Basic Setup

Before we start creating configurable products, we need to setup some basic settings first.

Let’s start by creating the page where the products will be configured and reference that page in the plugin settings.

This page is extremely important, because without it, the designer cannot be generated, even if you choose to use the short code display option.

• Click on menu Pages > Add New
• Enter your page title and then click on publish.
• Then click on the menu Product Builder > Settings to access plugin settings.
• Set the page you’ve created in the first step in the Configuration Page drop-down and save the changes.

Please ensure that the selected page is blank and has no content. To use a page that will have or already has content, please use the short code option – you can find the instructions below.
