How to turn on engraving for a Wix product: area in mm, text lines and font

Step 1 — Open the product

Go to Products, find the product and click Edit. The product opens on the Engraving tab.

Expected result: You see the product name, its badge and the Engraving card with the "Engraving on this product" switch.

Step 2 — Set the item size and the engraving area in mm

Under "Item and engraving area (mm)", enter the item width and height, then the area width, area height and its distance from the left and top edges.

You can also drag the blue box on the product photo; the From left and From top values update as you move it.

Expected result: The blue box sits where the engraving goes, and the line under the photo shows the item and area size in mm.

Step 3 — Choose the font and the material

Pick the font shoppers will see. Gelasio is the default; type in the field to find another font quickly. Then choose the material: glass, light wood, dark wood / walnut, leather and more. The material sets the colour of the preview, for example light text on dark wood.

Expected result: The sample text on the photo changes to the font and colour you chose, and the engraving file uses the same font.

Step 4 — Add the text lines shoppers fill in

For each line, write the label shoppers see (for example "Family name"), a sample text, the maximum number of characters and the alignment. Tick Required if the line must be filled, and "Shrink long text to fit" to keep long names inside the area. Click "+ Add a text line" for a second or third line.

Expected result: Each line has its own card. Lines you mark Required must be filled before a shopper can add the product to the cart.

Step 5 — Save and turn engraving on

Click "Save and turn engraving on" at the bottom of the card. The next time you edit, the button reads "Save engraving".

Expected result: A message confirms "Engraving is on. Customers can now type their text on the product page."
