Yes, Webflow eCommerce does provide the functionality to allow customers to upload files as part of their orders. This feature can be useful for businesses that offer services like document editing, translation, or custom printing, where customers may need to submit files or documents for further processing.

Here's how you can enable file uploads for orders in Webflow eCommerce:

  1. Add a file upload field to the product page:
  • In the Designer, navigate to the product page where customers will add the item to their cart.
  • Drag and drop a file upload field from the Add panel onto the page.
  • Customize the design and label of the field as needed.
  1. Configure file upload settings:
  • With the file upload field selected, go to the settings tab in the right panel.
  • Under "File Upload Settings," you can specify the maximum file size and allowed file types (e.g., PDF, DOCX, JPG).
  • You can also set whether the field is required or optional.
  1. Store uploaded files:
  • By default, Webflow stores the uploaded files in the Webflow Hosting storage.
  • You can access the uploaded files from the Webflow Designer or CMS Editor.
  1. Retrieve uploaded files in the order details:
  • When a customer places an order, you'll be notified via email or through a Webflow integration.
  • The uploaded file can be accessed within the order details, along with other relevant information about the order.

By following these steps, you can easily implement file uploads into your Webflow eCommerce store, enabling customers to submit files for further processing, such as document editing or translation services.

Having this functionality not only enhances the customer experience but also allows you to streamline your workflow by directly receiving the necessary files from customers when they place an order.
