How To Create A Virtual Tour In Easy Steps- A Complete Guide [2025]

Ever wished you could teleport? Well, creating a virtual tour is the next best thing—minus the sci-fi complications and potential teleportation mishaps.

Imagine giving people a full, immersive tour of your business, property, or event space without them having to leave their couch (or even change out of their pajamas).

With a virtual tour, your audience can explore every nook and cranny as if they were there in person—without you having to clean up first.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know: from the basics of virtual reality to capturing stunning 360° images and building a tour that wows.

Once you complete this guide, you won’t rely on anyone to create virtual tours.

You’ll know how to create a virtual tour completly on your own, at the lowest cost.

Dus laten we beginnen.

First, Let’s Clear The Confusion!

If you gather clear knowledge of the basic terms it will be easier for you to understand the process of virtual tour creation.

Now, most people get confused between Virtual Reality and Virtual Tours!

Here’s a clear definition :

Wat is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality is a computerized environment or projection that you can experience visually.

You can observe, listen to, and interact with this environment.

What Is Virtual Reality

Now, there are many types of VR technologies. The 5 most popular ones are listed below :

Soorten virtuele realiteit

Niet-immersieve virtuele realiteit
Niet-immersieve virtuele realiteit verwijst naar een geautomatiseerde virtuele ervaring waarbij u sommige karakters of activiteiten binnen de software kunt controleren, maar de omgeving niet direct met u communiceert. Voorbeeld: Simulatiespelletjes zoals God van de oorlog.
Fully immersive virtual reality
A fully immersive virtual technology ensures that you have a realistic experience within the virtual world. This is an expensive form of virtual reality which involves helmets, gloves and body connectors with sense detectors, to transfer your every physical moments within the virtual world. Example: Virtual shooting game zone.
Semi-immersieve virtuele realiteit
Een semi-impulsieve virtuele realiteit kan de vorm aannemen van een 3D-ruimte of een virtuele omgeving die u zelf kunt verplaatsen via een computer met behulp van een muis en toetsenbord, of op mobiele apparaten door aan te raken en te swipen om zich te verplaatsen. Je hebt geen enkel karakter in handen, je hebt het uitzicht op je eigen manier in handen. Sommige VR-headsets zijn semi-immersief. De meeste semi-intensieve virtuele omgevingen ondersteunen de Gyroscoop. Voorbeeld: Een virtuele tour.
Verhoogde virtuele realiteit
Augmented Reality is wanneer een bepaalde entiteit of apparaat in de werkelijkheid aanwezig lijkt te zijn, maar dat eigenlijk niet is. In plaats van u in een virtuele wereld te plaatsen, wordt een virtuele entiteit via een willekeurig apparaat in de echte wereld geplaatst. Voorbeeld: Het spel Pokemon Go geeft Pokemons weer via je telefoon.
Samenwerkende virtuele realiteit
Dit is een vorm van virtuele wereld waarbij verschillende mensen van verschillende locaties met elkaar in contact kunnen komen binnen een virtuele omgeving, meestal in de vorm van 3D of geprojecteerde karakters. Mensen kunnen met elkaar communiceren door middel van microfoons, headsets en chatten. Voorbeeld: Spellen zoals PUBG (Spelers Onbekende Slagveld)

Virtual Reality And Businesses

Over the years, virtual reality has increased its influence in tons of businesses to create better interactions with their customers.

By the year 2025, the total size of the global Virtual Reality market will be valued at more than 22 billion US dollars.

Businesses such as Real Estate, Hotels & Resorts, Restaurants, Universities, Schools & Colleges, Super shops, Antique shops, Art Galleries, Showrooms, Museums, etc can engage with more prospects using virtual tours.

Read along to learn about how businesses can benefit from virtual tours (your business might be one of them).

Along with VR technology many VR devices such as VR Headsets, Virtual Game Spaces, Virtual Simulation, and training devices, and many more devices are being created day by day. Similarly, in the tech industry, companies specializing in igaming software development can leverage virtual tours to showcase their cutting-edge solutions and engage potential clients effectively.

IDtechEx estimates that, in 2023, the revenue from only the VR headset sales will be more than $9 billion.

Since you have an idea about virtual reality and its different formats, I’ll move to our main objective today – virtual tours.

Wat is een virtuele tour?

A virtual tour is a form of semi-immersive (one of the types of virtual reality)VR technology that allows you to experience a certain location remotely.

Basically, represents a real place in a virtual platform. You will feel like as if you are there.

Virtual Tour Experience

Usually, a virtual tour is created by transforming a 360 seamless panoramic image into a realistic Equirectangular 3D space.

You will be able to rotate the screen 360 degrees in all directions. Plus you will be able to move from one panoramic image to another.

There are other forms of panorama images used to create virtual tours such as Cube Map, Little Planet, or Fish Eye. But we will be discussing the most efficient one, the Equirectangular virtual tour.

Recentelijk zijn de virtuele tours enorm populair geworden in verschillende bedrijven vanwege het hoge verlovingspotentieel met prospects.

The latest forms of virtual tours are more advanced and attractive. You will find a scene gallery, click-to-view information tags, background music, Gyroscope support, some even support VR boxes, and many more. Proper platform development can also significantly enhance these virtual tours.

Terwijl u verder leest, leert u hoe u zelf virtuele tours kunt maken.

Laten we eens kijken naar de voordelen van het gebruik van een virtuele tour voor de meeste bedrijven.

Advantages Of Using A Virtual Tour On Your Website

Nu, virtuele tours zijn meer gunstig voor bedrijven die vertrouwen op het markeren van hun locatie om prospects aan te trekken.

So, Real Estate Firms, Hotels, Museums, Universities, Schools and Colleges, Amusement Parks, Fancy Restaurants, and most other such businesses can use virtual tours to attract more potential prospects.

Ja, het gebruik van beelden van hoge kwaliteit is geen slecht idee, maar een virtuele tour kan een grotere connectie hebben met de kijker omdat deze zich persoonlijk en betrokken voelt tijdens de tour.

Hier zijn enkele van de voordelen die u kunt verwachten voor uw bedrijf met behulp van een virtuele tour.

1. Onmiddellijke betrokkenheid

Het gebruik van een virtuele tour is nog erg nieuw en mensen die uw site bezoeken zullen direct verslaafd zijn.

Engage with prospects through virtual tours

The fact is, people are already well-accustomed to looking at flat images or videos. A virtual tour will be something new and interesting to all viewers.

De belangrijkste reden waarom een virtuele tour effectiever is, is omdat de kijkers de volledige controle over de tour hebben.

Vlakke beelden kunnen alleen maar een fantasierijk beeld opleveren dat misschien niet accuraat is. En video's kunnen alleen worden bekeken zonder enige controle. We moeten de plek bekijken vanuit de hoek van de cameraman.

In a virtual tour, viewers can move and look around from any angle or direction. They can go from one scene to another easily and can take their time to inspect the location.

Once they take the tour, they will have a more accurate visual of the actual location.

Thus, even if someone is not willing to purchase a website visit, a virtual tour might grab his attention and possibly turn him into a potential buyer.

Realtors and hotel owners will benefit the most in this case, compared to most other businesses.

However, anything unique, that’s interesting and exciting, can always get you better results no matter what business you run.

2. Geef een beter zicht op de toekomst

Het belangrijkste concept van een virtuele tour is het geven van een realistisch beeld van een plaats. En bijna elk bedrijf kan gebruik maken van virtuele tours om de prospects een beter geïnformeerd beeld te geven.

Better visual using virtual tours

Previously, the most advanced remote tours were video tours.

However, the problem with video tours is that you can only watch from the point of view or angle of the cameraman.

You have no way to inspect from another angle.

Ook kunnen, zoals ik al eerder zei, platte beelden een fantasierijk beeld creëren dat misschien niet accuraat is.

