详情介绍:
Free for your first 5 artworks — no account, no credit card, no time limit. Install the plugin, click once, and your store shows artwork in augmented reality. No sign-up, nothing to copy. Paid plans only start when your catalogue outgrows the free plan.
Sell more art without more marketing. ArtInAR lets art galleries and individual artists show their work at true scale on the customer's own wall, right before they buy. While competitors show static photos, you offer a real, in-room experience — removing doubt about dimensions and atmosphere, and reducing returns.
ArtInAR adds a "View in your room" button to your WooCommerce product pages. On a phone the button opens the AR preview page, which guides the visitor and then launches native Augmented Reality (AR Quick Look on iOS, Scene Viewer on Android) — straight in the mobile browser, with no app to install. On desktop an optional QR code lets visitors scan and open the same preview on their phone.
Built specifically for art: your 2D image is automatically turned into a realistic 3D canvas with proper depth and shadow (not a generic furniture/product viewer), shown at 100% scale accuracy.
In short, ArtInAR is augmented reality for WooCommerce, made for art — a mobile 3D product viewer and "view in your room" AR try-before-you-buy experience for paintings, prints and photography, running straight in the browser with no app.
How it works
- Upload your artwork image.
- ArtInAR automatically creates a realistic 3D canvas — no 3D knowledge required.
- The plugin adds a "View in your room" button to the matching WooCommerce product.
- The customer taps the button on mobile (or scans the QR code on desktop).
- The camera opens and the artwork appears at actual scale on their wall.
- Increase sales — customers see the work at true size in their own interior, so they buy with confidence.
- Fewer returns — less hesitation about dimensions, visual impact and spatial fit.
- No technical barrier — automatic 2D-to-3D conversion; no 3D modelling skills needed.
- Made for art — realistic canvases with depth and shadow, designed for paintings.
- Browser-based — works directly in mobile browsers; nothing for customers to install.
- Seamless WooCommerce integration — fits naturally into your existing storefront. The preview page (interstitial) is hosted by the ArtInAR back-end; the plugin links to it via a per-product preview URL stored in post meta. This keeps the on-boarding and 3D experience in one place and works the same whether a visitor arrives from the product page or by scanning a QR code.
- "View in your room" button, auto-displayed via a configurable WooCommerce hook
- Shortcode:
[art_in_ar_buttons]for manual placement, anywhere on your site - Match your shop: button style (theme, filled or outlined), accent colour, width and an optional AR icon — site-wide or per placement
- Pick the product categories that hold your artwork; those products are converted to 3D automatically as soon as your store is connected
- Per-product AR preview URL via a meta key (supports variable products per variation)
- Optional QR-code fallback for desktop/unsupported devices
- See each product's AR status right inside WordPress — a column in the Products list and an indicator in the product editor — without logging in to the dashboard
- Lightweight and privacy-friendly: no tracking, no external ads on the product page
- Base language: English (
artinar). - Included locales: Dutch (Netherlands
nl_NL), Dutch (Belgiumnl_BE), German (de_DE), French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), Italian (it_IT), Portuguese (pt_PT), Portuguese (Brazilpt_BR), Japanese (ja), Polish (pl_PL), Swedish (sv_SE), Danish (da_DK), Russian (ru_RU). - Community translations are managed via translate.wordpress.org. When this plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, translations are delivered automatically.
- WooCommerce
- WordPress 5.8+
- PHP 7.4+
安装:
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or install via the WordPress dashboard. - Activate the plugin. The setup wizard opens automatically. Tick the product categories that hold your artwork, then connect: one click links your store on the free plan and starts converting those products to 3D. No account, no email address and no payment needed.
- Configure the meta key and texts via Settings → Art In AR.
- Default preview URL meta key:
art_in_ar_preview_url. - Store the AR preview URL on your product in that meta key (typically pushed automatically by your AR back-end).
- Optional: use the
[art_in_ar_buttons]shortcode to place the button manually.

常见问题:
Do I need an account?
No. Activate the plugin, click once in the setup wizard and your store is connected — no sign-up, no email address and no keys to copy. Your first 5 artworks are converted and shown in AR straight away. An email address is optional and only needed if you want to sign in to the ArtInAR dashboard from another device, upload artwork by hand, or move to a paid plan; you can add it at any time and nothing you already have is affected.
Is ArtInAR free?
Yes, for up to 5 artworks. The free plan has no end date and needs no credit card, and the AR previews it generates stay live on your product pages. The plugin itself is free and open source (GPL). Larger catalogues need a paid plan on the ArtInAR service, because generating and hosting the 3D models happens there; see https://artinar.app/ for the current plans.
