Free to start — no separate account to create
seeonwall.com for WooCommerce is a free plugin, and connecting it provisions a free seeonwall.com account automatically: no signup form, no API key to copy anywhere. WooCommerce itself has to be installed and active first, since seeonwall.com extends it rather than replacing it. Paid plans, if you ever want higher limits, are billed by seeonwall.com directly from the settings page — never through WooCommerce.
Install and activate the plugin
Everything happens inside your own WordPress admin. There is no external site to visit and nothing to download by hand.
View the plugin on WordPress.org ↗
- Find it in the plugin directory
- In the admin sidebar, go to Plugins → Add Plugin, then type
seeonwall.cominto the Search Plugins box at the top right. The result you want is called “seeonwall.com – Wall Art Preview for WooCommerce”. - Install, then activate
- Click Install Now on the plugin card, then click the same button again once it turns into Activate. A seeonwall.com entry appears in the WooCommerce menu straight away.
- If WooCommerce isn’t active yet
- The plugin card shows an “Additional plugins are required” notice. Install and activate WooCommerce first, from the same Plugins → Add Plugin screen, then come back and activate seeonwall.com.
Connect your store
The first time you open WooCommerce → seeonwall.com you get a welcome screen instead of settings. Nothing is connected yet, and there is nothing for you to type in.
- One click, no signup
- Press Connect to seeonwall.com. The plugin proves it controls your site’s domain and a free account is provisioned for you — no password to set, no confirmation email to click. A few seconds later the page reloads on its own with your settings on it.
- Already have an account?
- Use the “Already have a seeonwall.com account? Connect this store to it” link instead. A tab opens on seeonwall.com where you sign in and approve the store, and this page finishes the connection by itself.
- What gets shared
- Your store’s URL and the email address of the admin who clicks Connect, so the account can be created and you can be reached about it. Product images and sizes are sent to render the previews. Nothing about your shoppers is sent, unless you turn on order analytics: then, for shoppers who agree to statistics, each add-to-cart, order and refund of a poster with the button is reported as the poster, the quantity and the preview step. No name, address or price.
Settings tab
Once the store is connected, WooCommerce → seeonwall.com opens on three tabs: Settings, Button and Products. Settings covers your plan, your usage, and the rules that decide which products get a preview and what size and image it uses. Order analytics is switched on there too.
- Your plan
- Shows the tier you are on. Open dashboard takes you to billing, invoices and account details on seeonwall.com; Upgrade plan is there for when you need more headroom.
- Current usage
- Five live counters: preview sessions, photo uploads, poster views, poster views this month, and downloads & shares. They all reset every hour, except the monthly poster-view total.
- Product visibility
- A new store starts with “Only products with the preview enabled”: a product shows the button only after you switch it on — with Turn on on the Products tab, Turn the wall preview on under Bulk actions, or Always show on the product’s own seeonwall.com tab. Choose “All products where a size can be found” to put the button on every product seeonwall.com can size at once. A store that was connected before keeps its setting.
- Poster size
- The plugin takes the size of each product from the first of these that it has: the list under Product data → seeonwall.com → Print sizes, then the variation attribute values that name a size, such as
30x40 cm,18x24inorA4, then the field on the product page where shoppers choose a size. The WooCommerce Shipping dimensions are not read, because they often measure the box. The plugin finds the size field itself. Fill in Size field (optional) with a CSS selector only when it finds the wrong field or none. - Poster image
- By default the product’s first image is used for the preview, and any product can override that in its own panel. Choose “Only an image chosen per product” to ignore the gallery entirely and preview only images you picked by hand.
- Storefront check
- Preview storefront opens your shop, so you can confirm the button really does appear on a product page, in the right place and the right colours.
- Order analytics
- Off by default. Turn it on to count how often shoppers add a poster to the cart, order it and get a refund, grouped by how far they got in the preview. Your consent banner must support the WP Consent API: only shoppers who agree to statistics are counted. The counts are on the analytics page of your dashboard.
Button tab
Where the “See on your wall” button sits, how it looks, and what it says. Everything on this tab applies to the whole shop.
