Why are file details labeled "uploadery_1"?
By default, uploadery_1 is the generated field name Uploadery uses for file details. This name is displayed at checkout with the customer's uploaded file.
Follow the instructions in this article to change the field name value(s) to better match your file(s).

Why is there a bunch of text at checkout after a customer uploads a file?
You can hide the file upload details on the checkout page by prepending the Field Name value with an underscore.
For example, changing "uploadery_1" to "_uploadery_1" will hide the file upload details.
Please note that this will only work if all the spaces are filled in with underscores rather than spaces. For example: "_uploadery_1" instead of "uploadery 1".

Why is the upload file not getting saved in the order?
Possibility 1:
There may be an issue with the placement of the install code snippet. In order for the upload file details to display properly in the order, the snippet needs to be placed within the form section of their code file. Refer to this article for more information on how to properly install the code snippet.
Possibility 2:
In some cases, themes don't display upload files in the cart by default. Follow the instructions in this article to display them in the cart.
Possibility 3:
If your theme uses an AJAX cart, which is a type of cart that doesn’t make your product page reload, the uploaded files from your customers may not be stored on the order form. As all themes are different, we suggest you contact your theme's developer to see if there's a way to disable the AJAX cart.
Possibility 4:
If you have multiple upload fields with the same Field Name, they may override each other.

I need to have a customer upload more than two files to my product page, how do I do this?
If you have a t-shirt business or a similar setup where you need your customers to upload multiple images (front, back of shirt, etc...), you can create multiple upload fields for the product page and create specific labels for each.
For example, if you need a specific image to be printed on the front and back of the product, you can create labels such as “Front Image Upload Here” and “Back Image Upload Here”.
The label field in each upload set allows customers to create specific labels to specify which uploaded file will display on.

How can I display Uploadery on all of my products?
You can select
Show for All Products when you assign the upload field to your products.

Yes! Follow the instructions in this article:
Reorder Upload Sets/Upload Fields.
Can my customers upload a file on the cart page?
Customers can only upload files on product pages.
Can my customer see the image they uploaded before they add the product to the cart page?

Displaying an image preview is a great way to assure your customers that they have uploaded the file correctly, and that you will receive it once they purchase the item. Follow the directions here to get started.

Will Uploadery allow me to show customers the product with the uploaded file?
Uploadery will not show you a live preview on a product, but you can set specifications for the file size in the upload field.
