Wall Buzz is a plugin for WooCommerce to help artists sell more of their work.
A product photo rarely does a good job of showing shoppers how big a 16x20 piece of art is. Wall Buzz can. It "hangs" your art on a photo of a room at its approximate size, in the sizes you sell. Wall Buzz is convenient for your shoppers. They simply browse the artwork and sizes until they find one they like, then add it to the cart from the same screen. The status bar displays the cost while they browse your work so they're always informed.
Sizes are close, not exact, since they depend on carefully marking the room for sizing. They're close enough to show the difference among 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 sizes, for example.
Everything runs in your WooCommerce install. You don't need any outside services or accounts. Wall Buzz doesn't limit how many pieces your catalog has either. It works in your shopper's browser, so server requirements are minimal.
Features
- Configure rooms for your shoppers to stage your artwork in. Use your photos, or any you have the rights to use for that purpose.
- Only the sizes you sell are available. That's determined by the product's variations, which Wall Buzz draws to scale in the room.
- You can also sell originals and other single pieces which have no variations.
- Wall Buzz hides sold-out pieces from the list of artwork available for preview.
- Because artwork can be sold in different ratios, you can upload a different image for any size. This keeps the preview your shopper sees more accurate.
- Wall Buzz follows your WooCommerce measurement unit settings (inches or centimeters).
- Add to cart from the preview so your shopper doesn't have to backtrack to your product page.
- Built for computers and phones, with a built-in help system that labels every control.
- Shoppers can download a picture of the wall labeled with your site URL and details about the artwork. It's easy for your shoppers to show others if they need to talk it over before buying.
- All interface text is customizable. Wall Buzz allows you to change any sentence your shoppers read.
- Can be operated using only the keyboard for people who have difficulty using a mouse.
- Translation template included.

Wall Buzz Gold
Wall Buzz Gold is an optional paid add-on.
- You can allow shoppers to "hang" your art on their own photo of a wall.
- Shoppers can lay out gallery walls of up to 20 pieces. Arrangement controls help align and distribute the artwork. Shoppers can then add everything to the cart in one click. The status bar keeps your shoppers informed of how much the whole gallery wall will cost.
- You can allow signed-in customers to save rooms to come back to later.
- Wall Buzz adds a link on every product page that opens the preview page with that piece already hanging.
- Customize main interface colors, checked for contrast.