- Position on the product page
- Every spot in the list is on the standard product template — before or after Add to cart, after the description, and so on. For anywhere else, choose “Place it myself with a shortcode” and put
[seeonwall_button]where you want it. Off a product page, name the product:[seeonwall_button id="123"]. - Button style
- “Match my Add to cart button” copies your theme button’s font, size, corners and spacing, so the button fits your shop without you looking up a single value. “Default button style” uses seeonwall.com’s own instead.
- Button shape
- Solid, Outline, Icon and text, or Icon only. Each shape takes the colour settings it can use: the shapes with no fill ignore the background colour, and with Icon only the button text stays as the tooltip and the screen-reader label.
- Colours and corners
- Background, text and border colour pickers, plus a corner radius in pixels. Leave a field blank to keep the default look.
- Button text — all languages
- Shoppers see the button in the language of the page they are on. Set the exact wording per language here — one field each — and leave any of them empty to keep the built-in wording for that language.
- Framing
- Previews show the bare print. Set a default frame width only if your price includes a frame; shoppers can add or remove one themselves either way. Frames your shop actually sells are set up in the seeonwall.com dashboard, and the preview then shows those in place of the generic colours.
- Fast wall preview
- Once a shopper has set up their wall on one product page, a small icon on every other eligible product card opens that print on the same wall in one tap — no second photo. Tick the listings that get the icon (related products, the shop and category pages, search results, product grids on other pages) and pick the corner of the card your theme leaves free. Off by default, and it needs a paid plan; every preview opened this way is one poster view from the same allowance as the full preview.
Products tab
Your whole catalogue, and for each product whether shoppers get the button on it. This is the fastest way to see what is live and what is not.
- Status at a glance
- The counts across the top split the catalogue into Live, Hidden, Not enabled and No image. Click one to filter down to just those products, or search the catalogue by name.
- What each row tells you
- The print size, poster image and frame that product will preview with, plus its status and the reason behind it. Where the fast wall preview is switched on, a “Ready for fast preview” column says which products also open from a product card.
- Edit a product from its row
- Click a product’s thumbnail or its poster image to change the image and the artwork area, or its print size to change the sizes and the mat. Each opens in a window with Cancel and Save, and a click outside the window closes it only while nothing is changed. Click the frame to see which frame the preview opens in, with a link to your frames in the seeonwall.com dashboard.
- Switch the button on or off
- The Button column on every row is a dropdown: Follow the store setting, Always show, or Never show. It saves as soon as you change it. Edit the image, sizes or artwork area from the row itself, as described above.
Bulk actions
Set print sizes, or switch the wall preview on and off, across many products at once. Every run is reviewed before anything is written.
- Choosing what to act on
- Search by name, filter by status, or filter by a saved size — the size box takes the same spellings as everywhere else, so
a4finds the products stored as A4 and the ones stored as 21x29.7 alike. Tick the products you want, up to 100 at a time. - What you can change
- Print dimensions offers Add, Replace and Remove, all of which write only the seeonwall.com list — WooCommerce shipping dimensions are never touched. Wall preview turns the button on or off for the selected products, or hands them back to the store setting. The Wall preview column shows what each product is set to now.
Dimension presets
A named set of sizes you apply again and again — the A-series you sell, or the three sizes every print comes in.
- Writing a size
- One size per row. A plain pair like
30x40is read in your store’s dimension unit. A size can also state its own unit or name a format —12x16in,430x510mm,a4— and each row shows the centimetres it works out to. A named format stays named: shoppers see an **A4** size button, with 21 × 29.7 cm beside it. - Creating and editing
- Presets are stored in your WordPress site, not in your seeonwall.com account, and are never sent anywhere. New preset builds one from scratch; on the Products tab, a product that already has the sizes you want offers Create preset to copy them.
Reviewing before you apply
Nothing is written until you confirm. Review changes shows the before and after for every selected product.
- Reading the review
- Each line reads current → result, and says whether that product will change or is already as you want it. The counts at the top total them. The review is the same operation the Apply button runs, asked not to save, so what you see is what you get. Change the selection or the action and the review clears, so nothing unreviewed can be applied.
Product data → seeonwall.com
Editing a product adds a seeonwall.com tab to the Product data box, next to General, Inventory and Shipping. Everything a single product can override lives there, and it all saves with the product when you press Update.
