About WalkTheWeb
From the official readme · v3.0.2Description
HTTP3D Inc., WalkTheWeb
About this plugin
Extend your WooCommerce online store into the realm where over 700 million people play online games!
WalkTheWeb 3D Store plugin creates a 3D Store for 3D Internet Metaverse/Multiverse in about 5 minutes. Works like a 3D Game and integrates your products from WooCommerce.
Think of a 3D Store as a 3D Graphical extension of your current online store – traditional website. A 3D Store shows your online store products, short descriptions, prices, and categories with links that open your online store product pages and shopping cart. We do not do any transactions for your online store or shopping cart, only redirect users to your online store; in a new browser tab or iframe based on permissions and settings you choose.
The maintenance of your products, categories, images, shopping cart, and checkout process all stay in WooCommerce. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel! You have a store, we can help you reach more customers by adding a 3D Store!
Your 3D Store is designed to be placed into many 3D Communities consisting of games, entertainment, amusement rides, animations, houses, businesses, and other 3D Stores. You maintain your 3D Store Building in one place and your 3D Store can be added to many 3D Communities. Read more at walktheweb.com.

When you add a 3D Host to the list on this page, the 3D Host will be available as an option when adding a new 3D Shopping Website. You must have Admin or Host access on the WalkTheWeb Host website to connect and add a 3D Website.

Installation
Minimum Requirements for Plugin
- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended)
- WalkTheWeb requires WordPress version 4.7+
- WalkTheWeb requires WooCommerce 3.3.0+. This solely relies on the WooCommerce API, so it is easily tested and confirmed. If you see products and the links work, it is good to go!
- Your WordPress website needs to be running secure – https – have an SSL Cert. The SSL Cert can be terminated at a load balancer. This is used to make secure calls from the 3D Store to retrieve – read only – product information, product lists, product images, category lists, and products by category from WooCommerce. Without it, you can create your 3D Store at walktheweb.com directly, but your products will not show until it is set. We believe this is best practice for 3D Stores, online stores, and working with Application Programming Interface – API – calls to WooCommerce.
- WalkTheWeb plugin requires Internet Access – used to connect to the https://3d.walktheweb.com and https://www.walktheweb.com websites where your 3D Website is created and hosted.
- JavaScript must be turned ON or Enabled in your browser. The WalkTheWeb® plugin uses JavaScript to show and hide various sections of the plugin settings page based on the tabs menu item selected. JavaScript also uses JSON calls to retrieve templates, synchronize with walktheweb.com, and save your settings.
- Allow Popups may be required for some of the test buttons. They open the test pages in additional browser Tabs.
