LET'S DISCUSS
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Brands Trust Us With Their Configurator
Orders go wrong when what the customer designs differs from what production receives, so we close that gap. These are the habits we bring to every custom product configurator.
Order matches shipment
What the customer configures is what you produce.
Live preview
Customers see their choices as they make them.
Real-time pricing
Pricing updates instantly with each option.
Connected to production
Configurations flow into your store and production systems.
2D or 3D
We recommend the right level for your product and budget.
Clear price bands
2D and 3D builds are priced differently and openly.
08Overview
What is a product configurator, and how much does custom development cost?
A configurator combines input (what customers select) with live visualization (updates instantly), lifting conversion and cutting returns versus a simpler customizer. Off-the-shelf apps deploy fast but cap out on complex logic, a custom build scales with your catalog and integrates with ERP and production. We help you decide which fits, then build it. Starts from $4,999 for 2D, scaling to $19,999+ for 3D with live pricing and ERP integration.

Who it's for
Businesses selling configurable or made-to-order products
Customers need to choose options, materials, or components before you can quote or produce.
Stores that have outgrown an off-the-shelf configurator app
Your product logic, pricing rules, or catalog size have outgrown what a plugin can handle.
Businesses wanting fewer returns and support tickets
Customers order the wrong option because they can't see what they're actually getting.
Businesses needing configurator output to flow into production
Your team re-enters order details manually because the configurator doesn't talk to your ERP or production system.
Businesses deciding between build and buy
You're not sure whether a custom build or an existing app makes more sense for your product.
Not a fit for
You want a lighter personalization tool, monogramming, text, or photo upload, not a full option-based configurator. Our Product Customizer Development page covers that.
You're specifically on WooCommerce or Shopify and want a platform-native build. Our WooCommerce and Shopify Product Configurator pages cover those directly.
You need 3D visualization specifically, not just live preview. Our 3D Product Configurator Development page covers that in depth.

What is a product configurator and how does it work?
A tool that lets customers choose options, materials, or components for a product and see a live preview update as they do, with pricing changing to match, before they place an order.
How much does custom product configurator development cost?
Starts from $4,999 for a basic 2D configurator, scaling to $19,999+ for a 3D configurator with live pricing and ERP integration, depending on how complex your product logic is.
How long does it take to build a product configurator?
Typically 8 to 16 weeks depending on complexity, a straightforward 2D build lands on the faster end, 3D visualization with ERP integration takes longer.
Custom build or configurator app: which is better?
An off-the-shelf app deploys faster and costs less upfront but caps out on complex product logic and catalog size. A custom build costs more initially but scales with you and integrates directly with ERP and production. We help you scope which actually fits before committing.
Can it show a live preview as the customer changes options?
Yes, live visualization as options change is what separates a configurator from a simpler customizer, and it's the feature that measurably lifts conversion and cuts returns.
Can pricing update by option, material and quantity?
Yes, we build the pricing engine to reflect option, material, and quantity combinations in real time, so the price customers see always matches what they've actually configured.
Can it connect to my store, ERP and production workflow?
Yes, we integrate configurator output directly with your ecommerce platform, ERP, and production systems so orders flow through without manual re-entry.
Can customers save designs, share links and reorder?
Yes, we can build saved configurations, shareable links, and one-click reorder into the configurator when that fits how your customers actually buy.
Can it output print-ready files for production?
Yes, we build decoration-specific file generation for whatever your production process needs, screen print, embroidery, engraving, or DTF, so files go straight to production without manual prep.
