigned templates, printing methods, and bulk personalization options make it a top-tier platform on the seller side. From that perspective, it easily deserves a 4.9 out of 5. Unfortunately, the buyer experience is where Zakeke seriously falls short—and that’s ultimately the most important part. If your customer isn’t tech savvy, they will likely struggle (and many of mine have). Here are some key issues I’ve encountered: Navigation Confusion: After customizing, buyers are automatically redirected to the cart. If they want to purchase multiple of the same item with different personalizations, it’s not clear, for them, how to go back. Shopify Limitation: On the Shopify platform, it currently doesn’t allow the “customize” button to replace the “add to cart” button, unlike the option for WooCommerce. Many buyers skip customization entirely and just leave notes during checkout—defeating the purpose of using Zakeke in the first place. I end up having to manually create links post-purchase, which costs me more time and money. No On-Page Preview: I really dislike that buyers have to click a separate button just to start customization. Tools like Customily offer embedded previews directly on the product page—Zakeke should too. Mobile Experience is Poor: Even after the 2025 update, the mobile and touchscreen experience is unreliable. I’ve had to tell buyers to switch to a laptop just to get it to work properly. UI/UX Confusion: Buttons like “Save” vs. “Complete” are unclear and frustrating for customers. I’ve had to intervene and complete personalizations manually for buyers—exactly what I was hoping to avoid by using Zakeke. Pricing Concerns: The cost structure can be excessive if you're not familiar with 3D setup or configuration fees. Between per-sale percentages and additional setup costs for 3D items, it’s not beginner-friendly or budget-friendly unless you’re technically inclined. Overall, I want this platform to succeed, and I hope this feedback is taken seriously. Until the buyer experience is dramatically improved, I can’t recommend Zakeke to others. I purchased it to streamline customizations—not to take on extra work—and right now, it's doing the opposite. If major improvements are made on the buyer side, I’ll be happy to update this review.

I was initially very excited to try Zakeke, as its functionality seemed perfect for automating and streamlining our customisation workflow. Zakeke promotes "Printing Methods" as a core feature — to quote their own description: “This is where you can create a printing method and assign it to one or more products, sides, or even variants.” However, after setting it up with a Print-on-Demand (POD) integration, I quickly discovered a major limitation: you cannot assign additional Printing Methods when using POD. This was a dealbreaker for us. The app markets itself as both POD-friendly and focused on advanced print configuration — but in practice, you have to choose one or the other. If you opt for POD, you lose access to what Zakeke itself calls a “core” part of the platform. It’s frustrating. We were hoping to use Zakeke to automate and control our custom print setup, but instead found it lacked the very functionality we needed most. If you rely on POD, be aware: you won’t be able to create Zakeke’s Printing Methods. That said, - their support team is very responsive and provided quick assistance when needed.

Thanks to the support from the Zakeke team! Throughout the process, we received valuable guidance and assistance that helped us bring our vision to life. A special thanks to Giusi for her availability and helpfulness, her support has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the Zakeke team we have been able to develop an unique 3D model for our products. The detail and partnership we have experienced with Zakeke has been thorough in our entire process. We have received support and guidance on building our product. We are pleased with Zakeke and the customer service