Does ArtInAR work with WooCommerce?
Yes. ArtInAR is built for WooCommerce and adds the AR "View in your room" button to your product pages automatically, or wherever you place the [art_in_ar_buttons] shortcode. Both simple and variable products are supported (AR per variation).
Do my customers need to install an app?
No. The augmented reality experience runs in the mobile browser using native AR — AR Quick Look on iOS and Scene Viewer on Android. Customers simply tap "View in your room" and the artwork appears on their wall at true scale.
Which of my products are converted to 3D?
The ones in the product categories you tick in the setup wizard. Conversion starts by itself the moment you connect — you do not have to upload anything by hand. Tick nothing and every product in your store is picked up. Because the free plan covers 5 artworks, choosing the category that holds your work makes sure those five go to the right products.
How do I change which products get AR?
Open Settings → Art In AR → Run setup wizard and adjust the categories on the Connect step. Saving sends the new selection to ArtInAR and starts converting straight away; nothing that was already converted is lost.
Where do I store the AR preview URL?
Use the standard post meta field art_in_ar_preview_url (configurable via Settings → Art In AR). This is usually pushed automatically by your AR back-end. The value is read with get_post_meta(), so it is also compatible with an ACF field that uses the same key.
Nothing shows on the product page
The button/QR only appears when the product (or, for variable products, the selected variation) has a value in the preview URL meta key. Make sure your AR back-end has pushed art_in_ar_preview_url for that product.
Can I change the button position?
Yes, via Settings → Art In AR you can adjust the WooCommerce hook or disable automatic display and use the shortcode.
Can I change how the button looks?
Yes. Under Settings → Art In AR → Appearance you choose the button style (follow your theme, filled, or outlined), an accent colour, the width, and whether an AR icon is shown. The accent colour is used for the button and for the QR code. Every one of these can be overridden for a single placement with a shortcode attribute.
Which shortcode attributes are available?
[art_in_ar_buttons] accepts:
product_id— which product to show, so you can place the button on a page, post or template instead of only on the product page. Defaults to the current product.text— the button label for this placement.style—theme,filledoroutline.color— accent colour as a hex code, for example#4f39f6.width—fullorauto.icon—yesorno, to show the AR icon on the button.qr—yesorno, to show the QR code on desktop.qr_titleandqr_note— the texts around the QR code.fallback— the text shown when neither AR nor the QR code is available.class— extra CSS classes on the wrapper.
[art_in_ar_buttons product_id="123" style="filled" color="#4f39f6" width="auto"]
Anything you leave out follows your site-wide settings, so several placements can each look different on the same page.
Can I customise the output in code?
Yes. The plugin exposes five filters: artinar_should_display (render this placement at all), artinar_preview_url (the AR URL for a product), artinar_button_text (the label, per product), artinar_settings (all resolved settings for one placement) and artinar_markup (the final HTML).
Does the plugin load external scripts or track users?
No tracking is performed by the plugin itself. The native AR experience (AR Quick Look / Scene Viewer) and the 3D models are served by the AR preview page you link to, not by this plugin. The QR-code styling library is bundled locally for better privacy. See the Privacy section for more details.
更新日志:
1.14
- The plugin has a new name: "AR for WooCommerce – Augmented Reality & 3D Product Viewer for Art (ArtInAR)". It is the same plugin by the same author — nothing about your setup, settings or AR previews changes. The old name said "2D to 3D Art", which described the technique rather than what the plugin is, so shop owners looking for augmented reality for WooCommerce never found it. Inside WordPress you will still find it under Settings → Art In AR.
- Tested with WordPress 7.0.3.
- The setup wizard now picks up where you left off. Reopening it dropped you back at step one, even on a store that was set up months ago. It resumes at the step you reached, and the step bar is clickable so you can go back.
- The final step tells you what is actually happening. It used to guess: two hours after connecting it flipped to "no products have AR yet" and told you to upload artwork by hand, even while conversion was still queued. It now shows real progress ("3 of 12 done"), and says so plainly when something is stuck, when a product has no usable image, or when your keys were refused.
- Fixed: the heading said "You're all set" while the line right below it warned that nothing had AR yet. The heading now matches the actual state.
- Fixed: "Check again" showed the same cached numbers for up to twelve hours. It now fetches fresh status.
- Every step explains what it does and why. The difference between connecting your store and choosing which products get AR was easy to miss — they are one step, and the wizard now says so.
- Products without a SKU are no longer skipped. A SKU is optional in WooCommerce and art shops often leave it empty, which silently kept whole catalogues out of AR.
- The free plan now covers 5 artworks instead of 10.
