Note that for Custom Requests you can ask your customers a question or even let them upload a file with their requests – this can be helpful for reviews or audits!

Pro Tip: Give Your Customers a Timeline

Since you'll have up to 7 days to fulfill the custom request on Pillar - make sure you let your customers know when they can reasonably expect a response from you. Example: "I'll get you a response within 2 days!"

A Note About Layout

Pillar offers four layout options for digital product blocks. The default layout, shown above, is called the Panel layout option, where there is a large horizontal button and small thumbnail image. You may also style your blocks as links or tiles.

Links appear the exact same way as links to external URLs. The only difference is that once these links are clicked, the viewer is redirected to a checkout page on your Pillar store. Tiles are square blocks that have the full thumbnail as the background. They look quite nice when you have a lot of blocks on your store.
