The short answer
Personalizado means personalized or custom-made. Name the material, size, color, and any spelling that needs to appear on the item. If a detail is exact, show it in writing so accents and names are copied correctly.
Describe exactly what you want customized
Ask which changes are possible before placing the order. Options depend on the product and the shop's process.
Quero encomendar uma caneca azul com este nome escrito em branco.
I'd like to order a blue mug with this name written in white.
Vocês conseguem fazer este modelo em outro tamanho?
Can you make this model in another size?
Confirm the price and expected completion date
Encomenda is an order and fica pronto means it will be ready. Ask the total price, any payment required, and when the item is expected to be ready. Do not assume that a custom order has the same return conditions as a ready-made product; ask the store about its terms.
Repeat the date and ask whether the shop will contact you when the order is ready.
Qual é o valor total da encomenda?
What is the total price of the order?
Em que dia o pedido deve ficar pronto?
On what day should the order be ready?
Repeat the order details before you leave
Summarize the product, chosen options, spelling, and pickup date in one sentence. Ask for a written order number or confirmation if the store provides one.
Clear details help you notice a misunderstanding while there is still time to correct it.
Só para confirmar: uma caneca azul, com o nome Ana, para retirar na sexta.
Just to confirm: one blue mug with the name Ana, to pick up on Friday.
Você pode anotar o número do pedido para mim?
Could you write down the order number for me?
Put it into practice
Specify every custom detail, confirm the total and ready date, and repeat the order before leaving.
