Frequently asked questions about Zuarbito
The most important answers about setup, the customer portal, plans and privacy.
Getting started
Who is Zuarbito for?
Shopify merchants who make personalized products themselves, for example with engraving, printing or embroidery. Zuarbito organizes the clarification of an order. It does not design products and does not replace a product configurator.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
No. The entire workflow runs without Shopify Plus.
Will Zuarbito contact my customers after installing?
No. Zuarbito starts in observe mode: orders are captured, but nobody is contacted. Customers only get messages once you turn on automation. Older open orders are only included if you explicitly select them.
Does Zuarbito work with my theme?
The customer portal and emails are independent of your theme. The product page block needs an Online Store 2.0 theme. Without the block, clarification runs by email.
Which languages are available?
The app, customer portal, emails and extensions are available in English and German. Dates and times follow your shop’s time zone.
For your customers
Do my customers need an account?
No. They get a personal link by email that works without signing in. It only applies to this order, is valid for seven days by default, and can be revoked and renewed.
Which files can customers upload?
JPEG, PNG and PDF up to 25 MB per file, with up to ten active files per item or unit. Every file stays in quarantine until the malware scan has finished.
What happens if a customer does not reply?
By default, Zuarbito sends a reminder after two and after five business days, at most twice per request. You can change both. Reminders stop on a reply, a cancellation or a new proof version.
Does Zuarbito approve proofs automatically?
No. An approval only comes from your customer’s explicit decision for the version shown. A timeout, an error or a missing reply never leads to an approval.
What is a print proof, and what does artwork approval mean?
A print proof is the preview of the finished product that your customer checks before production: text, placement, colors and files exactly as they will be made. Artwork approval, also called online proofing, is the customer’s confirmation of that proof. Zuarbito shows the proof in the customer portal, records the approval or the change request for exactly that version and keeps older versions from being approved by mistake.
Production and connections
Can I connect Zuarbito to my production system?
Zuarbito provides CSV, a PDF worksheet and a ZIP package, plus triggers and an action for Shopify Flow. You can connect your own workflows through these. We make no promises about specific third-party systems.
Do fulfillment holds stop production?
Holds keep supported merchant-managed fulfillment orders on hold in Shopify. They do not stop production that was started elsewhere.
Does Zuarbito work with options apps?
Zuarbito can import details from order attributes if you map the attribute to a field in your rule. Zuarbito does not fetch files from other apps; they show as open.
Plans and subscription
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free includes all features for up to ten personalized orders a month and 1 GB of storage, with no time limit. As your shop grows, you switch to Start, Pro or Business in the app. Paid plans come with a 14-day trial.
What counts as a personalized order?
An order with at least one item that matches one of your rules. It counts once a month, no matter how many units, messages or proofs it involves. Regular stock items don’t count.
What happens when I reach my limit?
At 80 percent, Zuarbito warns you. Once the limit is reached, new orders are no longer captured automatically, and there are no extra charges. You can add them by hand after changing plans or in the following month.
How do I cancel?
Uninstall Zuarbito in the Shopify admin under Settings → Apps. Shopify then ends the subscription automatically.
What happens after uninstalling?
Customer links, scheduled messages and open tasks end immediately. Active fulfillment holds stay in place in Shopify; you release them on each order. If the app stays uninstalled, Zuarbito deletes your shop’s data as soon as Shopify requests it.
Privacy and security
How does Zuarbito protect my customers’ data?
Sensitive details are stored encrypted, customer links are only kept as a hash, and files are delivered through short-lived signed addresses. You’ll find the details in the privacy policy.
Is an approval legal proof?
Zuarbito records when each version was confirmed. That is a technical trail for your workflow, not a legal assessment.
