Getting started

Where do I find the configurator?

Fields are managed centrally in the administration under:

Catalogues > Article Configurator

Below it you will find two menu items:

Menu item	Content
Article Configurator – Own/Additional Fields	Here you create the fields and assign them to products, categories or dynamic product groups.
Dependencies of fields with checkbox	Here you define that fields are only shown after a checkbox has been confirmed (see Dependencies).

How the plugin works in a nutshell

Unlike Shopware custom fields, the fields here are created centrally and then assigned. A single field can therefore apply to one product, to entire categories or to a dynamic product group – you do not have to maintain it on each article individually.

The typical workflow is:

1. Create a field – Create a new field in the configurator, choose the field type and settings (see Creating fields & field types).

2. Assign the field – Define for which products, categories or dynamic product groups the field should appear (see Field assignment & priorities).

3. Optional: price / multiplier – Add a surcharge or factor to options or number fields (see Surcharges & multiplier).

4. Check in the frontend – On the product detail page the fields appear above the "Add to cart" button. The entries are added to the cart and to the order.

The field overview

In the Own/Additional Fields list you see all created fields with name, field type, placeholder and info text. Use Create to add a new field, or click an entry to edit an existing field.

Important: Fields are maintained per language. Using the language switcher at the top right of the detail view you can store name, placeholder, info text and available options per language.

Recommended workflow

1. Consider which entries you need from the customer (e.g. engraving text, dimension, color, file).

2. Create one field with the appropriate field type per entry.

3. Assign the field to the desired level (product, category or dynamic product group).

4. Mark fields as required where needed and define an order.

5. Check the result on the product detail page in the frontend.
