Can I add customization features like text fields, file uploads, and checkboxes using Swatch King?

No — Swatch King styles Shopify's own product variants. Text fields, file uploads and checkboxes are custom inputs, which need a product options app instead.

No. Swatch King styles the variants your Shopify products already have — it changes how your existing options look, and it does not create new ones.

Text fields, file uploads, checkboxes, date pickers and add-ons are a different thing. They are custom inputs, not Shopify variants: they carry no inventory, no SKU and no price of their own, and Shopify does not store them on the product. Adding them needs a product options app, and no StarApps app does it.

What Swatch King does instead: it takes the options you have already set up in Shopify — Color, Size, Material — and replaces your theme's dropdowns with swatches, buttons or styled selectors.
