Pomp Product Personalizer vs Fancy Product Designer

Fancy Product Designer, FPD for short, is one of the longest-running product designers for WooCommerce. Like Pomp it runs on your own server. Unlike Pomp it hands the customer a blank canvas. Pomp gives them your designs to fill in, and in Pro also lets them write their own text or upload their own artwork, placed where you set it. Which is better depends on how much freedom your customers need, and how much checking you want to do before you print.

A white T-shirt with Mia's bakery in a script font, beside the fonts and lines the customer chooses — In place of a blank canvas: in Pomp Pro the customer types their own lines, in the fonts the shop allows, and sees them on the product.

Why Pomp is the better choice

Your designs are the product. In Pomp a design is written once, as text with a place for the name, and it works on every product you have set up. A hundred new slogans are a hundred lines of text, or one CSV import.
Uploads you can actually print. In Pro a customer’s SVG or image is checked, rebuilt and held for your approval before its print file is issued, and a picture too small for the print is refused on upload. Their own text is set in the fonts you allow, so it prints in fonts you have.
You want full control of how the print sits. Each product gets its own print area, rotation, print colour per variation and a warp grid that bends the preview around a mug or a cap, set once and copied to products of the same shape. Each line of a design has its own height, position, margins and colour. So one design looks right on a shirt, a mug and a cap alike, and the print file still arrives flat, in the shape of the print area. More in print placement and warp.
Every side, set up by you. With Pro one product prints on up to five sides that you name, the back and a sleeve of a jersey or both sides of a mug, and each side prints what you decide: the design’s text, the customer’s own text or upload, or your crest, with its own photo, print area and warp. Where you allow more than one, the customer chooses on that side. They fill in boxes instead of laying out a canvas, and every side arrives with its own print file.
You want the print file without extra services. Every Pomp order carries an SVG, a PDF or both, with the text already converted to outlines, in the shape of the print area. There is no separate export service and no monthly allowance.
You want it from wordpress.org. The free plugin is reviewed and served by wordpress.org and updates like any other plugin. Pro is the same code with the customer’s own text and artwork added.
Your customers are on phones. Most customers now make their artwork on their phone and only need somewhere to send it. A name typed into a form, or a finished picture sent from the phone it was made on, is far less to do on a small screen than a layered canvas.

A CSV import of designs, twenty rows of titles, categories and lines of text, each marked OK — A hundred new designs as one CSV import: a row for each, with its title, category and lines of text, checked before anything is saved.

The honest summary

For most shops Pomp is the better choice: it is free on wordpress.org, every design fits every product with its own placement, colour and warp, every order arrives with a flat SVG or PDF ready to print, and with Pro the customer’s own words or finished artwork are checked before they reach you. Fancy Product Designer is worth it only if your customers want a free canvas to drag several pieces around themselves.
