Elevate your WooCommerce store today with AR for WooCommerce and stay ahead of the competition by embracing the future of eCommerce with immersive AR experiences.
AR for WooCommerce supports GLB, GLTF, USDZ, and Reality files for 3D model viewing. These are the most compatible formats for AR and 3D display across all devices.
Yes! The plugin uses the model-viewer scripts which support most iOS and Android devices. Viewing of the models in 3D is done directly in the browser and launches the native Android WebXR and iOS Quick Look apps for AR viewing. For optimum performance, it requires your site to have an SSL certificate (https://).
AR Insights is our comprehensive analytics system that provides real-time tracking of your AR product performance. It includes a dashboard widget showing key metrics at a glance, and a dedicated Insights page with in-depth analytics including product views, device breakdowns (iOS/Android/Desktop), top-performing products, historical trends, and engagement metrics. You can also integrate with Google Analytics to forward AR events to GA4 or a dataLayer for advanced eCommerce tracking.
AR Display AI is our revolutionary feature that allows you to generate 3D models from product photos using artificial intelligence. Simply upload a product photo, and our AI will analyze it and create a complete 3D model ready for AR display. This feature uses a credit-based system and supports customizable texture resolution and foreground ratio settings.
The Default Poster Image system allows you to set a global default poster image in your AR settings. When a product doesn’t have a custom poster image set, it automatically falls back to this default image, ensuring consistent and professional presentation across all your AR products.
Absolutely! AR for WooCommerce integrates seamlessly with popular page builders including:
– Gutenberg – Native blocks and shortcodes
– Elementor – Custom widgets and elements
– WPBakery – Shortcode integration
– Divi – Shortcode support
– Any page builder that supports shortcodes
You can add AR models to products using several methods:
– Product Page Integration: Models automatically display on product pages
– Shortcode: [ardisplay id=X] where X is your model ID
– Gutenberg Block: Use the AR Display block in the editor
– Elementor Widget: Drag and drop the AR widget
– PHP Code: Use the do_shortcode() function
– Widget Areas: Add to any widget-enabled area
The User Upload feature allows customers to upload their own 3D models or images and view them instantly in AR. Images are automatically converted to 3D models, making it perfect for custom product visualization, user-generated content, or interactive product showcases.
The AR Gallery feature converts your product featured images into 3D models that can be displayed on walls in AR. Use the [ar-gallery] shortcode, or pass options such as [ar-gallery image_url="https://example.com/artwork.jpg" ratio="2:3" orientation="landscape" scale="2" hide="size"] to use a specific image URL, lock one of the supported gallery ratios, choose landscape/portrait/square orientation, set a model scale multiplier, or hide the Gallery Size Selector. The deprecated size attribute is treated as scale for backward compatibility. Perfect for creating virtual showrooms or showcasing product collections.
AR for WooCommerce fully supports product variations:
– Individual Models: Assign different 3D models to each variation
– Dynamic Display: Models automatically switch when customers select different variations
– Shortcode Support: Use [ardisplay id=X] to display variation-specific models
– API Integration: Manage variation models through the REST API
The free version allows for 1 model with basic features. The premium subscription unlocks unlimited models, AI generation, user uploads, advanced settings, and all premium features. Learn more about the premium subscription.

Common solutions for AR display issues:
– Ensure your site uses HTTPS
– Check that your device supports AR (iOS 11+ or Android 8+)
– Verify the 3D model file is valid and not corrupted
– Clear browser cache and cookies
– Check that the model file size isn’t too large
– Ensure proper file permissions on your server
– Verify WooCommerce is properly configured
3D Viewing: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (all modern versions)
AR Features:
– iOS: Safari (Quick Look)
– Android: Chrome (WebXR), Samsung Internet
– Desktop: Limited AR support (shows QR codes for mobile)
You can manage multiple product models using:
– Thumbnail Navigation: Display multiple models in one viewer

– Multiple IDs: [ardisplay id="1,2,3"] for specific products
– Product Lists: Use the [armodels] shortcode for product listings
– WooCommerce Integration: Models automatically display on product pages
Yes! We implement several security measures:
– Encrypted model URLs to prevent direct downloads from within the browser (model files once passed to native AR viewers like iOS Quick Look can still be saved and shared. Unfortunately there is no option available from iOS to prevent this. For the best protection, export simplified (low-poly) versions of your models, bake textures into a single map, and embed subtle watermarks or identifying metadata so any saved copies are less editable or traceable to your original work.)
– Nonce verification for all AJAX requests
– User permission checks for API access
– Secure file handling and validation
– Regular security updates and patches
– WooCommerce integration security
AR can significantly improve your eCommerce performance:
– Better Product Understanding: Customers can see products in 3D and AR
– Reduced Returns: Customers know exactly what they’re buying
– Increased Engagement: Interactive AR experiences keep customers on your site
– Mobile Optimization: AR works great on mobile devices where most shopping happens
– Competitive Advantage: Stand out from competitors with cutting-edge technology
Yes! AR for WooCommerce is perfect for virtual try-outs:
