FAQ

1. What is a 360 product viewer?

   A 360 product viewer takes a set of 360 degree images and merges them together on a web page. This creates an interactive spin which visitors can move left and right to see every angle of the item. (If your 360 photography was also taken on Rows, your 360 spin will move up and down too.)

Boost your sales by showing your products in glorious 360 degree views.

This extension was purpose-built for CubeCart. In just a few minutes, you can show 360 spins on your website. Let your customers see your products from every angel.

The extension uses JavaScript to create the spin effect, with a set of photographs spaced at equal degrees. You can customise the speed, borders, effects, blurring, autostart and other options. The CubeCart 360 degree extension makes it easy to install and customize and if you need help, contact us.

Works on every device, including iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android and all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

To create the 360 degree view of the product, you need a set of 18 or 36 photographs. The photos should be shot on a turntable, with bright lighting against a white background. If you don't have photos, tell us what your products are and we can get quotations for professional 360 product photography for you. Each product typically costs between $40 and $100 for photography (or you can shoot your products yourself).

Credit: thanks to Karl Martini, for the photos of the running shoe. His twin-axis photography technique shows products in rotating vertically and horizontally. It can be an excellent choice for displaying your products instead of the more traditional 360 degree (single row) spin.
