Frequently asked
Questions before you proof.
What is artwork proofing for Shopify?
Artwork proofing lets a merchant send a design linked to a Shopify order so the customer can approve it or request changes before production. It is especially useful for embroidered, engraved, printed, and personalized products.
How does ProofLock work with custom orders?
ProofLock connects an order to its artwork versions, sends the customer a secure approval link, records their decision, and prepares the approved file for production.
Can customers request changes?
Yes. The approval page gives customers clear options to approve or describe what needs to change. Your team can upload a new version and resend the link.
Which file formats are supported?
ProofLock supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and PDF files up to 20 MB.
Do revisions and reminders use more order slots?
No. One order reserves one slot. Its additional items, versions, reminders, and resends do not consume extra slots.
How is the subscription billed?
Plan selection, approval, and recurring billing are handled directly by Shopify. All three plans include a 14-day free trial.
Do I need to change my Shopify theme?
No storefront theme change is required for the core merchant and customer approval workflow.
Is ProofLock approved for the Shopify App Store?
Yes. ProofLock has been approved by Shopify. The public listing link will be added to this page as soon as it is available.