Dus hier is het belangrijkste punt. Door middel van video's of beelden kunnen mensen zich in hun geest visualiseren en dit creëert een zekere assumptive verwachting van hoe de plaats eruit zal zien wanneer deze persoonlijk wordt bezocht.

Nu, als een persoon op bezoek komt, als het niet overeenkomt met zijn verbeelding, zal hij bijna onmiddellijk zijn interesse verliezen.

A virtual tour rather creates a near-perfect visual of the place.

A person taking a virtual tour will develop an expectation that very much matches the place in reality.

Thus creating more potential prospects.

So whether it is a hotel, an amusement park, a school, or any form of business, a virtual tour can generate more potential prospects.

3. Help Prospects om een beslissing te nemen

As you just read, a virtual tour gives a better visual of the location.

Almost every detail can be inspected through a virtual tour and the close resemblance to the actual location makes it a great instrument of choice.

Help home buyers make a decision easily

Laat het me uitleggen.

Let’s say you’re searching online for good restaurants in your area. You found three restaurants that have good reviews based on the taste of their food.

But which one you’ll choose to visit?

Let’s assume all three of these restaurants have virtual tours on their site. Once you take a virtual tour of each of them, you will be able to understand which one has the environment that you were looking for.

The decorations and the seating arrangements would be more clear and you could choose your preferred restaurant.

Op dezelfde manier kunnen mensen op een onroerend goed website rondleidingen maken door verschillende huizen op een locatie. Dit laat hen toe om degene te kiezen die ze geschikt vinden.

Almost all businesses can use virtual tours to influence prospects’ choices.

4. Vermijd onnodige bezoeken en afwijzing

Avoid Unnecessary Visits And Rejection

Using a huge number of photos is a common practice for realtors.

However, no matter how many images you use, it’s not possible to have a clear idea of the property structure and planning.

You may see each individual room and each important location clearly but don’t know how the spots are connected and how to move around inside the property.

Plus the latest photo editors can even transform a dull place to look stunning.

There is a high possibility that most people, willing to visit the location, might end up being disappointed since they had better or lower expectations.

At the same time, if you are giving a live tour to people during every visit, then you will be wasting a lot of time and effort since there is a high rejection rate.

The main reason is, as I explained earlier, failure to meet expectations.

A virtual tour will allow viewers to carefully inspect the property and decide if it’s suitable for them.

As a result, calls to visit will mostly come from prospects who are already interested and satisfied with the location, i.e., more potential prospects and fewer rejections.

According to a report, using 360-degree virtual tours in the real estate industry will reduce the number of wasted viewings by 40%.

That’s a substantial amount of time and money you can save.

5. Technologisch voordeel ten opzichte van concurrenten

Even though virtual tour is a relatively new term for a lot of people, it already has become a key marketing strategy for industries like real estate, hospitality business, museums, etc.

However, almost every business has the scope to utilize virtual tours as a part of its marketing strategy.

Dit is eigenlijk een voordeel voor uw bedrijf als u geen gebruik heeft gemaakt van virtuele tours op grote schaal.

Technological Advantage of Virtual Tours

For example, if you own a super shop, you can create a virtual tour that will let visitors get a tour of the shop remotely.

They will be able to see the various sections and types of goods you have. Plus, they will notice how organized and clean your super shop is.

Many viewers might choose to take a visit after noticing a certain section on your super shop, expecting to meet the quality they require.

Other super shops that don’t have a virtual tour on their site will not get this added advantage to convert an online visitor to a live prospect.

Similarly, if you own a hotel, then a virtual tour will give you an added advantage over other hotels in your area.

People visiting your site will be able to get a virtual experience remotely, compared to other hotels that rely on just images and videos.

Als uw hotel goed ingericht en betaalbaar is, zullen de meeste mensen uw hotel waarschijnlijk verkiezen boven anderen na het nemen van een virtuele tour.

As you can see, every business can be ahead of its competitors through a virtual tour. You will achieve more trust from prospects, and gain a good reputation for reliability and up-to-date technology.

These are 5 major advantages that almost all businesses can enjoy despite the niche.

There could be more advantages such as being more cost-effective compared to creating virtual video tours (due to hiring expert camera crews), and more efficient and effective towards prospects.

How To Create a Virtual Tour

To use a virtual tour you need to create one. To create a virtual tour you need some materials and need to know the process.

Let’s start with materials :

Resources You Need To Create a Virtual Tour

To create a virtual tour you will need two specific things.

You can go for any type of virtual tour.

For this article, I am going to use an equirectangular type to create a virtual tour.

In the case of an Equirectangular virtual tour, the main elements are:

  • 360 panoramic images, and
  • A Virtual Tour Creator Tool.

What Is A 360 Panoramic Image?

First, understand what a panoramic image is.

A panoramic image is different from the usual photographs.

They are usually very wide and the pictures are taken in different ways for different types of panoramic images.

Now, a 360-degree panoramic image takes a 360-degree angle of a place or thing.

Once processed using a virtual tour creator, it becomes an Equirectangular virtual tour.

Here is an example:

A 360-degree Panorama Image

A 360-Degree Panorama Image

Converted To A Basic Virtual Tour

Once you have seamless 360 panoramic images, you can now easily create amazing virtual tours using a virtual tour creator.

In the example above, I used WPVR which is currently the best virtual tour creator for WordPress.

Learn how to Create a virtual tour using the right tool

Het creëren van een virtuele tour klinkt als een moeilijke taak, maar in werkelijkheid is het vrij eenvoudig zolang je het juiste gereedschap gebruikt.

**Zorgvuldig met productiebedrijven. Velen zullen beweren dat videotours virtuele tours zijn, maar dat is niet waar. Ja, er zijn virtuele videotours, maar ze zijn niet ideaal voor een volledige controle en inspectie. En ze kosten meer om te produceren.

Er zijn vele tools en diensten die u kunnen helpen om uw 360 panoramische beelden om te zetten in een virtuele tour.

However, today I will show you a step-by-step process on how to create a virtual tour for your WordPress site using the WPVR plugin.

WPVR

With WPVR, you can easily learn how to make a virtual tour with the simplest steps.

There are more virtual tour plugins, but this one comes with an easy interface and quality output.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can generate a quality virtual tour using WPVR easily, on your own.

Step-by-Step Guide To Create Virtual Tour Using WPVR

U kunt de gratis versie van WPVR krijgen van de WordPress-repository.

You can get the pro version from here :

Get the pro plugin: WPVR Pro

First, let’s look at how you can create a virtual tour using the free version. Then I will discuss some of its Pro features that you can use to make the virtual tour more attractive.

Now, let’s go through it step-by-step.

Stap 1 - Installeren en activeren van WPVR

Ga naar uw WordPress Dashboard > Plugin > Nieuw toevoegen.

Zoek naar WPVR en u vindt een blauw pictogram van de plugin zoals in de afbeelding hieronder:

WPVR

Click on “Install” and after that “Activate” will appear. Click on the button of the plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, you will get this page :

WPVR setup process

Click on the “Let’s create your first tour” button.

you will see on your Dashboard that a new menu called “WP VR” has been added. And this page will appear :

set up WPVR

Now give a title to your virtual tour. If you don’t want to give title now then just press the cross button.

Then, as you proceed a pop up of scene id will come up :

WP VR scene ID

Stap 2 - Creëer een virtuele tour

As you proceed, this dashboard will appear :

Dashboard of WP VR

On the left side, you will see 8 tabs:

:

  • Algemeen
  • Scènes
  • Hotspot
  • Video
  • Floor plan
  • Background Tour
  • Street View
  • Export

Voor een virtuele tour moet u de juiste instellingen van de eerste drie tabbladen instellen.

