Hat Builder

For custom hat shops

Let your customers design their own patch hat

Add a live hat designer to your website. Customers upload a logo, pick the hat, patch shape, leather and thread, and see it on a real hat photo before they send you the order.

What your customer does

From idea to a quote request in minutes

  1. Upload a logo

    PNG, JPG, SVG or WEBP. The builder cleans the background and shows how the artwork engraves on leather.

  2. Design the hat

    Choose a patch shape, size, leather and thread color. Pick from hundreds of hat styles and colors. Drag to place it exactly where they want it.

  3. See the price and send it

    Quantity price breaks update as they add hats. They send it for a free proof, or order and pay now. You get the mockup, the logo file and every setting.

Customers decide faster

02

You get a complete spec

Hat, color, patch shape and size, placement, leather, thread, quantity and the logo file arrive together.

03

It matches your site

Your name, colors, fonts, hats and prices. Turn off what you do not sell.

04

Works on a phone

Most customers will open it on a phone. The builder is laid out for small screens.
