Visual Product Designer Review: Upsides and Downsides

The Pros

Previously we had product designing plugins that involved selecting of options in drop-down menus and filling forms with instructions. There was no way to visualize the final product. These missing features, especially preview, are given to you by Visual Product Customizer. Besides visually customizing any type of product, the glitch-free plugin also allows you to individually design any part of the item:

A specific customizer for a product can be created instead of going with the one-size-fits-all approach:

The robust plugin will also run on various devices since it is fully responsive. The loading times are fast as the Visual Product Designer natively integrates into WooCommerce, a free WordPress eCommerce add-on. This powerful plugin does not require coding skills, thanks to its frontend. The WPML compatible Visual Product Customizer’s language can be easily translated too. With each customization, the tool updates the price and the preview. Price various designs individually through Visual Product Designer, as you can see the black color had its own price.

The latest advanced option of Visual Product Designer is applying conditional rules which will be helpful if you want a certain thing to unlock only after a condition is met. There is no limit on adding conditional rules:

One of the best Pros is that Visual Product Designer does have a Free version as well so before purchasing you can give it a test ride.

You can also take a look at its detailed manual and documentation. Customers consider documentation a must-have for plugins.

The Cons

The user interface is not as friendly as expected. As a newcomer, I found it difficult to configure the add-on. The options are a bit puzzling but after spending some time with the plugin and playing with the options, you get a general idea. The “Customizer Preview” drop-down option does not work as well. The naming convention is not impressive and it should have been more elaborative.

In addition to the lack of simplicity, one other flaw found in Visual Product Designer is the lack of custom font uploading option.

Final Verdict

The plugin seems confusing at first and is a little buggy. But apart from that the Visual Product Designer gives freedom of customization to consumers and makes shopping for custom items a memorable experience if configured properly. With the addition of Visual Product Customizer for WordPress, the shoppers can be creative with t-shirts, bicycles, shoes, glasses and any product you can think of. After reviewing the plugin thoroughly we can conclude that Visual Product Designer somehow manages to innovate product customization and fulfill it’s “Build Your Own” slogan.