Stap 3 - Algemene instellingen configureren

Go to the General > Basic Settings tab and you will see the following options:

Setting option of WP VR

Set A Tour Preview Image:

When you keep Autoload option “Off”, there is a netted placeholder visible. However. you can replace that by uploading a Preview image.

Simply click on the “UPLOAD” button and add a media image. (You should use a flat image for this, rather than a 360 panoramic image)

Of u kunt een link naar de afbeelding opgeven. (Zorg ervoor dat uw site SSL gecertificeerd is, d.w.z. "https", dan moet de beeldlink ook "https" hebben).

Set a preview image

Zodra u de afbeelding uploadt, verschijnt er een miniatuur boven de uploadknop.

Dit betekent dat de voorbeeldafbeelding met succes is geüpload.

Now once you Preview the tour (or view the tour on a live page), if the Autoload option is “Off”, you will see that this image is in place of the tour until you click on it.

And if the Autoload option is “On”, then this image will be there until the tour loads. And if not you need to click on the button preview.

How To Create A Virtual Tour In Easy Steps- A Complete Guide [2025] 1

Now, the tour preview image won’t appear on the tour, if you’ve turned on the Autoload option.

Tour Autoload:

If the autoload is turned on, the panorama you upload will load automatically. Otherwise, it will load on-click on the option “preview

WP VR

Basic Control Buttons:


Turning it “On” will view the on-screen control button, such as zoom in/out and full-screen mode.

button option

Scene Fade Duration:

The scene fade duration can be added in milliseconds for the transition between two scenes.

Setting option of preview

Volgens dit beeld is de scèneduur ingesteld op 1000 milliseconden, d.w.z. 1 seconde. Er zal dus een vervagend effect van 1 seconde zijn om van de ene scène naar de andere te gaan.

Auto Rotation:

Turning it “On” will show three more fields for you to add an auto-rotation feature to your virtual tour.

auto rotation

  • Rotation Speed and Direction

These are to set the speed of auto rotation on your tour. We suggest you keep this speed within the range of -20 to 20, or else the rotation will probably be too fast.

A negative number will rotate the tour anti-clockwise and a positive number will make it rotate clockwise.

  • Resume Auto Rotation After

This lets you set a time, in milliseconds, so that if you stop the rotation, then after this amount of time, it will start rotating again.

According to the image above, it is set to 2000 milliseconds, i.e., 2 seconds.

  • Stop Auto Rotation After

This lets you set a time after which the tour will stop auto-rotating.

However, this will not work if you input the value on Auto Rotation Inactive Delay. According to the image above, it is set to 2000 milliseconds, i.e., 2 seconds.

These are all the options in the General settings. Configure the settings as you require

Stap 4 - Scènes opzetten

In principe is elk panorama dat u in uw virtuele tour wilt opnemen een scène. Ga naar het tabblad Scènes en je krijgt de volgende opties:

Scenes Section

Set as default:


If you select “Yes” then the current scene will be the default scene to be viewed at first when the virtual tour is loaded. (FYI: The first scene is considered the default scene naturally.

If you want another scene to be the default scene, then mark that scene as “Yes” for Set as default.

Scene ID:

Scene ID is the initialization of a scene. You need to assign a unique scene ID to every scene you wish to upload.

scene id

Je kunt deze Scène-ID later gebruiken om een scène toe te wijzen als de Doelscène onder Hotspot, d.w.z. als je op de hotspot klikt, kom je in deze scène terecht. U krijgt hiervoor een gids onder de rubriek "HotSpot". 

Scene Type:

The scene type is set as ‘equirectangular’ by default. It means that it will view the Equirectangular format of the scene.

scene type

Scene Upload:

Here, click on the “UPLOAD” button and upload a 360-degree panoramic image to use it as your current scene.

Zodra u de afbeelding uploadt, verschijnt er een miniatuur boven de uploadknop.

Upload option

Dit betekent dat de afbeelding wordt geüpload als de huidige scèneafbeelding.

FYI: Most mobile devices have restrictions on the resolution; they can support a maximum of 4096 px by 2048 px.

Hence, we suggest you use a panoramic image within these dimensions for the virtual tour to be responsive on all devices. (However, the plugin works with any resolution. You can upload high resolution images if you just want to view the tour on PC).

Preview:

Once you have uploaded the image, you can now click on the Preview button.

Scene preview option

You will get a Tour Preview of the tour just beside the Scene Settings.

Telkens wanneer u wijzigingen aanbrengt in de instellingen, kunt u op de knop Preview klikken om de wijzigingen in werking te zien treden op de preview van de tour.

**The Tour Preview has a scene gallery below. You can double-click on a thumbnail there to go to any scene in the tour preview.

Om een tweede scène toe te voegen, klikt u bovenaan op de "+" knop.

Add scene

En er zal een nieuwe lege scène worden toegevoegd.

Om tussen de scènes te wisselen, klikt u op de bovenstaande pictogrammen. De momenteel bekeken scène wordt blauw gemarkeerd.

To delete a scene, you can simply go to the scene, then click on the “Trash Bin” icon and the scene will be deleted.

delete button in scene option

Here are more fields that you get :

  • Title: Specifies the name or title of the panoramic scene.
  • Author: Identifies the creator or photographer of the panoramic image.
  • Author URL: Provides a link to the author’s website or portfolio.
  • Vertical Angle of View: Determines the vertical field of view for the panoramic scene.
  • Horizontal Angle of View: Sets the horizontal field of view for the panoramic scene.

Set accordingly the field as per your needs.

That’s it with the basics of Scene Settings.

Now, add Hotspots to make the tour more meaningful and engaging.

Stap 5 - Hotspot efficiënt gebruiken 

Voor een actieve scène kunt u meerdere hotspots toevoegen. Met deze optie kunt u elk van uw scènes koppelen aan andere scènes.

Also, you can add images, links, or video information via this option.

While on a Scene, go to the HotSpot tab and you get the hotspots you added for that particular Scene.

To add a hotspot for another scene, first, go to the Scene tab, select the desired Scene, then go to the Hotspot tab to view its respective Hotspots.

For a hotspot of a scene, initially, you will get the following options:

HotSpot ID:

You have to provide a unique Hotspot ID for every hotspot you create in a scene.

hostpot id

Pitch And Yaw:

The Pitch and Yaw are the coordinates required to define the point where the Hotspot will be placed.

pitch and yaw

You will be able to collect these from the Preview Tour.

Previously you set up the scene and clicked on Preview. The Preview Tour will be still there.

Scroll naar beneden naar de Preview Tour en klik op het punt op de tour, waar u de Hotspot wilt plaatsen. U zult zien dat de standplaats- en giercoördinaten onder de Preview Tour verschijnen.

U kunt de Pitch and Yaw kopiëren en in de verplichte velden invoeren.

Or, you can click on the arrow button (beside the Pitch and Yaw coordinates under the Tour preview) to automatically collect and place Pitch and Yaw values in the Pitch and Yaw fields for a Hotspot.

Once you are done setting up the hotspot, click on the Preview button, and a hotspot icon will appear in the current scene on the spot from where you collected the coordinates of the Pitch and Yaw.

pitch and yaw

HotSpot Type:

There are two types of hotspots available:

  • Info
  • Scène
type of hotspot

It comes as “Info” by default and you will view these fields:

  • URL.
  • On Click Content.
  • On Hover Content.
hotspot option

URL:

Provide the URL of a website, so clicking on the hotspot will take you to that website on a new tab. 

On Click Content:

Here you can add content to your hotspot so that clicking on the hotspot will display a pop-up window over the tour with the content you entered. There are options to add text, images, videos, gifs and more!

on click content

On Hover Content:

Here you can add content to your hotspot so that if you just hover your mouse on the hotspot, the content will appear. And similar to the on click content, you can add whatever type of content you want.

