I am wanting to use Inkscape on my online store website as the software used for my customers to design personalized products. How do I go about adding it to my online store site to do so? Is it possible? Thank you

Well, you'd have to go and check out the Inkscape code, and program it to work on your website. There's no special feature that will automatically integrate it into your store. I'm sure it's quite possible. In fact, not too long ago someone posted a link to their site where they did something like that. I don't remember enough to be able to search it out. It's definitely possible, but you'd have to have pretty strong programming or and web development skills.

One of the way integrating InkScape into your store is by writing an extension for InkScape which communicate with back-end of your store via REST. Depending on your store software and porgramming language used, the complexity is vary. You also need to keep in mind that extension code, as far as I know (py code), if open, also you'll need to implement token based (or other type) authorization.
