🔀 Setup & Reference
Product Mode is the single setting that determines whether a product uses the standard WooCommerce checkout flow or the NP Variation Wizard guided configurator. Set it in the NexPoint 3D Configurator metabox on the product edit page.

How to Switch Modes
- Open the product in WP Admin
- Scroll to NexPoint 3D Configurator metabox
- Change Product Mode to Simple 3D or Full Wizard
- Save the product
⚠️ Switching to Full Wizard only has an effect if you’ve created a wizard configuration for that product in the NP Variation Wizard admin. Without a configuration, Full Wizard mode shows an empty panel.