On hover content

You can also add images using the <img src> tag or add a video using the <iframe> snippet of the video to display them when you hover the mouse on the hotspot.

Now, let’s look at the Scene type hotspot.

A scene-type hotspot is used to connect two scenes, i.e., clicking on the hotspot will transmit you to another scene (assigned here).

If you change the hotspot style to Scene, then you will view these fields:

  • On Hover Content.
  • Select Target Scene from the List.
  • Target Scene ID.
hotspot scene type

On Hover Content:

Here you can add content to your hotspot so that if you just hover your mouse on the hotspot, the content will appear. In the content, you’ll be able to add image [maybe of the scene that you’re guiding them to], videos, images etc.

Hier is een voorbeeld:

On Hover Content Scene Type

You can also add images using the <img src> tag or add a video using the <iframe> snippet of the video to display them when you hover the mouse on the hotspot.

Select Target Scene and the ID from the List:

For every Scene you create, their Scene IDs get listed here for you to choose from. Whichever you choose will be the scene where the hotspot will take you. This field shows you the Id of the Scene that you selected from the Target Scene from the List.

The ID automatically gets loaded.

Select Scene for Hotspot

**When you choose a hotspot to be Scene type, the hotspot icon on the tour will change to a small Arrow.

Hotspot Scene Type

Hotspot Custom Icon Class:

This field is there to allow you to implement customizations of the hotspot content.

Custom Hotspot Icon

Hier kunt u maatwerk toepassen op het hotspotpictogram. U mag elk icoon van uw eigen keuze gebruiken. Laat me je een voorbeeld geven.

Om uw hotspotpictogram aan te passen, gaat u naar uw Appearance > Editor. Kies het stylesheet van uw huidige thema, of ga naar Verschijning > Aanpassen > Extra CSS.

Maak hier een klasse aan en voeg onder de klasse uw aangepaste stijl CSS-code toe voor aanpassing. Klik op Opslaan. Bijvoorbeeld:

.custom-icon { 
height: 26px; 
width: 26px; 
background: url("image url") no-repeat center center/auto; 
border-radius: 12px; 
}

Here I set the class name as “custom-icon” but you can give any name you want. Then set the height and width of the image (ideally 26px by 26px for icons). Then provide the image URL. You can add a border radius if you want the icon to be circular.

Hier is hoe mijn exemplaar eruit ziet:

Paste code in Additional CSS

Publiceer dan.

Hotspot Custom Icon Class:

Now go to your tour and input the class name “custom-icon” on the “Hotspot custom icon class” field for the hotspot you wish this icon to apply on.

Icon class used

Then update the tour. This icon won’t show at the back end, but it will appear on the front-end.

Hence, embed the tour on a page and preview it to see the result.

Add More Hotspot As You Move On:

Om een tweede hotspot toe te voegen, klik op de "+" knop hierboven en er wordt een nieuwe lege hotspot toegevoegd.

add hostpot option

Om een hotspot te verwijderen, klikt u op het prullenbakicoon en de hotspot wordt verwijderd.

hotspot delete option

Dat is het, dat is alles wat je moet weten over het opzetten van een hotspot voor nu.

Hotspot Special Features In WPVR PRO

Now utilize Steps 3, 4, and 5 to add more scenes and set up a virtual tour.

You can also customize your icon with these options :

  • Hotspot Custom Background Color: This allows you to set a specific background color for hotspots in the panoramic scene.
  • Hotspot Custom Background Shape: This allows you to set specific background shapes for hotspot icons like circles, rectangles or hexagon.
  • Hotspot Custom Icon Color: Enables customization of the color of the icon used for hotspots in the panoramic view.
  • Hotspot Animation: Provides options to add visual effects or movements to hotspots, making them more noticeable or interactive. This icon won’t show at the back end, but it will appear on the front end.
Hotspot Customization

Step 6 – Publish The Tour and Collect Tour ID

Once done, move to the next step.

Publish The Tour:
Once you have successfully set the settings for General settings, Scene settings, and Hotspots settings, click on the Publish button on the top right side of the page.

publish option

Als je eenmaal hebt gepubliceerd, verandert die knop in Update.

update option

Collect Tour ID:
On the tour setting pages, you will see a box named Using This Tour where the shortcode and the Tour ID is provided. You will need the Tour ID to embed your virtual tour on the website.

Tour ID

You can also get the Tour ID from the tours section.

Alle tours die u heeft aangemaakt worden opgeslagen onder Dashboard > WPVR > Tours.

You will see the list of the tours you have created. You can collect the Shortcode or tour ID.

Step 7 – Place The Virtual Tour On Your Website

Het plaatsen van de virtuele tour op uw website is afhankelijk van de pagina-editor die u gebruikt.

  • Classic editor: For Classic Editor, copy and paste the shortcode of your virtual tour. You can add height, width, radius, or any designs you want within the shortcode.
[wpvr id = "Example ID" width = "600px" height = "400px"]

Preview or Publish the page to find the virtual tour added.

  • Other page editors (such as Visual Composer):

For page builders such as Beaver Builder, Visual Composer, etc, you need to use an “HTML” block (such as Raw HTML block) and input the shortcode there.

Step 8 – Enjoy The Benefits Of Using A Virtual Tour

Now that you know how to create, set up, and present the virtual tour on your website. The next thing to do is to sit and see your audience getting excited, visitors becoming dedicated prospects, and prospects turning into customers.

As you can see, it is super easy to create a virtual tour for your WordPress site. Go ahead and start using virtual tours ASAP.

In a later section, I will discuss how many business niches can use and benefit from using virtual tours. You will definitely be able to relate.

Hoe dan ook, de meesten van ons zijn nu niet vertrouwd met panoramische beelden omdat ze niet kunnen worden genomen zonder een paar apparatuur en methoden. En zoals u in de laatste paragraaf heeft gezien, moet u voor het maken van een virtuele tour gebruik maken van een Naadloze 360 Panoramische Beeld.

Laten we nu eens kijken hoe u zelf 360 panoramische beelden kunt vastleggen.

Capturing A Perfect 360 Panoramic Image

Het vastleggen van een Naadloos 360 Panoramabeeld 

U kunt op 3 manieren 360 panoramische beelden vastleggen en creëren:

  1. Gebruik van digitale 360 graden camera (aanbevolen)
  2. Gebruik van standaard DSLR
  3. Een slimme telefoon gebruiken

Digital 360 Degree Cameras are the best for this case. They are easy to use, less hassle, and cost-effective.

Ik zal u echter een goede gids geven om alle 3 de methoden te volgen met suggesties voor de benodigde apparatuur, en tips en aanwijzingen om met succes 360 Panoramabeelden te creëren.

1. Using Digital 360 Degree Cameras

There are certain cameras available just for 360-degree photography. These are digital cameras that usually have multiple built-in Fisheye lenses that cover a complete 360 degrees in one go.

Hier is een lijst van enkele van de beste 360 graden digitale camera's.

Hier geven we een korte gids over het gebruik van de Ricoh Theta V voor het maken van naadloze 360 panoramische beelden.

Laten we eens kijken naar het benodigde gereedschap.

Vereist materiaal:

1. Ricoh Theta V

Ricoh Theta V is a slim camera with two Fisheye lenses in opposite directions. Each lens captures a complete 180 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

Het grote voordeel van deze camera is dat hij een automatische stikfunctie heeft, d.w.z. als je eenmaal een foto hebt gemaakt, zal de uitvoer automatisch een 360 panoramisch beeld zijn. U hoeft niet handmatig te borduren of meerdere foto's te maken.

2. Monopod

Een Monopod is een camera met 1 uitschuifbare poot, vast te zetten op bepaalde hoogtes. Aangezien de Ricoh Theta een volledige 360 graden dekking heeft, zou een statief met zijn 3 poten belemmerend werken. Een Monopod komt helemaal niet in beeld.

