3D Bits App Demo Store
Link 3D models to product forms
3D Bits app for Shopify allows you to expose products as rich 3D experiences to your customers. Depending on the complexity of your product page, we offer separate theme app extension blocks to help you achieve the desired result.
Who can use it?
Merchants
We have tried to make the app simple to use for anyone and create tutorials for variety of situations, but depending on the specific 3D product, it may require special parametric 3D model scripting knowledge. We believe that merchants can do many things themselves, when using simple 3D scans or ready made static gltf assets. We have built VIEWER and PREVIEW extensions for that purpose. If merchants do not feel comfortable coding parametric designs or working with JSON configurations, we recommend merchants to hire a developer to help them out with the setup.
In case you are interested we can also provide a service to create the 3D models and scripts for you, but that is offered as a service. Please contact info@bitbybit.dev, provide us with details about your product and we will do our best to get back to you with a quote.
Our existing users
Our existing users will now have the opportunity to sell their products on Shopify or help other merchants in building 3D models for them. We believe that it is a great opportunity for our existing user base to monetise on their skills and reach a wider audience via this E-Commerce platform.
Shopify developers
Because 3D Bits app can be integrated into any theme that supports app extension blocks, Shopify developers can use it to create custom 3D experiences for their clients. We believe that this is a great opportunity for Shopify developers to offer a new service to their clients and increase their revenue. We also believe that this is a great opportunity for Shopify developers to learn more about 3D programming on our platform.
Important
3D Bits app only provides 3D Canvas element with rich set of visualsiation and CAD algorithms, but it does not provide Graphical User Interface (GUI) system or backend services for your product customization. Merchants often use various third party apps for customization of their products, so we decided to keep our app simple and just adapt to any product form on the page via theme app extension block.
Theme App Extension Blocks
There are three theme app extension blocks in 3D Bits app, namely BITBYBIT RUNNER, BITBYBIT VIEWER and BITBYBIT PREVIEW. Each of these blocks serve different purpose and, depending on your use case may be the best option. Runner offer the most powerful system, where you need to create scripts on bitbybit.dev platform, export those to javascript and embed them in special product metafields. Runner allows you to link script variables to Shopify product variants and line items by input names. Viewer offers simplified, but limited functionality to load various 3D files into one scene and define some simple properties, such as position, rotation, scale, adjust camera. Preview block allows you to link public bitbybit.dev projects to your shopify product page. You only need to copy preview link and paste it into special metafield and you're done.
