BoxBuilder for WooCommerce

Description

BoxBuilder for WooCommerce is a powerful, easy-to-use plugin that lets your customers build custom gift boxes and product bundles directly on your WooCommerce store.

Perfect for candy shops, chocolate stores, gift hamper businesses, flower shops, bakeries, and any store that offers mix-and-match products — BoxBuilder gives your customers an interactive experience to create personalized gift boxes.

How It Works

1. Create a Box Product — Go to WooCommerce Products, enable BoxBuilder on any product, and configure the box capacity and pricing
2. Choose Available Products — Select which products or categories customers can pick from
3. Customers Build Their Box — An interactive builder lets customers browse products by category, search, and add items to their box
4. Add to Cart & Checkout — The completed box goes into the WooCommerce cart with full contents visible through checkout, order emails, and admin