Hier is een lijst van monopods die je kunt bekijken.

U heeft echter wel een 3-potige vergrendelvoet nodig die aan de onderkant wordt bevestigd, zodat deze hoog kan staan.

It is a small 3-legged stand that lays flat, while the Monopod is connected on top. Its 3 legs give the support required for the Monopod to stand.

3. Ricoh Theta V App

Of u het nu een voordeel noemt of niet, u kunt de Ricoh Theta capture met uw smartphone bedienen via de Ricoh Theta V App.

Ricoh Theta V App

Simply connect the camera to your phone through Bluetooth and then you can get the image preview on your phone through the Ricoh Theta V app. Hence, you can carefully analyze if you have placed the camera in the right spot for the best light and location exposure.

De app geeft je de mogelijkheid om de witbalans, ISO, bracketing en sluitertijd te regelen.

The main reason to use the app is to be able to take photos remotely. Since the 360 camera covers all directions in one go, you clicking manually would mean that you would be on the image.

Met behulp van de app kunt u de apparaten instellen, naar de volgende kamer gaan en de app gebruiken om het beeld vast te leggen.

Tips en aanwijzingen voor het gebruik

  1. Plaats de Monopod op de standaard en bevestig de camera eraan. Plaats de apparaten op een punt in de buurt van het midden van de kamer.
  2. Schakel de Monopod om de camera op een hoogte te plaatsen die vergelijkbaar is met de hoogte van de ogen of schouder van een doorsnee persoon. Dit zorgt voor een realistischer effect bij het maken van een virtuele tour.
  3. Sluit de telefoonapplicatie aan op de camera en ga naar de live-weergavemodus. Hier wordt het beeld in een 360 Equirectangular formaat getoond, om te zien of u alle instellingen correct hebt aangepast en of het beeld er goed uitziet.
  4. Overdag wordt geadviseerd om de ISO tussen 200-400 te houden op basis van het omgevingslicht. s Nachts moet u de ISO verlagen tot 100 of lager om minder ruis in het beeld te krijgen.
  5. Schakel de optie "ruisonderdrukking" van de app in om de beeldkwaliteit te verbeteren.
  6. Ga naar buiten en bereid je voor om het beeld te fotograferen.
  7. Zet de live-weergavemodus "uit", omdat deze een sluitervertraging kan veroorzaken als hij "aan" wordt gezet.
  8. Leg de foto vast die wordt opgeslagen op de fotogalerij van uw telefoon of op de geheugenkaart van de camera.

Het apparaat doet automatisch het stiksel en de verwerking, zodat u niet extra hard hoeft te werken.

Dat is het! Je hebt nu een naadloos 360 panoramisch beeld. U kunt deze afbeelding uploaden naar WPVR en een prachtige virtuele tour maken.

2. Using DSLR To Capture 360 Panoramic Images

DSLR's worden meestal gebruikt voor professionele fotografie en kunnen beelden van hoge kwaliteit vastleggen. Het is echter vrij moeilijk om 360 panoramische beelden vast te leggen met behulp van een DSLR.

U moet meerdere beelden vastleggen om volledige 360 graden in alle richtingen te dekken, en dan wat bewerken om een goed 360 graden panoramisch beeld te bereiken.

Hier is een korte gids om u te helpen.

Vereist materiaal:

1. Een DSLR-kwaliteitscarrosserie

Use a DSLR body with high dpi that has a bracketing feature.

**Bracketing verwijst naar het meerdere malen maken van een bepaalde foto bij verschillende belichtingen en deze vervolgens samenvoegen tot een foto met een uitgebalanceerde belichting.

Je kunt een kijkje nemen bij Nikon D810, Canon EOS 5d Mark IV, Sony Alpha A7R2 of Panasonic Lumix G6 wanneer je overweegt een DSLR body te kopen.

2. Een Fisheye Lens

U hebt een Fisheye-lens nodig om bredere beelden vast te leggen, zodat u het proces met minder foto's kunt voltooien.

Hier is een lijst met Canon Fisheye-lenzen die je kunt bekijken.

3. Een Panohead

A Panohead/Nodalhead is a piece of equipment to that you attach your camera to. You can then can set the camera to rotate at fixed horizontal angles using the Panohead rings. This will ensure you cover a complete 360 degrees horizontally, without overlapping.

U kunt hier meer leren over Panoheads.

4. Een kogelkop (optioneel)

If you are willing to capture images on an uneven or unbalanced ground location, then you may use a Ball head to balance your camera on a proper horizontal axis.

Hier is een lijst van goede balkoppen die je kunt bekijken.

5. Een statief

A tripod is a camera stand with 3 legs that are extendable and fixable to specific heights. It has a horizontal 360 spinnable top section, with a handle, on which the ball head or the Panohead (in case you don’t use a ball head) is attached.

De Panohead-ring zal helpen om de hoeken die u kunt draaien de camera te controleren.

Hier zijn enkele van de beste statieven die er zijn.

Tips en aanwijzingen voor het gebruik

  1. Kies een tijdstip van de dag waarop er vanuit alle richtingen geschikt licht is om foto's te maken. Als je 's nachts schiet, zorg dan voor goede verlichting.
  2. Stel de apparatuur op en plaats deze in het midden van de kamer.
  3. Zorg ervoor dat er geen Parallex punt wordt gecreëerd. Hier is een video om je te helpen begrijpen.
  4. Schakel het statief om de camera op een hoogte te plaatsen die vergelijkbaar is met de hoogte van de ogen of de schouder van een gemiddeld persoon.
  5. Schakel de camera voor de beste instellingen. Hier zijn mijn suggesties voor het geval er voldoende daglicht is:
    • Zet de camera in volledig handmatige modus
    • Houd een fatsoenlijke sluitertijd; 1/10e of 1/20e is ideaal overdag.
    • Stel verschijning in op ongeveer F11, en ISO op ongeveer 640 of meer.
    • Stel de handmatige witbalans in op 4000Kelvin
  6. Stel de bracketing in op 3 belichtingsniveaus met een verschil van 2 niveaus.
  7. Pas autotimer toe om deze bracketing beelden vast te leggen, misschien binnen 3-5seconden.

FYI: Photography completely depends on the light, and these settings might not give the best output at different light exposures. Hence, you need to toggle settings based on the amount of light available.

Nu om foto's te maken.

Het vastleggen van noodzakelijke beelden met behulp van DSLR

Het vastleggen van noodzakelijke beelden met behulp van DSLR

Nu moet u een aantal foto's maken, afhankelijk van de breedte die uw Fisheye-lens kan bestrijken.

Laten we een voorbeeld nemen:

Als je een Fisheye-lens gebruikt die 90 graden verticaal en 60 graden horizontaal bedekt, dan is dit wat je moet doen:

  1. Stel uw Panohead in om 60 graden te draaien.
  2. Maak 6 geribbelde foto's door de camera na elke opname tot 60 graden te draaien.
  3. Stel de camera op en maak 2 foto's door de camera na de 1e opname 180 graden te draaien.
  4. Zet de camera naar beneden en maak 2 foto's door de camera na de 1e opname 180 graden te draaien.
  5. Scheid het DSLR-lichaam van de rest van de apparatuur en maak een handfoto van het midden van de kamer waar het statief eerder is geplaatst.

Dus volgens dit voorbeeld heeft u nu 6 horizontale foto's, twee plafondfoto's en 3 grondfoto's.

De foto's naaien

De foto's naaien

Nu je de gewenste beelden hebt, moet je ze in een naadloos 360 panoramisch beeld naaien.

U kunt het handmatig doen met behulp van Photoshop. Hier is een beginnershandleiding.

