Salla name personalisation: a guide for your store

Your customers in Saudi Arabia love a piece that carries their name, their child's name, or the name of someone they are gifting. If your store runs on Salla, you can offer that without buying a single piece upfront. This guide walks you through Salla name personalisation step by step with B7R Print and print on demand: choosing the right product, working out your profit, and telling your customer when the order will arrive.

What is name personalisation on Salla?

Name personalisation means your customer types their name, or the name of the person they are gifting, into a field on the product page in your Salla store, and the piece is printed with that name after they buy, through print on demand with no stock and no minimum.

The idea is simple. You show a ready design with space for a name, and the customer fills in the rest. Nothing is printed in advance, and you never store named pieces that may never sell.

You never hold a box of blank shirts waiting for orders. Each piece is made only once a real customer has paid, so every sale is already spoken for. A name also turns an ordinary product into something personal, which gives your brand one more reason to be chosen.

Why do personalised products matter for a merchant in Saudi Arabia?

A piece with a name on it makes a natural gift for new babies, graduations and family occasions, and with print on demand you pay nothing until your customer buys.

Think about the moments people already shop for:

• A newborn's first outfit with their name on the front
• A graduation hoodie for a son or daughter
• Matching pieces with each family member's name for a family gathering
• A tote bag for a bride, a teacher or a close friend

In each case, your customer is buying something they won't find with the same name in any other store. They are not just buying fabric.

Because nothing is printed in advance, you can test a personalised idea in your store without putting money into stock first. If you are new to this model, read how print on demand works for Salla stores before you go further.

Which catalogue products suit name printing?

The white baby onesie, the beige tote bag, and the essential T-shirt, oversized T-shirt and hoodie in white or black all suit name printing, each with a front print area of 28 × 38 cm.

Choose the product that fits the occasion you are aiming at:

• Baby onesie: the clearest choice for newborn gifts. Soft cotton suited to a baby's skin, sizes 0-3M to 12-18M, white.
• Tote bag: a practical named gift. High-quality canvas with strong handles, one size, beige.
• Essential T-shirt: soft, high-quality cotton, sizes S to 2XL, white or black.
• Oversized T-shirt: heavy, durable cotton in a loose cut that suits younger buyers and modern designs, sizes S to 2XL, white or black.
• Hoodie: premium fabric with a soft lining and thumb holes, sizes S to XL, white or black. A good fit for graduation gifts.

All five use high-quality digital print, so a name sits cleanly next to your brand's design. Browse all products to pick what suits your audience.

How do you add a name field to your Salla store, step by step?

Create a free B7R Print account and connect it to Salla, then publish the product, add a text option for the name, and message our team on WhatsApp to confirm how the name reaches printing before you launch.

Follow these steps in order:

1. Sign up for B7R Print. The account is free and you get SAR 30 in welcome credit in your wallet.
2. Connect your Salla store from your B7R Print account. B7R Print also connects with Zid and Shopify, so choose Salla and complete the link.
3. Upload your design and publish the product to your store. Leave clear space for the name inside the 28 × 38 cm print area.
4. Open the product in Salla and add a text option so the customer can type the name. For the details, see our guide to Salla product options.
5. Message us on WhatsApp at 966501699572, or email contact@b7r.sa, to confirm how the name will reach printing.
6. Place a test order before you announce the product.

Don't skip the last two steps. Testing the path before your first real order protects you from a piece printed with no name or the wrong one. To see the full picture from order to delivery, read how it works.

How much can you earn from a personalised piece?

Your estimated profit is SAR 34 on a baby onesie (cost SAR 35, suggested selling price SAR 69) and SAR 94 on a hoodie (cost SAR 95, suggested selling price SAR 189), before shipping and tax.

Here is how the rest of the catalogue looks at the suggested selling price:

• Tote bag: cost SAR 30, selling price SAR 65, your profit SAR 35
• Essential T-shirt: cost SAR 45, selling price SAR 89, your profit SAR 44
• Oversized T-shirt: cost SAR 55, selling price SAR 119, your profit SAR 64

For example, say you list a baby onesie with the newborn's name at SAR 69. A customer orders it, the SAR 35 cost comes out of your wallet, and the estimated SAR 34 left over is your profit before shipping and tax. You pay nothing before the sale happens.

All of these figures are estimates before shipping and tax, and you set the final selling price in your store. Your actual profit depends on your pricing and how many pieces you sell. No product guarantees a set number of sales.

What mistakes should you avoid when designing the name?

Pick a clear Arabic font that works for both short and long names, set a character limit, and ask the customer to check the name before paying, because the piece is printed after purchase.

These are the most common slips and how to avoid them:

• A decorative font that is hard to read. Ornate scripts look lovely in a mock-up but lose clarity with some names. Choose a font that reads at first glance.
• A design that only fits one name. Test your font with a short name like Ali and a long one like Abdulrahman, so neither looks lost or cramped in the 28 × 38 cm area.
• A field with no character limit. Without a maximum, a customer may type a full name the design can't hold. State the maximum number of characters right next to the name field.
• No reminder to check spelling. Add a line on the product page such as: "Check the name and its spelling before you pay. Your piece is printed exactly as you type it." This cuts down on requests to change a piece after printing.
• Ignoring the colour of the piece. Black text disappears on a black hoodie. Keep enough contrast: dark text on white or beige, light text on black. Prepare a version of the design for each colour you offer.

When does a personalised order reach your customer?

The piece is printed and shipped from Jeddah under your store name within 5 days at most inside the Kingdom, so state this clearly on the product page.

A clear delivery window matters even more for gifts, since customers often buy with a date in mind: a birth, a graduation party, a family occasion. Put the 5 days in the product description and near the add to cart button, so customers can order in time and nobody is left guessing.

Because every parcel arrives under your store name, your customer sees your brand at each step, not anyone else's. If you have more questions about shipping or orders, you will find the answers in the FAQ.
