ArtPlacer

Why ArtPlacer?

Intuitive and fast, the ArtPlacer Widget allows your visitors to visualize how artworks look on walls as soon as they arrive to your website! ArtPlacer handles perspective, depth, and scale to create fabulous previews of art pieces in place.

How does the app work?

ArtPlacer allows you to show the relative scale of artworks in relation to other objects or humans, and how the pieces work together, on a wall. Using ArtPlacer you can create three types of Widget buttons: Client Room, Sample Room and Augmented Reality.

• The ArtPlacer Client Room Widget shows how an artwork will come together in a space. It helps collectors to visualize exactly what the original artwork would look like in their actual room.

• The ArtPlacer AR Widget superimposes artworks on surrounding walls in real time. This mobile feature is functional in iOS and Android devices and connects with the ArtPlacer Mobile App.

• The ArtPlacer Sample Room Widget helps to visualize artworks outside the gallery or studio environment and out into the world. Choose from a variety of 1000+ pre-set spaces to showcase your art at scale!

Set up Instructions

1. Log in or start 7-day free trial.

2. Step out of Shopify for a moment. In a new tab, log into your ArtPlacer Dashboard.

3. Click on Widget, at the top. Next, click on Create New Widget.

4. You now need to create your widget. On this guide we'll creating a Sample Room widget using one of our Library Spaces, so choose Sample Room. (The process is very similar for both Client Room widget and AR widget).

5. Type the name of your preferred space. You can find all offered spaces on the Library Spaces tab.

6. Select "Dynamic" under the Artwork section. Adjust the Settings and Style of your buttons.

7. Under the Code section, select HTML.

8. Now, copy the code that was generated. You’ll need it soon.

9. Head back to your Shopify Dashboard.

10. Click on Start Creating Widgets.

11. Name your widget to easily identify the button (this will not be the button text). Set your preferred size unit. Make sure you select the one that matches the units in your website. Under Artwork, select Dynamic. If you don’t want the active artwork to be displayed automatically in your widget (and want the user to select one from the artworks’ slider instead), select Not Specified.

12. Paste the code you’ve copied from your ArtPlacer Dashboard.

13. Choose where you’d like your widget placed, and whether you’d like to exclude the widget from a collection(s) (e.g.: If you also sell pottery, you don’t want the widget to be applied to your pottery products.)

14. Click on Save Widget.

15. That’s it! You’re all set.
