Introducing the Simplio3D Product Configurator Plugin for WordPress
Announcement
We’re excited to unveil the Simplio3D Product Configurator, a brand-new WordPress plugin that empowers WordPress and WooCommerce stores to offer fully interactive 3D product customization plus add those custom products directly to your customers’ shopping carts.
It’s a major step forward for online stores selling configurable products like furniture, jewelry, and bespoke goods.
A Game-Changer for WooCommerce Stores
At its core, the Simplio3D Product Configurator plugin lets you embed 3D configurators you build in the Simplio3D platform directly into your WordPress site using a shortcode or embed link. But what truly sets this plugin apart is its deep integration with WooCommerce’s “Add to Basket” functionality.
With this feature, customers aren’t just configuring products, they can customize in real time and add their uniquely tailored product directly to the cart, just like a normal WooCommerce purchase. The plugin automatically handles communication between the configurator and WooCommerce cart, creating a unified, seamless shopping experience that feels native to your store.
How “Add to Basket” Works
Here’s a quick overview of how the WooCommerce integration works:
Install and Activate the Simplio3D Product Configurator plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
Create a WooCommerce Product (typically hidden) with an SKU and placeholder price.
Configure Your Integration inside the Simplio3D app, select “Add to Basket” mode and connect it to your WooCommerce product.
Embed Your Configurator using the provided
[simplio3d_configurator]shortcode with the product ID.Display the WooCommerce Cart on your site with the
[woocommerce_cart]shortcode.
Once set up, a visitor using the configurator can pick options, see the final customization, and click Add to Cart, and that item lands right inside the WooCommerce basket, ready for checkout, just like any standard product.
Why This Matters for eCommerce
This integration solves a big problem for stores selling highly configurable goods: how to let customers create something unique and buy it with a normal cart and checkout process.
Here’s what it unlocks:
Seamless shopping experience: Customers customize and shop without ever leaving your store.
Flexible pricing options: Let the configurator calculate a custom price and push it into the WooCommerce cart or fall back to your WooCommerce pricing if you prefer.
Mix and match: Sell traditional WooCommerce products side-by-side with fully customized 3D products in the same store.
Better conversions: Engaging, interactive product experiences help buyers feel confident in what they’re purchasing, boosting conversion and reducing returns.
Perfect for Custom Products
Whether you sell customizable furniture, accessories, gadgets, or industrial components, this plugin brings immersive 3D configuration and real eCommerce checkout together. Customers can visually build what they want and complete their purchase through WooCommerce’s trusted shopping flow — all without complex coding or custom development.