Als je het eenmaal doet, moet je ervoor zorgen dat je metadata injecteert om het in een compleet 360 graden panorama te maken. U kunt het gereedschap Xifer gebruiken om het te doen.

Dit is echter niet nodig om metadata te hebben wanneer je WPVR gebruikt, aangezien de plugin geen metadata nodig heeft om te werken.

U kunt ook hulpmiddelen gebruiken zoals PhotoMerge, PhotoStitcher, Stitcher V4, enz.

Eenmaal genaaid, wordt een naadloos 360 panoramisch beeld gecreëerd. U kunt het dan uploaden naar WPVR om het om te zetten in een Virtuele Tour.

3. 360-graden foto's met uw smartphone

360 Foto met Smartphone

Zelfs als u geen DSLR, lenzen of gespecialiseerde 360-camera's hebt, kunt u een 360-naadloze panoramafoto maken met uw smartphone.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to using a smartphone to take 360 panoramic images.

Gids in vier stappen om 360 panorama's vast te leggen met Smartphone

Whether you use an Android device or an IOS device, the process is the same.

Stap 1 - Download de app

The Google Street View app lets you easily take 360 photos with your Android smartphone. It is the most stable 360-degree photography app for smartphones to date.

Download de Google Street View voor Android of Google Street View voor IOS en de Google Camera-app van de Playstore/Appstore.

Stap 2 - De app instellen

The app will give you some welcome tips and then take you to the homepage. In the bottom-right corner, there is a camera option. 

Kies de camera-optie en er verschijnt een menu. Je moet de derde optie kiezen om 360 foto's te maken.

Stap 3 - Neem de foto's

U wordt naar het camerascherm gebracht en de app geeft u begeleiding bij het vastleggen. Houd de telefoon dicht bij je, kies een geschikte positie en sta stil.

Zodra u op de startknop klikt, krijgt u een holle cirkel in het midden van uw scherm. En sommige oranje cirkels zullen in verschillende richtingen gaan verschijnen.

Move the phone, match the center circle with an orange circle, and click the snap button. That orange circle will turn blue/green and will disappear, while a photo is captured.

Another orange circle will appear in a different direction. Move the phone to the next orange circle to do the same. Keep doing it until all the orange spots are captured.

De app is zo ontworpen dat als je eenmaal alle oranje cirkels hebt geknapt, er een volledige 360-voudige weergave is vastgelegd.

Eenmaal klaar, brengt de app je weer naar de homepage.

Stap 4 - Beelduitvoer

Op dit moment is de app de foto's al aan elkaar aan het naaien om een 360-beeld te maken. U zult de voortgang van het naaien op een laadbalk kunnen zien.

Nadat het borduren is voltooid, vindt u de 360-graden afbeelding die is opgeslagen in uw fotogalerij. U kunt deze foto vervolgens gebruiken om hem te uploaden op WPVR en een virtuele tour te maken.

**Houd er rekening mee dat de laatste update van de Google Camera App een aantal grote veranderingen heeft ondergaan, waardoor deze misschien niet compatibel is met veel Android-toestellen.

There you go, now you know what is virtual reality, what is a virtual tour, how to create a virtual tour, what a seamless 360 panoramic image is, and how to capture 360 panoramic images on your own.

Now, you can simply choose a method to take a 360 panoramic image, upload it on the virtual tour creator (WPVR) and present it on your website to engage with your audience with more authority and opportunity for conversion.

Hoe uw bedrijf kan profiteren van virtuele reizen

Eerder heb ik al een aantal bedrijven genoemd die kunnen profiteren van het gebruik van virtuele tours op hun websites.

Als uw bedrijf deel uitmaakte van die lijst, dan weet u al dat virtuele tours ideaal zijn voor uw bedrijf.

Ongeveer 67% van de mensen online wil dat virtuele tours worden geïmplementeerd op meer bedrijven.

Every business can have a virtual tour on its website. However, some businesses can dramatically increase revenue by implementing a virtual tour on their site.

Laten we nu eens kijken naar de grote voordelen van het gebruik van een virtuele tour op uw site, gericht op de grote niches.

Ontdek hoe een virtuele tour een positieve invloed kan hebben op uw bedrijf.

1. Onroerend goed

VR for Real Estate

Mensen die onroerend goed sites bezoeken zijn meestal op zoek naar woningen of huizen te kopen binnen de komende 2-3 maanden. Het belangrijkste punt is echter de besluiteloosheid.

Though prospects mostly look for houses in specific locations and within a suitable price range, they find it difficult to choose among multiple properties that match their requirements.

One of the reasons for this is that they are visualizing how the house looks based on flat images. They are not able to understand if the structure of the house is suitable for them since they are visualizing in their imagination.

Eindresultaat? Ze hebben de neiging om fysiek verschillende eigendommen te bezoeken voordat ze er een kiezen die lijkt op hun verbeelding en eisen.

Hier verliest u veel tijd terwijl u hen de live-tour geeft, en moeite door te gooien naar prospects die uiteindelijk misschien kopen van andere makelaars (ja, mensen zullen praten met verschillende makelaars bij het zoeken naar een huis).

A real estate virtual tour can ensure that the prospects you are dealing with are already interested to buy.

The visit is just for credibility. People will be able to remotely visit the place and explore.

They will be able to view the place from every angle and eventually develop a genuine interest in a property that suits their requirements.

Hence, they will call you for a visit, with the intent to buy.

Rather than taking several live tours of many properties, they will only wish to visit a few which they might end up purchasing, thanks to the remote virtual tour.

2. Hotel & Clubdorpen

VR for Hotel &amp; Resorts

Tourists, travelers, or international businessmen tend to look for suitable hotels to lodge at when going to distant locations. So, it is natural for them to browse through the websites of hotels available at the location they are visiting.

You can take steps to attract as many prospects as possible through your website. A simple hotel or resort virtual tour can take you a long way.

Hier is het idee. Mensen zoeken altijd naar hotels die zowel betaalbaar als comfortabel zijn om in te verblijven. De meeste mensen hebben de neiging om bij hun keuze door foto's van kamers te bladeren. Waarom geef je ze niet een beter beeld met een virtuele tour?

Create virtual tours for each room available for lodging and place them on your website. Try to add a virtual tour of your reception, hall room, bar, and dining area on your home page.

Deze zullen fungeren als grote aantrekkingskracht, vooral voor buitenlanders. Een kwaliteitsvolle virtuele tour zal betekenen dat mensen de kwaliteit en de schoonheid van uw hotel zullen kunnen begrijpen, en zal waarschijnlijk overwegen om onmiddellijk een beroep te doen op de reservatie, in plaats van te kijken naar meer hotels.

For Resorts, you should create a broad virtual tour, highlighting all of your special facilities such as swimming pools, beach areas, parks, ballrooms, spas, and other specialties besides the lodging and basic entertainment.

Virtual tours will definitely get prospects excited and influence more site visitors to convert into interested prospects.

3. Restaurants

VR for Restaurants

Having a restaurant means a lot of competition since currently, it is among to top business niches. 

People love to try out restaurants with good food, as well as well interior design.

Whether it’s a fancy restaurant or a classic restaurant, they have their own set of admirers.

Now, food quality is the most important thing. If you get good ratings about your food from customers, more people will probably take a visit soon. 

However, the second most important aspect is the interior.

Nowadays, prospects tend to visit the websites of several restaurants before choosing to visit one.

There, they not only look at the menus but also look at the gallery of your restaurant photos to understand if it is a suitable place to visit.

A better way to catch their attention is by allowing them to take a virtual tour of your restaurant from home.

They will be able to see the seating arrangement, spaciousness, decoration, quality, and overall interior arrangement. This will inspire them to choose your restaurant over others.

