Features in detail

Assist Shop visitors in Configurations

V²Configurator assists visitors of your site / shop in choosing configuration options. Each option may have lots of information, such as pictures, data sheet, advice, etc, yet the configurator keeps a clean and simple UI thanks to the collapsible presentation.

Part Dependencies

Example: If customer chose Part A1 then part B2 is not available, but if he chooses part A2 than part B2 is available., e.g. you pick the small case and then the big heat sink option is disabled, as it does not fit.

Single click ready made configs

The customer can choose from a list of ready made configs. With a single click he can build a fully working configuration, that he can buy as is, or continue tweaking.

Own and 3rd Party parts

Sometimes a fully working configuration need third party parts. E.g. we sell computer enclosures. But to give the customer the capability to understand total cost of the computer, our ready configs include third party parts, such as motherboard and CPU. Our summary are split into our shopping cart and third party cart.

Full customization without coding

  • Company Name, Logo, Product Names, Data Sheet content, etc... all can be customized for your needs in one Jason file
  • You can use a WYSIWYG Json form editor. No programming skill needed. If you can fill out a form on the internet, you can customize V²Configurator

Customizable Configurator Logic without programming

One purpose of the configurator is to guide the customer to only configure sensible configurations. E.g. do not offer the choice of the big heat sink in case the customer chose the tiny housing (in which the big heat sink does not fit). Logic in a configurator is about limiting choices in a section depending on its parents choices. You can configure these dependencies as a look up table by simply adding this look up table data to your section's JSON data. You do not nee to code JavaScript by hand!
