Product configurator implementation
Product configurator implementation lets the client assemble a product their way: choose options, sizes, components and instantly see the price and the look. The order arrives with a ready configuration, without calls and clarifications.
Product configurator implementation — overview

Product configurator implementation is an interactive assembler: a visitor builds a product from options (fronts, sizes, colour, components, materials), sees the price in real time and often a preview, and then orders exactly their configuration. It suits complex products with variants: kitchens and furniture, windows and doors, PCs and electronics, packaging, made-to-order clothing. We account for option dependencies (for example, choosing a material changes the available sizes) and calculate the price as you go. Unlike a calculator (see the “Calculator implementation” service), which outputs a number by a formula, a configurator assembles the product itself: on a kitchen — a calculator says “3 metres cost so much”, while a configurator lets you choose fronts, fittings and colour and shows the price of exactly that build. Sometimes you need both: a calculator for a quick price estimate, a configurator for a precise order with the build. The order arrives with the full configuration — the manager does not need to find out the details by phone. Honestly about preparation: the basis of a configurator is structured product data (all options, combinations, prices, constraints), and collecting it requires your active involvement and usually takes a noticeable part of the project; we help with the format and logic, but you compile the list of options and rules yourselves — without it a configurator cannot be built. Honestly about price and visualization: it depends on the number of options, dependencies and graphics — from 50,000 ₽ for a simple configurator (2D or a preview without complex dependencies); extended logic and a 3D build are noticeably more expensive and longer, often from 150,000–200,000 ₽. For a simple product without variants a configurator is redundant, and we will say so. Picture this: instead of “call us, we will discuss the configuration”, the client assembles the kitchen for their own space, sees the price and places the order — ready and precise. The base price starts from 50,000 ₽.
Problems we solve
- The product is complex, with many variants — the client gets confused and cannot assemble the order themselves.
- Every order is a long negotiation: what to choose, how much it costs, what goes with what.
- Orders come incomplete or with configuration errors — rework and disputes.
- Competitors offer “build your own”, while you only have a call to a manager.
What's included in the Product configurator implementation service
- A configurator for your product: options, sizes, materials, components
- Price in real time as you assemble
- Accounting for option dependencies (what is compatible with what, what changes the price)
- A build preview (image or 2D; 3D — separately and noticeably more expensive)
- An order with the full configuration to the cart, CRM or email
- Responsive, convenient assembly on a phone
- Help with the data format and logic (you prepare the list of options and rules)
- Design for the brand, embedding into a card or page
What you get
- The client assembles the order themselves — fewer negotiations, usually higher conversion (depends on the niche and data)
- Orders are complete and error-free — they arrive with a ready configuration
- The average order value often grows — the client sees and adds options themselves
- You are on par with competitors offering “build your own” — you do not lose clients on this
How the work goes: steps
- You leave a request and describe the product, options and rules
- Together we build the data structure, agree the logic and prices, design the interface
- We implement assembly, price, preview, ordering; test and launch

FAQ
How is a configurator different from a calculator?
A calculator (see the “Calculator implementation” service) outputs a number by a formula — “how much it costs”. A configurator assembles the product itself from options and shows the price of exactly that build — “what exactly”. On a kitchen: a calculator — “3 metres cost so much”; a configurator — choose fronts, fittings, colour and see the price of your kitchen. Sometimes you need both: a calculator for a quick estimate, a configurator for a precise order.
Is 3D visualization needed?
Not necessarily. Often an option choice with a price and a simple preview image is enough — it is reliable and cheaper. A 3D build is impressive but noticeably more expensive (often from 150,000 ₽) and longer, and not needed by everyone. We will advise what actually pays off in your case and will not sell 3D for the sake of 3D.
Who prepares the option data and how much work is it?
You prepare the list of all options, combinations, prices and constraints — it is the basis of the configurator, and usually a noticeable part of the project, not a couple of lines. We help with the format, logic and verification, but without your list of options a configurator cannot be built. In return it then works for you for years.