- Live on your storefront
- The banner at the top says whether shoppers currently see the button on this product, and names the reason when they do not.
- Test this product
- The See on wall button beside the banner is the real one, exactly as shoppers get it. It uses the saved settings, so update the product after changing anything here before you test again.
- What the storefront checks
- Four rows — store connected, button, poster image and print size — each showing what the storefront will actually use. A row that needs attention links straight to the screen that fixes it.
- Button on this product
- Follow the store setting, Always show, or Never show. It is the same choice as the Products tab offers, with the store’s current rule spelled out next to it.
Print sizes
The size, or sizes, shoppers see the print at. With several, the preview offers them a size picker.
- Where the size comes from
- The first of these that the product has: the list on this tab, then the sizes that its variation attributes name, then the size field on the product page. The WooCommerce Shipping dimensions are not used.
- Listing sizes by hand
- List sizes on this tab when the product has no variations named by size, for example a print sold in three sizes through an add-on. A list here is for the preview only; shipping is unaffected.
- Variable products
- A variable product carries sizes on its variations when an attribute value names the size, such as
30x40 cmorA4. A list on this tab replaces them for the preview; leave it empty to keep using the variations.
Poster image
Wall previews look best with a clean, flat shot of the print. When a product’s photos are mockups — the print on a background, or already in a frame — point the preview at a better image here.
- Choose an image
- Pick any image from the media library, or paste an image URL. “Use the product image instead” hands the preview back to the gallery.
- Pin the product image
- Pinning keeps the exact image the product uses today, even if the gallery changes later — and it is what lets you mark the artwork inside that image.
- By URL
- Useful when the print lives on a CDN outside the media library. The URL has to be publicly reachable for the preview to load it.
Artwork area
Only needed for a mockup. Mark the rectangle the print itself occupies, so the wall preview shows the print at its true size rather than the whole photo.
- The box is suggested for you
- Opening the editor trims a plain background as a starting point. On a framed mockup that usually finds the frame’s outer edge rather than the print inside it. Detect again re-runs the suggestion, and “Use the whole image” clears the box.
- Drag it into place
- Move the box or pull its handles; arrow keys nudge it. The readout under the image gives the exact percentages it is saved as, so the marking survives any later resize of the image.
- Proportions are checked
- The box is compared against the size the product declares. If the two disagree badly enough that shoppers would see the artwork stretched, the plugin says so and offers to match the print size for you.
Frame
If your shop sells prints in frames, the preview can open in the right one.
- Set your frames up once
- Frames are defined in the seeonwall.com dashboard — name, width and colour. Both the Button tab and the product panel link straight to them.
- Match them by attribute
- Name a product attribute value after one of your frames and the preview opens in it. On a variable product the preview follows the shopper’s choice of variation.
- Or set one default
- No frames set up, or a product without the attribute? The default frame width and colour from the Button tab apply instead. Shoppers can always add or remove a frame themselves.
Check it on your shop
Open a product page the way a shopper would and confirm the button is there, in the right place and the right colours.
- What to look for
- Pick a product where the button is switched on and that has a size: a Print sizes list, variations named by size, or a size field on its page. The button should sit where the Button tab puts it, and pressing it should open the preview at that product’s real size.
- Changing many products at once
- Quick edit, bulk edit and a product CSV import all carry the same per-product fields — SeeOnWall preview, image, artwork area and sizes — so a whole catalogue can be set without opening every product.
No button on a product?
The Products tab names the reason for every product in your catalogue. These are the three you will see, and one case that has no reason.
- Live, but no button
- The product has no Print sizes list and no variations named by size, so the button waits for the size field on the product page. When the page has no such field, or the plugin cannot read it, no button shows. List the sizes on the product’s seeonwall.com tab, or name the field under Size field (optional) on the Settings tab.
- No image
- There is nothing to preview. Add a product image, or choose one on the product’s seeonwall.com tab.
- Hidden
- The button is set to Never show on that product. Change it from the Products tab or from the product’s own panel.
- Not enabled
- Your store shows the button only where it is switched on, and it is not switched on here. Either switch it on, or change Product visibility on the Settings tab.
