Navigate to **All Boxes** or go to **Products Edit** any product and enable BoxBuilder in the product data panel. 6. Configure the box capacity, allowed products, and pricing model. 7.

Yes, WooCommerce 7.0 or higher must be installed and activated. ### How do I create a box product? Go to **Products Edit** on any WooCommerce product, click the **BoxBuilder** tab in the product data panel, and toggle **Enable BoxBuilder**. Configure the capacity, pricing, and available products. You can also manage boxes from **BoxBuilder All Boxes** in the admin menu. ### What are Custom Items? Custom Items (Pro) let you define text-based products with prices directly in the box configuration — no WooCommerce products needed. This is perfect for flavors, options, or variations. You organize them into groups (e.g., “Dark Chocolate”, “ Milk Chocolate”) and each item has a name and price. ### What pricing models are available? The free version supports **Fixed Price** (one price for the whole box regardless of items selected) and **Per-Item Pricing** (total is the sum of selected items). The Pro version adds **Hybrid Pricing** (base box price plus per-item prices). ### Can I control which products appear in the builder? Yes. The free version offers three options: **All Products** (every product in your store), **By Category** (select specific categories), or **Specific Products** ( hand-pick individual products). The Pro version adds **Custom Items** (define your own text-based items with prices — no WooCommerce products needed). ### Can customers add a gift message? Yes. An optional gift message text area is shown below the product picker. It includes a character counter (configurable limit, default 500 characters). The message is saved with the order and shown in confirmation emails, admin order view, and customer order history. ### Does the builder work in list and grid layouts? Yes. You can choose between **Grid** layout (product cards in a responsive grid) or **List** layout (products shown in rows with name, category, price, and add button). Configure this in BoxBuilder Settings General. ### Where does the builder appear on the product page? You can configure the builder position in **BoxBuilder Settings General Position on Product Page**. Options include Before Product Tabs, After Product Details Block( for FSE/block themes), and Shortcode Only (manual placement). You can also set the summary panel to appear on the right side or bottom. ### What happens when a product goes out of stock? Out-of-stock products are automatically hidden from the builder so customers only see available products. ### Can I customize the text labels? Yes. The **Labels** tab in Settings lets you customize all user-facing text — button labels, headings, messages, and more — without editing code. ### Is it mobile responsive? Yes. BoxBuilder is fully responsive and also uses CSS container queries, so it automatically adapts when placed in narrow areas like sidebars or small page builder columns. ### Does it work with my theme? BoxBuilder works with any properly coded WooCommerce theme. It has been tested with Storefront, Astra, GeneratePress, Flatsome, OceanWP, Divi, and Avada. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. Use the `[boxbuilder id="123"]` shortcode or the native Gutenberg block. The shortcode works with Elementor, Divi Builder, WPBakery, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, and Oxygen Builder. ### Can I customize colors and appearance? Yes. The **Appearance** tab in Settings lets you set brand colors. BoxBuilder also uses CSS custom properties (`--bb-primary`, `--bb-secondary`, `--bb-border`, etc.) that you can override in your theme’s CSS for full control. ### Does it create custom database tables? No. BoxBuilder uses standard WordPress and WooCommerce data storage (post meta, order item meta, options). This ensures full compatibility with backup plugins, migration tools, and the WooCommerce ecosystem. ### Where do box contents appear after purchase? Box contents are displayed in the WooCommerce cart, checkout order review, order confirmation emails, the customer’s My Account order history, and the admin order detail screen. ### Is it translation ready? Yes. All user-facing strings are translatable. A .pot file is included for use with translation tools like Loco Translate or WPML. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BoxBuilder for WooCommerce” is open source software.