Hier is een voorbeeld:

Laten we zeggen dat je een hamburgertent bent. Een groep tieners is bereid om hamburgers bij u in de buurt te eten. Dus ze zullen de websites van verschillende hamburgerplaatsen in uw omgeving bezoeken alvorens er een te kiezen.

U kunt zich onderscheiden door uw verbazingwekkende interieurdecoratie te tonen naast uw heerlijke eten, door middel van een virtuele tour.

Through this remote tour, they might realize that the seating arrangements are comfortable and the decorations are great for taking selfies with friends.

Thus, they will end up visiting your place. Your next task is to impress them with the food.

For a fancy or theme-based restaurant, a virtual tour is more lucrative since you will be able to highlight your specialty to remote prospects on your website.

This will raise more awareness and influence more people to visit your restaurant.

4. Trouwlocaties

VR for Wedding Venues

Een bruiloft is een van de belangrijkste mijlpalen die een persoon in het leven bereikt. En het is natuurlijk voor iedereen om een huwelijksceremonie te willen hebben als geen ander. De trouwlocatie speelt een belangrijke rol in het maken van de bruiloft tot een gedenkwaardige gebeurtenis.

Usually, fiances choose the wedding venue together. They tend to browse through the websites of several wedding venues and shortlist a few that they feel are perfect for their wedding.

A virtual tour can make your wedding venue the ideal one. Let the couple take a remote visit and experience how grand the venue is.

The venue entrance, the stage, the dining halls, the chandeliers, the photo session room, and all the specialties of your venue can be highlighted easily through a virtual tour.

Stuur het paar in een wereld van verbeelding, zodat ze hun wandeling in de zaal kunnen voelen, en de bruid die het tapijt afloopt naar de priester en haar verloofde, klaar om te trouwen; het gooien van het boeket en de toasten van vrienden en familie.

Deze kleine reis binnen de locatie zal hen helpen hun toekomst te bepalen en uw locatie te kiezen als de ideale locatie die hun samenhorigheid in de komende dagen zal markeren.

Daarom is een virtuele tour op uw website alleen maar het juiste om te doen.

5. Universiteiten, Scholen & Hogescholen

VR for Universities, Schools &amp; Colleges

Hoewel nieuw geïmplementeerd in vele, hebben veel universiteiten, scholen en hogescholen een groter studentenbereik bereikt door het creëren van virtuele rondleidingen door hun instellingen.

Of je nu een grote of een kleine instelling runt, studenten en hun ouders zijn meer begaan met kwaliteitsvolle slaapzalen en aantrekkelijke campussen, na kwaliteitsvol onderwijs.

While they visit your website to find out about the courses you offer, you can also present a virtual tour of your campus to give them a remote experience of being part of the institution.

Laat ze een wandeling maken door je faculteitsgebouwen, sportfaciliteiten, slaapzalen, onderzoekslaboratoria, fitnesscentra, etc. en begrijp de kwaliteit die je naast het onderwijs biedt.

This is very important for international students. They will be moving to a new location, therefore, the quality environment and surroundings are among their main concerns and priorities.

Plus, de virtuele tour zal fungeren als een symbool van geloofwaardigheid, waardoor uw vermogen om studenten met een hoge kwaliteit tegemoet te komen, terwijl binnen uw gebouw.

6. Reizen/Toerisme-industrie

VR in Travel and Tourism Industry

Als u vakantie- of reisarrangementen promoot, dan hangt het verkrijgen van meer vooruitzichten sterk af van de locaties waar u naartoe gaat, naast de prijs.

Mensen zijn vaak huiverig om reispakketten te kopen omdat ze twijfels hebben over de kwaliteit van hun reis. U kunt gemakkelijk hun vertrouwen winnen door gebruik te maken van een virtuele tour.

You can include virtual tours for several iconic locations that your travel package will cover. You may also highlight great tourist resorts or historic places that your travel package will take travelers to.

Het idee is om de kijkers een glimp op te laten vangen van de aantrekkelijke zones die de tour op afstand zal omvatten door middel van een virtuele tour. Laat ze, in volledige controle, de verbazingwekkende locaties die ze kunnen bezoeken, inspecteren.

Dit zal niet alleen voor meer opwinding zorgen, maar ook de toeschouwers beïnvloeden in de richting van geïnteresseerde perspectieven.

7. Fitnesscentra

VR for Gym and Fitness Centers

Mensen hebben de neiging om een sportschool of fitnesscentrum te kiezen op basis van de verschillende soorten apparatuur en fitnessapparaten die daar beschikbaar zijn. Bovendien hangt het ook af van de kwaliteit van de apparatuur.

U kunt virtuele tours gebruiken om mensen online aan te trekken en om geloofwaardigheid te winnen voor uw fitnesscentrum. Creëer een virtuele tour van hoge kwaliteit, die elk deel van uw centrum beslaat. En laat op elke sectie klikbellen naast de machines staan die informatie geven over het machinemodel en de kwaliteit.

At the same time, create short videos of the fitness trainer of the center, training and demonstrating the use of every piece of fitness equipment.

Leave a hotspot on each piece of fitness equipment available within the virtual tour, to be clicked to watch the relevant video.

Dit zal niet alleen de apparatuur benadrukken, maar ook de expertise van de fitnesstrainer demonstreren en zo meer mensen inspireren om zich bij uw fitnesscentrum aan te sluiten.

8. Winkelcentrum

VR for Shopping Mall

Winkelen is een van de favoriete activiteiten van de meeste vrouwen en sommige mannen. Het wordt echter vaak moeilijk om de juiste winkels te vinden in een ideaal winkelcentrum.

Er zijn tonnen winkels die verschillende producten en diensten verkopen. Hoewel elk winkelcentrum op elke verdieping een routekaart aanbiedt, wordt het vaak moeilijk om elke gewenste winkel te vinden door alleen de kaart te interpreteren.

For a large mall, people often run around in circles while messing up the directions. This is frustrating to customers and often limits them to purchase items.

Whether you are part of the ownership of a shopping mall or a shop owner at a mall, you could guide more prospects in the right direction through a virtual tour on your site.

On the virtual tour, a person will be able to follow directions as if in person and eventually reach their desired shops.

Since it’s a realistic visualization, the directions will be much easier to remember. Then when the prospect visits the mall, it will not take long to find his/her desired shop.

Als winkeleigenaar zou dit u kunnen helpen om meer klanten te werven en geen potentiële klanten te verliezen aan de concurrentie.

People with the internet on their phones can access your website while in the mall, hence they won’t need to use the flat map, rather they can get a realistic guide on their mobile.

As you can see, it is beneficial to add a showroom virtual tour on the website of either the shopping mall or any particular shop, to provide better navigation for prospects.

9. Musea

VR for Museums

People often love to visit museums due to the incredible historical display of various tools, items and reminisces of the past.

But the problem is, due to visual entertainment available on mobile phones or computers, most people do not try to seek out how great a visit to a museum might be.

De meeste musea worden in de loop der tijd geconfronteerd met een daling van het aantal bezoekers. Dit kan echter worden veranderd door gebruik te maken van virtuele tours.

Create a virtual tour for a certain section of your museum. Let’s assume this section contains items from World War II. Within the virtual tour, you can place clickable information bubbles for people to get historical information about any particular item.

Dit zal veel interesse wekken bij de bezoekers van de site. De sleutel is om nieuwsgierigheid te wekken bij de kijkers, zodat ze het gevoel hebben dat ze andere delen van uw museum moeten bezoeken om meer te weten te komen.  

You can also offer a paid virtual tour for the rest of the sections. This will allow people overseas to take a tour of your museum remotely.

U zult een stijging van het aantal bezoekers zien en ook mensen uit het buitenland uw museum laten waarderen.

10. Kunstgalerie

VR for Art Gallery

Teken je en draag je bij aan het tentoonstellen van kunstgalerieën? Of heb je een eigen kunstgalerie?

