The Simplio3D Shopify App Is Now on the Shopify App Store

Simplio3D is now on the Shopify App Store. The Simplio3D Shopify app, listed at apps.shopify.com/simplio3d since 11 November 2026, brings your 3D product configurator into Shopify itself. You install it from your Shopify admin, connect your Simplio3D account and add the configurator to your theme with blocks that use your store’s own fonts, colours and buttons.

Shoppers choose materials, colours, sizes and text, see every choice on the 3D model, and add the configured product to the cart with each choice attached. This post covers what the app adds, how to install it, the blocks you can place in your theme, how the configured price reaches the cart, and what the plans cost.

What the Simplio3D Shopify app adds

There are two ways to connect Simplio3D to Shopify, and the app on the Shopify App Store is the recommended one. This is what it brings:

• An install like any other Shopify app. There is no app to build and no Client ID or secret to copy. The store owner approves the permissions in Shopify, so it works on any store, a client’s included.
• Blocks for Shopify’s theme editor. The 3D viewer, the options, the price, a summary, Add to cart and a quote form are each a block you place and style yourself, on product pages and on any other page.
• The price shoppers see is the price they pay. For each connected product you choose whether the cart charges its Shopify price or the price your configurator calculates, and Simplio3D checks that price again on its server.
• Every choice on the order. What the shopper chose is written on the cart line and on the order, and the order can keep a picture of the configuration.
• AR from the product page. Shoppers can place the product in their own space on iPhone, iPad and Android. On a computer, a QR code opens the same configuration on their phone.
• A plan on your Shopify bill. Starter and Pro are chosen on Shopify’s plan page and paid with the rest of your Shopify bill, each with a 30-day free trial.

Connecting your own Shopify app with a Client ID and secret still works for a store you own. The table below compares the two.

Before you install

• Someone who can install apps on the store: the store owner, or a staff account with the “Manage and install apps” permission.
• A Simplio3D account. If you don’t have one, create it from the app: creating the account is free, and the form is filled in with your store’s details.
• A published project. Viewer, Configurator and Modular projects can all be connected to a product. A project protected by a password can’t, because shoppers would be asked for it.
• An Online Store 2.0 theme for the blocks, which includes Dawn, Horizon and every Theme Store theme since 2021. An older theme such as Debut has no app blocks, so you turn on Simplio3D on every connected product instead.

One Simplio3D workspace connects one Shopify store at a time. If you build for several clients, give each client store its own workspace.

The blocks you can add to your theme

In the theme editor, every Simplio3D block is under Add block (or Add section) → Apps, on product pages, the home page, landing pages and collections. The blocks are drawn in your theme’s style and follow each other. On a product page, each one shows the project connected to that product. On any other page, you pick the project once, on one block, and the rest follow it.

Configurator options is a complete configurator on its own: it also shows the 3D viewer, the price and Add to cart, and leaves out any of them the page already has as a separate block, so a page never shows two prices or two buttons.

Because the blocks of one product share one configuration, you can build your own layout. Put the 3D viewer in place of the product images, the configured price under the title, and the options, the summary and Add to cart below them. A choice updates the 3D view, the price, the summary and what Add to cart adds, all at once.

For a product that needs the whole configurator, use the 3D configurator block, which shows it in one frame exactly as on its share link, or the Customize button, which opens it full screen. Modular projects open in the full configurator, because that is where modules are placed. On a theme without app blocks, turn on Simplio3D on every connected product in the app: every product you connect then gets a Customize button, or the 3D viewer with the options on the page, without adding a block.

The price shoppers see is the price they pay

Each connected product has one Price in the cart, chosen in the Simplio3D app under Manage next to the product:

• Shopify product price. Shoppers pay the product’s own price whatever they choose, and the configurator shows no price of its own, so the only price on the page is your theme’s.
• Configured price. Shoppers pay what the configurator calculates from their options. The price is shown above Add to cart, and the cart and checkout charge it, on every Shopify plan.

The configured price needs a Configurator project with pricing turned on, priced in your store’s currency. The first time you choose it, Shopify asks for one more permission, to change what cart items cost, and Cart price and picture is turned on. Simplio3D prices the shopper’s choices again on its server, so a shopper can’t change the price, and if it can’t be charged, the Add to cart button hides rather than sell at the wrong price. Viewer and Modular projects use the Shopify product price.

The same card saves a picture of each configuration with the order, as a link in the line’s details. Draft Order checkout and, on Enterprise, the SKU-matched cart keep working with the app, for stores that take their price from Simplio3D that way.

Plans and billing through Shopify

With the Simplio3D Shopify app you choose a Simplio3D plan on Shopify’s own plan page and pay for it on your store’s Shopify bill. You can switch between Starter and Pro, or cancel, on the same page at any time.

Enterprise isn’t sold through the Shopify app, and a workspace that already has an Enterprise plan keeps it. If you already pay Simplio3D by card, the app says so and charges nothing through Shopify. To move that subscription to your Shopify bill, open Billing & Plan in the Simplio3D dashboard and choose Move billing to Shopify.

Setting it up for a client’s store

Agencies and freelancers never need a client’s password or a seat in their Shopify organisation. The client installs the Simplio3D app in their own Shopify admin. Whoever clicks Connect Simplio3D account signs in and picks the workspace: the client’s own, or a client workspace you have joined on an Admin seat. Everyone who can open the app in that Shopify admin sees the connected workspace’s projects, so connect each store to that client’s workspace.
