Customize It

The Idea
The seller creates a few designs and he wants his customers to be able to further personalize those for their own needs.

Note This T shirt is personalized only for a particular buyer. It should not be available in the CafePress Marketplace. 

Option 1. Create a special page "PERSONALIZE It" where the buyer can personalize a given design.  We can then either send the buyer through the Create and Buy experience to buy the Shirt. The seller can make Affiliate commission this way. 

Option 2. Alternatively, the seller can create a tool on his site where he allows his customers to create personalized shirts, upload these in a hidden section is the sellers store and then  buy it through the regular checkout flow ...product page/cart etc. The seller earns the markups and volume bonus commission this way. 

Plan Phase 1 - support jpg, png, gif, transparency. Max Image size 2MB.The Actual image will be uploaded to Cafepress servers. Phase 2 - More Products, Phase 3- Bigger Size images, 2 phase download (Get thumbnail images real-time while ordering on the site, get the bigger image while fulfilling the order)

A.) Sellers - Setup the Product Templates in a CafePress Store.
  Design the shirt (front in this example). Buyers will later be allowed to customize the back or enhance the front.

B.) Customers - A separate page "Customize It" that lives on the sellers site (or on Cafepress.com)
