Collect customer files with the order
File Uploads Addon Pro extends File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce with advanced tools for collecting files that are required to fulfill an order. Customers can upload images, documents, and other files directly on the product page before adding an item to the cart.
The uploaded files travel with the order and are available in the cart, on the checkout page, and inside the WooCommerce order details screen. This gives store owners and shop managers a central place to review the files connected with each purchase instead of requesting them through separate messages.
Control uploads by product
Pro adds a per-product on/off toggle in the product edit screen. Store administrators can therefore enable or disable file uploads for individual products without code. This is useful when only selected products require artwork, reference material, measurements, documents, or other customer-provided information.
The underlying addon also supports category-level control for enabling uploads on specific WooCommerce product categories. Developers can further restrict uploads to selected product IDs using a filter hook and a code snippet.
Multiple files and validation
Customers can upload more than one file per product with the Pro edition. This can support multi-page documents, several image angles, or different design variations. Store owners can also set a maximum file size to keep uploads manageable and protect available server capacity.
For image-based products, image resolution validation allows minimum and maximum resolution limits to be defined. This helps stores request files within specified resolution ranges, such as artwork intended for print production.

Customer instructions and administration
The customer instruction field lets buyers add notes alongside their files. This can be useful for customization details, production directions, reference information, or other context needed by the fulfillment team.
The on-page image preview lets customers review an uploaded image before adding the product to the cart. The email attachment feature places uploaded files in the new order notification email, while the WooCommerce order screen keeps the files available for administrative review.
Practical use cases
The addon suits print-on-demand stores, personalized gifts, apparel, signage, design services, document services, custom furniture, education services, and other businesses where fulfillment depends on customer-provided files. Examples include logos, photos, artwork, prescriptions, briefs, measurements, documents, and design files.
Installation
Install File Uploads Addon Pro in the WordPress site running WooCommerce, then configure upload settings for the relevant products or categories. Set file size and image resolution rules, add customer instructions where needed, and review the resulting files through order details and notification emails.