- At the end of setup, a short note on what a paid plan adds — with a "Keep it simple" link for anyone who would rather not see it again.
- All new and changed texts are translated into the 13 bundled languages.
- The AR button now matches your shop. New appearance settings under Settings → Art In AR: pick a button style (follow your theme, filled, or outlined), a width, an accent colour, and whether the AR icon shows. Leave the colour empty and the button keeps using your theme's own colours.
- Every one of those settings can be overridden per placement with a shortcode attribute, so a button in a sidebar can look different from the one on the product page.
- The
[art_in_ar_buttons]shortcode now takes a product, so you can place the AR button on pages, posts and templates instead of only on the product page itself. - Choose which products get AR. The setup wizard now asks which product categories to convert. Only those are sent to ArtInAR — handy because the free plan covers 10 artworks, and this makes sure they go to the work you actually want to show in AR. Tick nothing to convert everything.
- While conversion is running the wizard says so, instead of showing an empty result: the AR button appears on each product as its model becomes ready.
- All 36 new texts are translated into the 13 bundled languages.
- No account needed to get started. The setup wizard used to ask for an email address before it would do anything, which is exactly where most people stopped. One click now connects your store, converts your first artworks and puts the AR button live. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to copy.
- An email address is now optional and asked for later — once you have seen AR working on your own shop — because that is all it is for: signing in to the dashboard from elsewhere, uploading artwork by hand, or moving to a paid plan. Adding it later keeps everything you already have.
- Translated all the new wizard texts into the 13 bundled languages.
- Fixed: the button text, fallback text and QR texts now follow your site language. They were saved in English when the plugin was activated — before the plugin's own translations were loaded — so shops in the other twelve bundled languages saw English texts even though the translation was there. Already have those texts saved? Clear the field under Settings → Art In AR to get the translated default back.
- The setup wizard and the settings screen now show the default text as a greyed-out placeholder instead of filling it in. That keeps the text following your site language, so it stays correct if you ever switch languages.
- Clearer about pricing: the description and a new FAQ entry now state up front that the free plan covers 10 artworks, has no end date and needs no credit card.
- Added a one-time, dismissible review request that appears only after your store is connected and already has an AR-ready product — a gentle nudge at a good moment, never incentivised.
- Sharpened the description and FAQ for discoverability, and translated the new texts into all 13 bundled locales.
- You can now see each product's AR status directly in WordPress: a new "AR" column in the Products list and a status indicator in the product editor (AR ready / processing / queued / failed / no AR yet), so you no longer need to open the ArtInAR dashboard to check where a product stands.
- Translated the new admin texts into all 13 bundled locales.
- Added six new bundled translations: Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), Japanese (ja), Polish (pl_PL), Swedish (sv_SE), Danish (da_DK) and Russian (ru_RU). ArtInAR now ships in 13 locales.
- Confirmed compatibility with the latest WordPress (7.0.2) and updated the WooCommerce compatibility to the current 10.9 release line.
- The desktop QR code is now enabled by default, so visitors on desktop can immediately scan to view artwork in AR on their phone. You can still turn it off under Settings → Art In AR.
- When connecting your store, your WordPress site title is now sent as the shop name in ArtInAR.
- The setup wizard now shows which ArtInAR plan your store is on and how many of its products are in use.
- Added a notice for when your plan is full. ArtInAR only converts as many products as your plan holds; until now the artwork that didn't fit was skipped without WordPress telling you. The notice reports how many were left out and links straight to the plan picker.
- Tested for compatibility up to WordPress 7.0.2.
- Added a setup wizard that opens on activation: start a free demo and connect your store to ArtInAR (one-click, email only — it provisions the account and creates the WooCommerce REST key automatically), choose how the button is displayed, and see a final readiness check.
- Added a "Setup" link on the Plugins screen and a "Run setup wizard" button on the settings page.
- Added translations for French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), Italian (it_IT) and Portuguese (pt_PT), and refreshed the Dutch and German translations. Bundled translations are now loaded for self-hosted installs.
- The button and QR code now link to a hosted AR preview page (interstitial) via a per-product
art_in_ar_preview_urlmeta key, instead of launching native AR directly. On-boarding and the 3D/AR experience now live on that page. - Settings: replaced the GLB/USDZ meta keys with a single "Preview URL meta key".
- Removed the in-plugin native AR launch and QR hash auto-open (now handled by the preview page).
- QR fallback redesign to boost AR engagement: larger, more scannable QR code, a product image teaser with an AR badge, a benefit-led default title, and an attention-drawing pulse.
- Fixes for WooCommerce
- Add support for WooCommerce variable products: AR/3D models can now be set per variation.
- Refactor model URL retrieval into a reusable helper method.
