Do you think WooCommerce products lack the option to personalize items with extra product options?

WooCommerce Product with the Engraving field - Plugin Configuration
Engraving is one of the clearest examples of a feature that turns an ordinary product into a keepsake. A watch, a piece of jewelry, or a wooden cutting board becomes a one-of-a-kind item the moment a customer adds initials, a date, or a short message — and customers are often willing to pay a premium precisely because that personal touch can't be replicated or returned. For stores selling gift-oriented products, offering engraving directly on the product page removes the need for customers to request it separately by email, which keeps the entire purchase — and the personalization — in one smooth flow.

Flexible Product Fields - add the plugin directly from the directory Add product custom fields
2️⃣ Once you have the plugin installed and activated, let's configure it.
Choose Products → Product Fields in your WordPress menu. Then you need to add a new field group:
Fields Groups - Flexible Product Fields ✅ You need to specify the product(s) for which a customer will be able to order a gift message.
Select products for which you want to show the WooCommerce engraving field 💡 In the free version of the Flexible Product Fields, you have to specify products one by one while in the PRO version, you may select more products at once.-
Decide about the product engraving field type
You may use the free version of the plugin to add custom fields including engraving. ↪️It's also possible to charge customers an extra fee (in PRO).↩️

3️⃣ The next thing you need to do is to configure the engraving text field. Just add a text field in the Fields section below the Settings section.
WooCommerce Product Engraving - text field ✅ You can set a character limit if you want to. There's also an option to set a placeholder. That's how the engraving text field looks on the product page:

WooCommerce Product Engraving - cart page Deciding whether to offer engraving for free or at an extra cost often depends on how central personalization is to your brand. If engraving is a small nice-to-have on an already premium product, offering it for free can strengthen the perceived value without adding friction. But for stores where engraving requires real extra handling time or materials, pricing it separately is usually the more sustainable choice — and it also signals to customers that the personalization is a genuine, crafted addition rather than a generic checkbox.
WooCommerce product engraving at an additional cost
Although the previous example is completely fine, sometimes you may need something more. Of course, some brands would like to make engravings for free.
💡 If you want to charge a customer for it, you need some additional configuration. You can set any price you want for engraving so you can make some profit out of it, too. If you want to add price to the fields, you need the PRO version of the Flexible Product Fields plugin.✅After installing and activating the PRO version you will see the Price type and Price options. Look how I configured them:
WooCommerce Product Engraving - price settings That's how it looks on the product page. The cost of engraving is not added to the product cost when the field is empty.
WooCommerce Engraving - price on the product page As soon as a customer types something in, both the engraving cost and the product cost are summed up.

Maybe you don't want to show the engraving text field on the product page for every customer. It takes up some space and may distract your store's visitors. The best way to hide this text field is to use a checkbox.
👉🏽 So, if a visitor clicks on the checkbox, the engraving text field shows up. You'll need two fields (checkbox field and text field) where the second one uses conditional logic:
💡 Conditional logic is a feature available in the PRO version of the plugin.

Hello Szymon, interesting post. I am struggling to find a plugin that fits our needs. Let´s see if you can help me. We need to include the option to engrave our products in our shop. On the other hand, daily, our orders are sent out via email (Deluxe Store Export Pluggin) to our logistics center. I need a plugin that differentiates somehow between the orders with engraving (I need to engrave the product, then send to logistics) and without engraving (they will go stratight to logistics as we do now) automatically. In the end, I need a plugin that records that engraving was selected in one of the woocommerce database fields. This is how I can treat the orders differently logisticswise. Can this pluggin do this? I tried to install another similar pluggin from Envato and failed… engraving info is not recorded in any of the fields of the woocommerce database… engraving can only be seen when opening individual orders… Thanks for your help, have a great day!
Hi, You’ll find engraving selected or not in wp_postmeta.
How does the plugin handle multiple quantities. For instance, if I want to buy two watches with different engravings on each of them?
Anyway we can see a preview of engraving? Example: https://bensonandclegg.com/products/antiquesilverblazerbuttonsetdoublebreasted
