If you’re running a WooCommerce store that offers customizable products—whether it’s jewelry, watches, furniture, or tech gear—you’ve likely struggled with the limitations of traditional variable products. Managing images, SKUs, inventory, and pricing for every possible combination can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s where our Product Configurator for WordPress plugin offers a smarter, more scalable solution.
Dynamic Visuals Through Layered Rendering
At the heart of our configurator is a layer-based image system. Instead of pre-generating images for every possible variation, the plugin stacks visual layers in real time. This dramatically reduces the number of images you need to create while still delivering a highly engaging product preview to your customers.
For example, if you’re selling a customizable watch, you don’t need to create an image for every possible band, dial, and case combo. Each part can be rendered in its own layer, composited on the fly based on the customer’s selection.
Link Configurator Choices to WooCommerce Products
What sets this configurator apart is its ability to link each option to an actual product in your WooCommerce catalog. This means that when a customer selects a specific part—say a leather strap—it can be tied to a real product with its own SKU, stock levels, and pricing.
This transforms your configurator into something closer to a composite product or product bundle, but with far more visual and structural flexibility.
Add Components Directly to the Cart
Each selected component (that’s linked to a product) can be added to the cart as part of a grouped purchase. This provides an accurate and transparent shopping experience—your customer sees what they’re buying, and you keep granular control over inventory.
Need to track stock of that limited-edition bezel? No problem. Want to assign a different shipping method to a specific part? You can do that too.
You can keep the linked items visible in the cart, or hide them, keeping them visible only for the store management.
Benefits for Businesses
This approach offers several key advantages:
- Inventory Tracking: Each component can be tracked individually through WooCommerce, using native stock management.
- SKU Management: Assign SKUs to specific parts of a customizable product—perfect for post-sale service, replacements, or fulfillment workflows.
- Reduced Asset Overhead: Thanks to the layered image system, you no longer need a separate product image for every possible combination.
- Modular Pricing: You can use the linked product’s price, override it entirely, or apply modifiers (e.g. +10%, x1.2) for even greater flexibility.
Whether you’re selling modular products, custom-built kits, or high-end bespoke items, this feature set gives you full control over visuals, pricing, and product data, all within the familiar WooCommerce ecosystem.
