Virtual preview for canvas printing website?

Hello Warriors,
I'm looking for some assistance.

I have a canvas printing client that is looking to add a feature to their website that will allow customers to upload their own images and preview it as a canvas and choose size etc. then complete the order all in one system

Here's a working example of a similar system - Upload & Print Your Digital Photos | Point 101

The client's website runs on Wordpress, so a solution that could be integrated into WP is vital.

Can anyone help? Warriors?

    It's a pretty clever setup. It's definitely custom built using flash.

    The basic principle is not that different from advanced product options in a shopping cart, but they do it in a very clever way with a few extra features.

    To duplicate some of those features, you'll likely need to have it built, html5 or flash would be pretty ideal to duplicate those capabilities.
    And that could be integrated into WP as a custom plugin.

    Thanks David V - Yes, it's a neat setup.

    Just wondering if there is a system out there I can licence instead of attempting to create a bespoke solution (which I'd have to outsource the creation of.)

    I just can't find out where to look to find such a system...

    I don't know of anything that would be turn-key like that.
    There very well may be a solution like that specifically made for printing companies, I just haven't seen one.

    You might also look at other printing company websites and browse their source code for clues to what they might be using.

    Hi MalBryc,

    Sorry I wish I saw your post sooner. If you're still looking for a website solution you can license that will provide create-your-own app and ecommerce and all that, search for this:

    MyStyle Platform by One Giant Media

    It powers sites like this canvas printing one:

    MakeCanvasPrints - Design your own canvas print and get your photos on canvas!

    cheers
