Blenda Art: Preview Artwork on Your Customer's Wall

وەسف

Blenda connects your WooCommerce store to your gallery on blenda.art and adds a “View on your wall” button to product pages. When a customer taps it on their phone, the camera opens and the artwork appears on their wall at its real-world size.

How it works

  1. Sign up at blenda.art and paste your API key into the plugin settings. Your gallery is detected automatically.
  2. Push your products to Blenda with one click (or upload artwork on blenda.art and link products with the visual picker. No slug typing.)
  3. Linked products show the wall preview button automatically. Links are by stable artwork ID, so renaming the artwork in Blenda never breaks them.

Features

  • One-field connect: paste your API key and your gallery is detected automatically.
  • Size variations: the preview follows the selected variation, using its own width/height or a size parsed from the variation name (like “50×70” or standard paper sizes A0-A6).
  • Push products to Blenda in bulk, or link them one by one with a visual picker.
  • Daily auto-sync verifies all products against your Blenda gallery.
  • Manual “Verify links” button on the settings page.
  • Per-product status badge in the WooCommerce products list.
  • Per-product metabox with status and a one-click “Check Now” verify.
  • Four button styles (default dark, outline, minimal, match-theme).
  • Configurable button placement (before/after add-to-cart, after meta, after summary).
  • WooCommerce HPOS compatible.
  • No app download required for buyers. The preview runs in the mobile browser.

Privacy

The plugin sends product slugs to the Blenda API to check whether each product has a matching artwork. No customer data is transmitted.

External Services

This plugin connects to two external services:

Blenda Art API (blenda.art)
Used to fetch your artwork catalog and verify product links. The plugin sends your API key to authenticate; your gallery is resolved from the key. This service is provided by Blenda Art. See their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

دامەزراندن

  1. Upload the blenda-ar-woocommerce folder to /wp-content/plugins/ (or install via the plugin directory).
  2. Activate the plugin via the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings Blenda Art and paste an API key from your Blenda dashboard (Settings Developer API Keys). Your gallery is detected automatically.
  4. Click Verify links to match your existing products.

پهد

Do I need a Blenda account?

Yes. Sign up free at blenda.art and upload your artworks there.

Where do I find my API key?

In your Blenda dashboard under Settings Developer API Keys. Paste it into the plugin settings; your gallery is detected automatically from the key.

Does the wall preview button require an app download?

No. It opens directly in the buyer’s mobile browser using the device camera.

Why doesn’t the button show up on my product?

The plugin only shows the wall preview button on products that have been verified against the Blenda API. Check the Blenda metabox on the product edit page. It shows whether the product is verified, not found, or errored.

Can I link a product to a different artwork?

Yes. Open the product and click Link Blenda artwork in the Blenda metabox to pick any artwork from your gallery. Picker links are never overwritten by automatic sync.

Does the preview follow my size variations?

Yes. On variable products, the preview uses the selected variation’s own width and height (Product data Variations). If a variation has no dimensions, the plugin reads the size from the variation name, like “50×70” or standard paper sizes (A0-A6).

ڕووداوتۆمارگەریی گۆڕین

1.9.0

  • One-field connect – paste your API key and your gallery is detected automatically. The subdomain field is gone; the key also proves you own the gallery you connect.
  • Variation sizes – on variable products the wall preview now follows the selected variation: it reads the variation’s own width/height (Product data Variations), or falls back to parsing the size out of the variation name (“50×70”, or standard paper sizes A0-A6). The displayed dimensions and the QR modal update too.

1.8.1

  • Copy: the button and admin labels now say “wall preview” / “View on your wall” instead of “AR” – same feature, clearer wording for shoppers.
  • Fixed the API-key field hint to show the correct blenda_live_… key format.

1.8.0

  • Artwork image picker – when a product has multiple images, a thumbnail strip appears in the metabox. Click the clean artwork shot to use it for the wall preview instead of the featured image (which may be a lifestyle or scene photo). Selection is respected by both single-push and bulk sync.

1.7.0

  • Faster bulk sync – “Sync All Products” now uses a bulk API endpoint, sending up to 250 products per request instead of one at a time. Per-item errors are still written back to each product so failures are visible in the admin.

1.6.0

  • Auto-sync on save – products in selected categories are pushed to Blenda automatically when saved in WooCommerce. Choose which categories trigger auto-sync in the plugin settings.
  • Push products to Blenda – new bulk action button on the settings page to push all eligible products in one click.
  • Delete on trash – trashing or deleting a WooCommerce product removes the corresponding artwork from Blenda automatically.
  • Manual picker links are never overwritten by auto-sync.

1.5.0

  • Desktop QR modal – on desktop browsers, clicking “View on your wall” now shows an inline QR code modal instead of opening a new tab. Customers scan the QR with their phone to open the wall preview. Mobile clicks still go directly to the preview.
  • Base URL moved to Advanced – the “Blenda Base URL” field is now collapsed under an Advanced section so it doesn’t clutter the main settings for regular users.

1.4.0

  • API key required – the gallery list now requires authentication, so a competitor with just your subdomain can’t enumerate your full catalog. Generate a key at Blenda Settings API Keys.
  • Picker fix – picking an artwork now works reliably (the previous version used nested forms which are not allowed in HTML and broke clicks in some browsers).
  • Renamed “Gallery Slug” to “Subdomain” in the UI for clarity (e.g. studio-rosa.blenda.art enter studio-rosa).

1.3.0

  • Visual artwork picker – link products to Blenda artworks by clicking a thumbnail instead of typing slugs. No more slug-mismatch errors.
  • Stable ID linking – products are now linked to artworks by their permanent ID, so renaming an artwork in Blenda no longer breaks the link.
  • Auto-migration – existing slug-based links are migrated automatically on first sync.
  • Orphan detection – if a linked artwork is deleted from Blenda, the product is flagged as orphaned with a one-click way to relink or unlink.
  • Removed the typed Artwork Slug field from the metabox (now handled invisibly via the picker).

1.2.0

  • Distinguish “Gallery not found” vs “Artwork not found” vs “Artwork still processing” – the metabox and status column now show exactly what failed.
  • Added “Test Gallery Connection” button on the settings page – verifies the gallery independently of any product.
  • Added “Resolve API ” debug link in each product’s metabox – opens the raw API URL in a new tab.
  • Added an unmatched-products list on the settings page after sync – shows the WC slugs that didn’t match anything in Blenda, with one-click test links.

1.1.0

  • Added daily cron-based bulk sync.
  • Added per-product status indicator in the products list.
  • Added “Check Now” action in the metabox.
  • WooCommerce HPOS compatibility declared.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
