##Overview
Product customization is the process by which we allow shoppers to customize products that they purchase at a web store and pass down this information to the retailer at their POS system. This process can be set up to charge shoppers for the customization.
The system allows the shopper to add an item to their basket multiple times, each time with a different customization. An example use case for this is a shopper ordering 15 medals with a different name on each.
We do this by:
- Presenting a product customization interface on product pages;
- Passing the information entered in the product page to the POS using the RMS product_comment field;
- Adding special tag-along items to the item being customized. By pricing these tag-along items at 0.01 each and adding a certain quantity of these tag along items we can the shopper for the customization;
- Allowing the retailer to define the customization that the shopper can enter at the POS by entering codes into NSc PAM;
