Free to start — no separate account to create
SeeOnWall for WooCommerce is a free plugin. Connecting it provisions a free SeeOnWall account automatically — there's no signup form to fill in and no API key to copy anywhere. WooCommerce itself needs to already be installed and active on your site first, since SeeOnWall is an extension for it rather than a standalone plugin. If you ever want higher usage limits or extra features, paid plans are billed by SeeOnWall directly from the settings page below — never through WooCommerce.
Install the SeeOnWall plugin
Like any WordPress plugin, this is installed from inside your own admin area — no external website to visit.
- In your WordPress admin sidebar, go to “Plugins” → “Add Plugin”.
- Type “SeeOnWall” into the “Search Plugins” box in the top-right.
- On the “SeeOnWall for WooCommerce” result, click “Install Now”, then click the same button again once it changes to “Activate”.
- If WooCommerce isn't installed and active yet, the plugin card shows an “Additional plugins are required” notice, as in the screenshot below — install and activate WooCommerce first (also from “Plugins” → “Add Plugin”), then come back and activate SeeOnWall.
Search for “SeeOnWall” under Plugins → Add Plugin, then install and activate it. Open the SeeOnWall settings page
Activating the plugin adds a new page to your WooCommerce menu — this is where everything else in this guide happens.
- In the left-hand admin menu, click “WooCommerce”.
- In the submenu that opens, click “SeeOnWall” — it sits between “Coupons” and “Reports”.
“SeeOnWall” appears in the WooCommerce submenu once the plugin is active. Connect your store to SeeOnWall
The very first time you open this page, you'll see a welcome screen instead of any settings — that's expected, since nothing is connected yet.
- Click the “Connect to SeeOnWall” button.
- There's nothing to type in. Behind the scenes, the plugin proves it controls your site's domain, and a free SeeOnWall account is created for you automatically — no password to set, no confirmation email to click.
- This takes a few seconds. When it's done, the page reloads on its own and shows your connected settings, covered in the next step.
- What's shared to make this work: your store's URL and the email address of the WordPress admin who clicks “Connect”, so the account can be created and you can be reached if something needs your attention. Nothing about your shoppers is ever sent — you can read the full privacy policy linked at the bottom of this screen.
Nothing to sign up for — clicking “Connect to SeeOnWall” creates your account automatically. Check your plan
This panel sits at the top of the settings page and always reflects your current plan.
- “Your plan” confirms you're on the Free plan and gives you an “Open dashboard” link for billing, invoices and account details, plus an “Upgrade plan” button if you ever need more — both open without leaving your WordPress admin.
“Your plan” shows your current tier plus quick links to billing and upgrades. Watch your usage
Just below your plan, five live counters track how much of the service you're using.
- “Current usage” shows five live counters: preview sessions, photo uploads, poster views, poster views this month, and downloads & shares. All reset every hour except the monthly poster-view total, which resets at the start of each month.
“Current usage” tracks preview sessions, photo uploads, poster views (hourly and monthly), and downloads & shares. Decide which products get the button
This section controls which products in your catalogue show the “See on wall” button at all.
- “Show the button on” decides which products get the button. Left on its default, “All products with dimensions set”, every product with both a width and a height filled in (see a later step) shows the button automatically — nothing else to configure. Switching it to “Only products with the preview enabled” instead requires opting in each product individually, useful if you only want the button on part of your catalogue.
“Product visibility” controls which products show the button. Style the storefront button
Everything about how the button looks and reads to shoppers lives in this section.
- “Position on the product page” chooses where the button sits: before the “Add to cart” button, after it, or after the whole product description.
- The background, text and border colour pickers, plus “Corner radius (px)”, control the button's look. Leave any of them blank (click “Reset” to clear one you've changed) to keep SeeOnWall's default styling, which is already designed to sit comfortably next to most themes' buttons.
- The “Button text” fields let you type the exact words shoppers see on the button, separately for English, Polski, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano and Português — each shopper sees the button in their own storefront language. Leave a field blank and it falls back to “See on wall”.
“Storefront button” controls the button's position, colours, and per-language text. Choose the preview image
This last section decides which photo SeeOnWall uses when it draws the poster on a shopper's wall.
- “Use for the poster preview” decides which photo SeeOnWall shows on the wall. By default it uses the product's first gallery image; if that photo isn't a clean, flat shot of the poster itself — say, it's a framed mockup or a styled room photo — set a custom field on that product to override it, or switch this setting to require the custom field on every product.
- Whenever you change any of these settings, remember to scroll down and click “Save changes” — nothing is saved automatically.
“Poster image” decides which photo is used for the wall preview. Give each poster a width and height
The button only ever appears on products that have physical dimensions set — this is also exactly what tells SeeOnWall what size to draw the poster at on the shopper's wall.
- Open a product for editing in WordPress and find the “Product data” box further down the page.
- Click its “Shipping” tab, then fill in “Width” and “Height” using your store's configured dimension unit (cm, in, etc.). This is the same field WooCommerce already uses for shipping calculations — if you fill it in for that reason, the button appears with no extra work on your part.
- Click “Update” to save the product. Repeat this for every poster you want the button to appear on — a product left without both a width and a height never shows the button, no matter what's set on the SeeOnWall settings page.
See the button live and try it yourself
With a product connected and its dimensions filled in, the button is now visible to every shopper who visits that product page.
- Open the product on your actual storefront (not the admin editor) — the “See on wall” button appears near the “Add to cart” button, styled with whichever colours you chose.
- Click it yourself to see the shopper's experience: they can take or upload a photo of their own wall, or instantly pick a stock room scene instead, and preview the poster at its true physical size either way.
- If the button isn't showing up on a product, the two most common reasons are: the product is missing a width or height (see the previous step), or “Product visibility” on the SeeOnWall settings page is set to “Only products with the preview enabled” and this product hasn't opted in.
The “See on wall” button appears automatically once a product has its dimensions set.
