Product Configurator

Recommended Posts

Has anyone built or seen a Prestashop module that allows a customer to build a product from scratch and then purchase that product?

Our company sells Pilot Flight Helmets.

A configurator would ask:

What model helmet? (correct model image is shown)

What color? (Color helmet image changes with selection)

What visor? (Visor with the correct visor color is added to the helmet image)

What Helmet Cord? (cord selected is added to the displayed image)

etc.

Unlimited number of questions - we have some products with more than 30 selections.

The built product can then be added to cart with the correct amounts for each selection for purchase.

Thanks!

Rather than choosing an ecommerce platform and then trying to find an app to support your product customization, the smarter path is to first identify the configurator solution that fits your needs — and then pick the platform that supports it best.

Note:  I did not see a real viable option for PrestaShop but you may want to research addons and 3rd party modules yourself.

Platform Comparison: Support for Deep Product Customization

| Platform        | Native Configurator Support | App/Add-on Support for Configurators                         | Best Use Case                                                                                       |
| --------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PrestaShop**  | No                          | Custom modules via marketplace                               | Open-source flexibility, but requires a custom module for unlimited selections, logic, and visuals. |
| **Shopify**     | No                          | Excellent app ecosystem (Kickflip, Mimeeq, CPB, Angle, etc.) | Quick deployment, scalable, powerful configurators with dynamic visuals and conditional logic.      |
| **Wix**         | Limited                     | Kickflip and similar integrations                            | Beginner-friendly setup, simple configurators embedded with ease.                                   |
| **WooCommerce** | No                          | Kickflip or full custom development                          | Best if you have developers and want complete control over functionality.                           |
| **BigCommerce** | Partial                     | Requires custom integration or 3rd-party tools               | Strong enterprise features; configurators usually added via custom builds.                          |
