I have set up a spreadshirt shop, I'm uploading my products, but I see something I do not like, If I want different coloured t-shirts, I have to make separate products I would prefer if the buyer can set the colour, they can set the size or quantity, why not colour, say if I had 500 designs, 500 shirts if you like, and each one could be on 5 different colour shirts, I have to list 2500 'different shirts' professional clothing stores do not do this, you specify the colour, the best of these will also change the t-shirt image.

What can we do, I don't want to have 5 different listings for 1 product just so I can have different colours, I want one list image, then select the colour, I thought perhaps a premium shop may have the option, I haven't got one yet, I asked support what the advantage was and didn't see a whole lot of difference, only that you can upload more images and have spreadshirt removed from stuff and a logo on an invoice.

Whats the deal here, whats the options for different colours of the same shirt.

This is a good question. We have one thing that might be a solution. After you create the product, you edit the name, descption, price, etc. There is an option for Free Color Selection - if you check this box, the customer will be able to change the color of the shirt when they order.
I have this option active on some of the shirts in my shop - you can see it in action here - Black (or you choose the shirt color) Black Text and Red Heart "I heart PGH" T-shirt - light weight cotton ~ Men's Lightweight cotton T-Shirt ~ IheartPGH Shop

I hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info.

Just an update on this Free Color Selection Feature. Now when the customer changes the color of the shirt, the basket preview will show the correct color for the shirt color they selected!

I know I'm bringing up an old topic, but is there anyway to have only certain colors available? I want to de-select a few. I have a design in black and would like to not have dark shirts available, like black. Although it would be funny if someone ordered one in black on black...

Hi visualnewbie,

No there is not a way to deselect certain colors from showing when you select the Free Color Selection. All available colors of that product would be available for the customer to choose from. If you have particular designs you do not want dark colors for, then you would need to create the products you want to have available for that design.

We just released a new feature where you can clone a product, so if the product is already created, you can click to clone it and the product will load in the Designer. You would then be able to change the shirt color and add that addition to your account. You can also edit a product, so if the placement is too high, you want to allow the customer to change the text on the shirt and forgot, etc, then you can click to edit the product and make the changes.

Thanks,
Temple

Thanks Temple! I have another question that's a bit off topic... Is there any way to create design categories? I have the basic shop and I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the premium...

At this time, design categories are not an option, but that is something we are working on providing, so you can create design categories in the future.
