About AR Button
From the official readme · v1.0.8Description
AR Button adds a 3D product viewer and augmented reality preview to any WordPress site. Your customers tap the button, point their phone camera at a wall or floor, and see the product at true scale in their own space — directly in the mobile browser, no app download required.
Free to start: the Starter plan includes 100 AR previews per month, no credit card required.
From flat print products to configurable 3D objects: posters, framed art, canvas prints, wallpaper, tiles, flooring, carpets, wall decals, doors, fences, garden houses, carports, packaging, signage, rollups, business cards, flyers and more. Use it on WooCommerce product pages, Elementor layouts, Gutenberg pages, or any WordPress page with a shortcode.
AR Product Preview & Configurator
For simple products (posters, prints, rollups), AR Button works as a true-to-scale preview — customers see the exact product on their wall before ordering. For configurable products (tiles, doors, fences, garden houses, carports), enable the built-in AR controls and it becomes a full product configurator — your customers can change colors, frame styles, materials, dimensions and finishes interactively, and see every change live in augmented reality.
Why AR Button?
- Reduce returns — customers see the real size and how it looks in their room before ordering
- Increase conversions — interactive AR previews keep visitors engaged and build buying confidence
- No app needed — runs 100% in the mobile browser (iOS Safari, Android Chrome)
- No file upload — images are loaded via URL, nothing is uploaded to any server
- 100% GDPR-compliant — fully client-side, no personal data collected or processed
- One-click WooCommerce — enable auto-embed on all product pages with a single checkbox
How It Works
- Install the plugin and enter your free API key
- Choose where the AR button appears (after Add to Cart, in the product summary, or anywhere via shortcode)
- The plugin automatically uses your product image — no manual setup per product
- Customers tap the button, point their camera, and see the product at real scale on their wall
On desktop, a QR code is shown so customers can instantly open the AR preview on their phone.
Four Ways to Place the Button
- WooCommerce auto-embed — one checkbox, every product page gets an AR button automatically
- Gutenberg block — drag and drop the AR Button block into any page or post
- Elementor widget — full AR Button widget with all options in the Elementor editor
- Shortcode —
[arbutton]works anywhere, with full attribute control
Built for Developers
AR Button is a native Web Component (<ar-button>). Every product attribute — size, color, frame style, texture, finish — is controlled via DOM attributes and can be changed dynamically in real time. Six WordPress filters let you extend templates, image sources, and loader URLs without touching plugin code.
Product Templates
Pre-configured product types for one-click setup:
- Poster — flat prints, photos, art prints
- Framed image — framed art with customizable frame color, material, finish, passepartout and glass
- Door — interior and exterior doors with placement pane
- Rollup — banner stands and rollup displays
- Business card — front and back preview
- Flyer / Folder — brochures and folders
- Packaging — product boxes and packaging
Automatic Image Sources
No need to set images manually. The plugin resolves the product image automatically from:
- WooCommerce main product image
- WooCommerce gallery (first or last image)
- WordPress featured image
- Custom field (post meta)
- ACF image field
Full Styling Control
Match the AR button to your shop design. All colors (primary, hover, active), border radius, border width, and text size are configurable from the admin panel — or override per button via shortcode attributes.
Who Is This For?
- Print shops & online printers — posters, canvas prints, photo products, business cards, flyers
- Art galleries & frame shops — framed art, canvas, limited editions
- Home & interior retailers — wallpaper, tiles, flooring, carpets, wall decals
- Outdoor & construction — doors, garden fences, garden houses, carports, signage
- Trade show & display — rollups, banners, booth graphics, exhibition displays
- Packaging & merchandise — product boxes, custom merch, promotional items
- Any e-commerce shop — WooCommerce, or any WordPress site with product images
AR Button works on any WordPress site. WooCommerce integration is built in but optional. The AR Button Web Component also works with Shopify, Shopware, Magento, Webflow and plain HTML (outside of this plugin).
Links
External services
This plugin relies on the AR Button service (provided by the plugin author) to display augmented reality product previews. Without these external resources, the AR button cannot load or run.
CDN (cdn.ar-button.com)
The plugin loads the AR Button JavaScript loaders from https://cdn.ar-button.com whenever an AR Button is rendered on the front end (or previewed in the admin settings). These scripts are required to register the <ar-button> / <ar-button-controls> web components and start the AR experience.
When the scripts are requested, the visitor’s browser performs a normal HTTPS request to the CDN (standard request metadata such as IP address and User-Agent may be processed by the CDN for delivery and security). No WordPress site content or customer account data is uploaded by the plugin for this request.

API (api.ar-button.com)
After the loaders are loaded, the AR Button scripts connect to https://api.ar-button.com to validate the configured Public Key and to provide AR preview functionality (including product image URLs and product configuration attributes such as dimensions, colors, and template settings that are set on the button).
This happens when a visitor views a page that contains an AR Button and interacts with / opens the AR preview. The Public Key configured in the plugin settings is included so the service can identify the site account and apply plan limits.
