Configuration at sales channel level

Documentation: XcalibuR configurator plugin for Shopware 6

  1. In the Shopware backend, open the menu item →
  2. Select the desired sales channel via the drop-down menu Sales Channel Switch. (You can also make global settings via the "All sales channels" option).
  3. Now fill in the associated settings fields for this sales channel or these sales channels:

General settings

Deactivate for this sales channel in the storefront.

You can use this slider to quickly and effectively deactivate the XcalibuR configurator for the respective sales channel.
All products are then treated as normal products, and settings such as Unconfigured not purchasableno longer haveany effect.

Load configuration on detail page in the background.

You can use this slider to control whether the XcalibuR configurator opens with the associated configuration in the background as soon as someone visits the product detail page. This function can currently only be used if the configurator starts with the 2D view for all articles!

Delivery time for configuration products

The delivery time selected here is used for orders of configuration products. It is also possible to set other delivery times for individual items, but this requires an initial individual adjustment via program code. Possible delivery times can be managed under Settings → Shop → Delivery times.

Product category

The category configured with XcalibuR for the individual sales channels, which is created by default when the plugin is installed, is selected here. However, you can also enter a different category here.

Select image for configured products

Here you can select a display image to be used for configuration items. The following options are available:

Use placeholder image
Use 2D image
  • When a configuration is placed in the shopping cart, the 2D sketch of the planning is added to the newly generated item as an item image.
  • A backend user must be specified here underUser for images to add the images to the media library.
Use 3D image (2D image if 3D is not available.)
  • When a configuration is added to the shopping cart, a 3D image is added to the newly generated item. Alternatively, the 2D sketch is used as the item image.
  • If 3D images are to be used, the corresponding rendering IDs must be entered in the parameters for the configurator!
  • A backend user must be specified here under User for images to add the images to the media library.
Use 2D and 3D image
  • If 3D images are to be used, the corresponding rendering IDs must be entered in the parameters for the configurator!
  • A backend user must be specified here under User for images for adding images to the media library.
Use own image
  • For this, the image must be an svg graphic and must be specified under Image path.

Add images of components to products

The image selected under Image for configured articles is assigned to a generated product as the article image. If you set this value to Yes, the images of the individual components are also added to the item.

Tip: As these images are generated at runtime, this selection can mean that adding a configuration item to the shopping cart or watch list takes significantly longer. In this case, please select No.

Configurator link in the product image slider

If this option is activated, an additional image is added to the image slider on the product detail page to encourage the customer to configure the product individually. You can either use the supplied image or your own image. Clicking on the image in the frontend opens the XclaibuR configurator with the configuration saved for the article.

Help video settings

Show "How it works" button

In the configurator, you have the option of integrating video tutorials, which can be displayed via the "How it works" button in the configurator. The source of these videos is set to YouTube by default, but other sources are also possible (Vimeo, CDN, etc.). Please feel free to contact us!

If the controller is active, an additional button is displayed in the open configurator under "Advice" (). You must also fill in the URL field for the "How it works" function .

URL of the "How it works" function

Enter the URL for your "How to" function in this field. By default, this is: "https://meine-domain.com/xcalibur/configurator/videotutorial".

Help video configurations

All saved videos are listed here, which can be removed again using the icon.

New help video configuration

You can integrate a new video here. The following entries must be made:

  • Video ID: This is the YouTube ID by default
  • Video title: The title entered here is SEO-relevant, i.e. it is only displayed in the source code and not in the store frontend
  • Video headline: This headline is displayed below the displayed video
  • Video text: This text is also displayed below the displayed video, below the video headline
