Product Matrix
The Product Matrix is an essential planning document that helps define your Brands custom product offerings and their options.
The Product Matrix enables you to:
Define products for customization
Specify available customization options
Document customization constraints
Ensure accurate visualization setup
Product Customization List Template
Prepare Product Matrix Template
Preparing a product matrix involves the following:
2D or 3D Visualization
Specify a visualization type required for the product.
Brands can choose between, 2D or 3D.
Customization Location
Brands can specify all areas/zones where customization can be applied. For Example, Hat: "Front panel, Side panel, Back" Polo: "Left chest, Right sleeve, and Upper back".
Personalization Options
Details the ways brands can personalize the product. Common options include:
Text additions (names, numbers, messages)
Logo placements
Pre-designed graphics or emblems
Monogram options
User-uploaded images
Product Color Options
Indicates whether brands can select different color options for this product. A Yes means your product will offer color variants, while a No indicates the product comes in a single color only.
This information helps us configure the correct type of color selection interface in the customizer.
Site/Domain
List all e-commerce domains where this product's customizer will be deployed.
Example:
Copygolf.example.com
wholesale.example.com
retail.example.comNote: If the same product customizer will appear on multiple domains, list all applicable URLs.
Product Name Entry Each product name represents a unique item for visualization in the VU Custom platform. Similar products with different variants (like gender-specific versions) require separate entries, as they are considered distinct products for customization purposes.
Examples of Distinct Products:
Men's Polo vs. Women's Polo
Youth Jersey vs. Adult Jersey
20oz Tumbler vs. 30oz Tumbler
Product Image
A reference image that helps identify the product. Links can point to:
E-commerce product pages
Catalog listings
Website URLs
Internal image libraries
This initial reference image helps identify the product, while the detailed technical assets will be needed later in the process to build the visualization.
Specifying these options helps us understand what offerings Brands wish to power on their custom product. Once completed, we'll review your requirements and begin configuring the necessary visualization methods for each product.
Speaking of visualization, let's explore the key differences between 2D and 3D product visualization to help you choose your products.
