– Automatic button display via a configurable WooCommerce hook
– Shortcode: [art_in_ar_buttons] for manual placement
– GLB and USDZ URLs via meta keys
– Optional QR-code fallback for desktop/unsupported devices
– Lightweight and privacy-friendly: no tracking, no external ads.

Privacy

This plugin is designed with privacy in mind.

  1. Google Scene Viewer
    • Service: An Android system component for viewing 3D models in AR.
    • Usage: Used to display GLB models on Android devices.
    • Data sent: When an Android user clicks the “View on your wall” button, the URL of the GLB model is sent to Google’s Scene Viewer.
    • Terms & Privacy: Google Terms of Service / Google Privacy Policy

The qr-code-styling library is bundled within the plugin and is loaded locally from your own server, so no IP addresses are shared with a third-party CDN for this purpose.

Optionally, you can enable a QR display (Settings Art In AR). When enabled, a QR code is generated using the qr-code-styling library. If you host your own GLB/USDZ assets on an external domain, this is your own responsibility and subject to your privacy policy.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via the WordPress dashboard.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Configure the meta keys and texts via Settings Art In AR.
    • Default meta keys: art_in_ar_glb_url and art_in_ar_usdz_url.
  4. Add the GLB/USDZ URLs to your product (via ACF or post meta).
  5. Optional: use the [art_in_ar_buttons] shortcode to place the buttons manually.
The 3D model fails to load (“Failed to fetch”)

If you host your GLB files on a different domain or a CDN, ensure that your server sends the correct CORS headers. Specifically, the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header must be present. The plugin automatically adds crossorigin="anonymous" when an external URL is detected to support this.

Where do I store the GLB/USDZ URLs?

Use the standard post meta fields art_in_ar_glb_url and/or art_in_ar_usdz_url. If ACF is installed, you can also use ACF fields with those keys.

Does this work without ACF?

Yes. The plugin tries get_field() first and falls back to get_post_meta().

Can I change the button position?

Yes, via Settings Art In AR you can adjust the WooCommerce hook or disable automatic display and use the shortcode.

Does the plugin load external scripts or track users?

Yes, it utilizes Google Scene Viewer for AR on Android. No tracking is performed by the plugin itself. The QR-code styling library is bundled locally for better privacy. See the Privacy section for more details.
