Salla product options: sizes and colours for printed items

Print on demand saves you from buying stock, but it asks you to set up your store with care. Every size or colour you show your customer has to be available to print, or you end up with an order nobody can fulfil. Here is how to set up your Salla product options for printed items with B7R Print, from sizes and colours to working out your profit and avoiding the usual slip-ups.

What are product options on Salla?

Product options on Salla are the sizes and colours your customer picks before paying, and each combination becomes a clear order that is printed after the purchase.

When a customer opens a T-shirt page in your store, they choose a size, then a colour, then add the piece to their cart. That combination, say a black oversized T-shirt in size L, is exactly what reaches B7R Print to be printed and shipped.

Think of each option as a promise to your customer. With print on demand, nothing sits on a shelf, so the options you set are the only thing that decides what gets printed. Good photos and a sharp description are not enough on their own. Any mistake in your options shows up straight away in the order.

Why do size and colour options matter for a print on demand merchant in Saudi Arabia?

Every option you show in your store has to match what can actually be printed, so the piece is printed in Jeddah and shipped under your store name within 5 days at most inside the Kingdom, with no stock.

In traditional retail you buy your quantities upfront, so you know which sizes and colours you have. With B7R Print there is no stock and no minimum. You have no shelves and no boxes, and a piece is printed only after your customer pays. The catalogue is your real inventory, and your store options need to mirror it exactly.

Three reasons put accurate options at the top of your list:

• Customer trust: A customer who orders a colour and then hears it is unavailable may not come back to your store.
• Smooth fulfilment: An order that matches the catalogue goes straight to print, with no delays or awkward messages to customers.
• Your brand: The parcel leaves under your store name, so any error in the order lands on your brand, not on the print floor.

Which sizes does the B7R Print catalogue support on Salla?

Show catalogue sizes only: S to 2XL for the essential T-shirt and the oversized T-shirt, S to XL for the hoodie, 0-3M to 12-18M for the baby onesie, and one size for the tote bag.

Use this list as your reference for each product's size options:

• Essential T-shirt: S to 2XL, soft, high-quality cotton.
• Oversized T-shirt: S to 2XL, heavy, durable cotton in a loose cut.
• Hoodie: S to XL only, premium fabric with a soft lining and thumb holes.
• Baby onesie: 0-3M to 12-18M, soft cotton suited to a baby's skin.
• Tote bag: one size, high-quality canvas with strong handles.

Copy these ranges exactly into your Salla product page, and leave out anything that is not on this list. Watch one point that trips up many merchants: the hoodie stops at XL, while the T-shirts go up to 2XL. If you copy your T-shirt options onto the hoodie as they are, you will be showing a size that does not exist.

The tote bag needs no size option at all. Keep it as one size. Your customer sees a clearer page and checks out faster.

Which colours are available for each product?

Choose white or black for the essential T-shirt, the oversized T-shirt and the hoodie, white for the baby onesie, and beige for the tote bag.

Colours are simpler to set up than sizes, because the choices are few and clear:

• Essential T-shirt: white or black.
• Oversized T-shirt: white or black.
• Hoodie: white or black.
• Baby onesie: white only.
• Tote bag: beige only.

For single-colour products like the baby onesie and the tote bag, skip the colour option in your store. Mention the colour in the description and show it in the photos, so your customer can focus on the design.

For two-colour products, test your design on both backgrounds before you publish. A dark design can disappear on black, and a light one can fade on white. If your design only works on one colour, offer that colour alone.

Every product has a front print area of 28 × 38 cm with high-quality digital print. Prepare your design for that space so it looks the way you expect on every colour.

How do you set up your options step by step at the lowest cost?

Sign up for your free B7R Print account and receive SAR 30 in welcome credit, then connect your Salla store, upload your design, and set the sizes and colours that match the catalogue before you publish.

1. Create your B7R Print account. The account is free, and you get SAR 30 in welcome credit in your wallet when you sign up.
2. Connect your store on Salla. B7R Print also works with Zid and Shopify, so pick the platform your store runs on.
3. Choose your product. Browse the products page and pick the piece that fits your brand.
4. Upload your design. Place it inside the 28 × 38 cm front print area.
5. Add the size option. Enter only the catalogue sizes for that product, and nothing beyond them.
6. Add the colour option. Enter only the available colours, and remove the colour option on single-colour products.
7. Check every combination. Open the product page as your customer sees it and try each size with each colour against the catalogue.
8. Publish. Once everything checks out, your product is ready for orders.

How much do you earn per piece once your options are set?

Your estimated profit is SAR 44 on the essential T-shirt at a cost of SAR 45 and a selling price of SAR 89, rising to SAR 94 on the hoodie at a cost of SAR 95 and a selling price of SAR 189, all before shipping and tax.

Here is the full picture at the suggested prices:

• 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.
• Hoodie: cost SAR 95, selling price SAR 189, your profit SAR 94.
• Baby onesie: cost SAR 35, selling price SAR 69, your profit SAR 34.
• Tote bag: cost SAR 30, selling price SAR 65, your profit SAR 35.

A real example: A customer in Riyadh orders a black oversized T-shirt in size L from your store for SAR 119. The order reaches B7R Print, and the piece is printed in Jeddah and shipped under your store name within 5 days at most. The cost is SAR 55, and your estimated profit is SAR 64 before shipping and tax, without buying a single piece upfront.

That order only went through because the size and colour were in the catalogue. Had you listed a colour that does not exist, you would have lost the order and the profit with it.

These numbers are estimates and depend on the selling price you set. They are not a guarantee of any sales volume or income. How your store performs comes down to your design, your marketing and your audience.

What are the common mistakes when setting up product options?

The most common mistake is showing a size or colour outside the catalogue, like a hoodie in 2XL or a black tote bag, which a customer can order but cannot be printed.

Check your store against these too:

• Copying options between products: You copy your T-shirt options onto the hoodie, and an unavailable 2XL appears.
• Adding colours that do not exist: You add a colour because it suits your design, but the catalogue does not carry it.
• A colour option on a single-colour product: You show a colour list on the baby onesie or tote bag, and your customer gets confused or picks something unavailable.
• A size option on the tote bag: It comes in one size, so a size list makes no sense.
• Photos that do not match the options: Your photo shows a white T-shirt while the default option is black, and your customer receives something they did not expect.
• Publishing before checking: You go live without testing every combination and only find the error after the first order.

The fix is the same every time. Make the catalogue your only reference, and review each product page through your customer's eyes before you go live.
