NP Variation Wizard: Overview and Getting Started

🎨 Variation Wizard — Series 1 of 7

The NP Variation Wizard replaces the standard WooCommerce add-to-cart form with a guided, step-by-step product configurator. Instead of dropdowns and a single button, customers move through a multi-slide wizard where each step represents one product decision — color, style, size, personalization — with the 3D model updating live as they choose.

How to Get There

WordPress Admin
→
NP Variation Wizard

The admin page lists products that have wizard configurations. Select a product to open its wizard builder.

Required Setup First

  1. The product must have NP 3D Viewer enabled and a model assigned.
  2. Set Product Mode → Full Wizard in the NexPoint 3D Configurator metabox on the product edit page.
  3. The product needs WooCommerce attributes created (e.g. pa_color, pa_size) with terms that match your wizard options.
