Smartlink Apps | Creating a Product Selector

Introduction

Several of the standard Kornit X apps support the product selector tab which give the end-user the ability to select from a range of products.

Using this method you can arrange your products into specific categories within Product Manager and then allow the end-user to choose between those categories and the individual products contained within them all from inside the app itself.

Steps

1. Create your 2d or 3d products
2. Add any necessary e-commerce data
3. Organise your products into specific categories
4. Select the product you wish to initially load and then edit this product in Product Manager (note that this product should exist inside the same category specified for the product selector)
5. Use the Smartlink Builder builder page of the product to build your product selector as follows:
     5.1 Select your app
          Choose the standard app which will compliment the type of products you wish to make available.
  Note that product selector is only currently supported in the following apps: ACP, Garment, Mobile

      5.2 Select your company (GUID)
 
     5.3 Select your category or categories from the "Advanced" menu as shown below

     5.5 Select a gallery or galleries (if applicable to the product(s))

Note that multiple categories are separated by a comma in the URL if you wish to do this step manually.
6. With each option added from the steps above you will be taken to the "Your Smartlink" option which will display a scannable QR code and the Smartlink URL at the bottom of the link builder page is appended accordingly.  Once you have finalised all of your options, copy the link and paste into a browser tab to test it or add it to the back-end of your website or platform as necessary.

As 2d and 3d products utilise different rendering methods on-screen we generally recommend categorising them accordingly so that the user experience for the end-user is more consistent.

If for some reason you wish to combine 2d and 3d products in the same product selector, it is necessary to change the renderer to &r=multi from either &r=2d-canvas or &r=webgl (depending on whether the product used to generate the URL in link builder was 2d or 3d).