Dan weet je waarschijnlijk hoe opgewonden mensen zijn over kunst als ze een kunstgalerie bezoeken. Niet alleen dat, verschillende verzamelaars hebben de neiging om kunstwerken te bezoeken en vaak te kopen met grote waarde. 

Echter, als het gaat om online zakendoen, worden kunstgaleries vaak ondergewaardeerd. Waarom niet? De meeste kunstgaleries maken niet veel van hun website.

Let me tell you why. It’s because owners tend to flood their websites with individual pictures of their art. With so much art to look at, how long will a person browse through the collection?

Eventually, people only check the first few and then leave if nothing amazes them among the early collection.

But this means that they are avoiding pictures that are in a later queue. It is possible that one of those photos could have been the one to connect with them.

This can be drastically changed with an art gallery virtual tour. Create a virtual tour of your gallery and let art enthusiasts take a remote tour. This will be similar to a live visit and viewers will be able to walk around the gallery while observing your artwork.

You can leave little click bubbles beside every piece of art so that viewers can click to view the piece of art as a pop-up image, or on a new tab.

Provide a unique ID for every piece of art so that prospects can order online or request a visit to view the piece of art.

That’s how effective a virtual tour can be. Go ahead and attract more prospects to buy your art online.

Tot nu toe heb ik de voordelen van het gebruik van virtuele tours in 10 verschillende zakelijke niches uitgelegd. Als uw zakelijke niche niet tot deze 10 bedrijven behoorde, dan hoeft u niet teleurgesteld te worden.

3. Build Dynamic Sales Funnels To Streamline Halloween Sales

As Halloween is near already, you should make every effort to boost your sales. And it’s high time you built your sales funnel to track your buyer’s journey & make them spend more than they intended.

Now, every online store comes up with offers and deals. This is your chance to set yourself apart from your competitors.

For example, you can run funnels for special product categories within a specific time limit for Halloween.

Here are some more ideas you might consider –

  • Set dynamic offers on their purchase total or product quantity.
  • Offer special discounts based on user role.
  • Sell other relevant items with the Highest-sold products or Most popular products.

Or just run a storewide funnel to offer Halloween special items with any product they purchase.

These offers will engage your potential buyers and drive sales instantly.

You can implement all these strategies with WPFunnels which has the most unique Dynamic WooCommerce Funnel feature for your store with tons of conditions.

So get your dynamic funnels in place before Halloween hits.

4. Customize Your Discounts For Halloween Season

Your potential customers are hunting for the best Halloween deals and discounts.

You can use a variety of inventive marketing strategies to increase sales and generate buzz around Halloween.

You can give your customers the option to receive a “Treat” discount on larger purchases or a “Trick” discount on selected items when they make a purchase.

To attract greater orders, you can create unique bundles such as “Halloween Party Packs” or “Buy One, Get One 50% Off” offers.

You can create a separate category of Halloween products and offer category-based discounts.

You can also offer BOGO deals like this brand named Trusted Health Products:

5. Make The Most Of Social Media During Halloween

Unbelievably, nearly 30% of celebrants last year made purchases just for social media posts, particularly in the Gen Z and millennial demographics.

Also, Gen Z and millennial groups are hunting the social media platform in search of costume inspiration.

One-third of TikTok users reported that the website influenced their Halloween purchases the previous year. TikTok even released a tutorial on how to publicize the holiday on their platform.

This is the perfect moment to plan your TikTok or Instagram Halloween strategy if you have not already.

Influencer partnerships can help you promote products more widely but do not undervalue the importance of social media-worthy events, promotions, and shop displays.

WooCommerce Shipping Setup – Guide To Follow [2024]

As a Woocommerce owner, you might often be scared that your potential customer will abandon their almost-buying cart.

One of the reasons for abandoning your cart may be unclear shipping methods and payment sections.

WooCommerce Shipping settings are often confusing because there are plenty of options in the WooCommerce Dashboard.

So, in this article, I focused on making things as simple as possible for you when setting up the WooCommerce Shipping.

I gave proper directions for every step and used several pictures to let you follow the steps with your dashboard [EASILY].

Follow all the steps properly and your WooCommerce shipping settings will be ready.

So let’s begin.

WooCommerce Shipping Setup (Basic Steps)

WooCommerce Shipping is a feature that allows you to control shipping options.

WooCommerce Shipping consists of basic three options. You can say these are the foundation-setting options that you must set.

Here are these 3 options :

  • Verzendklasse
  • Shipping Zone
  • Shipping Method

I’ll go over them one by one :

Create WooCommerce Shipping Classes

In this section, you will learn how to create shipping classes :

Stap 1

First, Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping

Woocommerce Shipping

You’ll see four options: Shipping Zones, Shipping Settings, Classes, and Local Pickup.

Notice the blue line under the panel, you will find the option “Classes

Verzendklasse

Stap 2

After clicking on Add Shipping Classes, you will see a page as follows :

add shipping class

You will need to enter the following details:

  • Shipping Class: what kind of shipping approach do you want? For example: if you want free shipping, you must write free shipping. (This is mandatory).
  • Slug: A slug is created based on your shipping classes in your database. In most cases, you won’t need them unless you are working with several shipping classes. If you don’t provide a slug name, it will be created automatically.
  • Description: It is a good practice to provide a brief description of your shipping classes; the specific nature of products that put them under the same class, etc. This is completely optional.

Step 3

Once you provide the information, click on Save.

In my case, the shipping class looks like this:

Shipping class

You can create as many shipping classes as you want.

Then assign products to your shipping classes. The next step is to create your desired shipping zone.

Create WooCommerce Shipping Zones

Your shipping zone specifies the set of regions you are willing to ship your products to.

You can set multiple shipping regions based on the name, country/province, postal codes, etc.

You can also set different shipping rates for different regions based on the shipping methods available within this option.

P.S: When you set regions, users only from those regions will see your shipping options.

Now let’s learn how to create a new shipping zone :

Stap 1

On your dashboard go to WooCommerce > Settings and on the page, click on Shipping

Shipping option

Stap 2

Under Shipping, you will get 3 options. Click on the Shipping Zones option.

Shipping zone option

Stap 3

As you can see, To create one, click on Add zone.

add shipping zone

Step 4

In the first option, you will see the zone name. Fill the box accordingly.

Zone name

When you select a zone region on the box, all the regions under that zone will be previewed in the list. You will be able to select multiple regions among them.

Add shipping region

In my case, the box looks like this.

shipping region set up
shipping region set up

Click on Save Changes to save your newly created shipping zone.

shipping region set up

You are done with creating a Shipping Zone.

Then you need to select “Add Shipping Method” to Free Shipping or Flat Rate.

Which I am now going to discuss elaborately on how you can set up shipping methods :

Set Up A WooCommerce Shipping Method [Manual]

So, There are 3 types of shipping methods you can go for :

  • i. Free Shipping
  • ii. Flat Shipping
  • iii. Local shipping

First I will guide you with free shipping.

Then I will give you an overview of the other two WooCommerce shipping methods.

So let’s go ahead :

i. Free Shipping Method

If you want to give your customers shipping free of charge then you need to set up a free shipping method.

So, now go to the WooCommerce settings option. Then select the button Shipping< Add Zone

As you scroll down you will see the option shipping methods on the left side :

add shipping method

On the right panel, you will see a blue button labeled “Add shipping Method

Add shipping method

As you click on the button this list will come up :

shipping method option

Here, you will see a 2 option. select Free Shipping and click on the Continue button.

This is what the Free shipping Settings look like:

Set up free shipping

As you can see, first you have to put a name on it and then fill out the requirements.

You have to enter the following information:

1. Title:

This is the name of your shipping method. The name you set here is what users will see while checking out.

You can set the title from Free shipping to anything you want (for example, ‘No shipping fee’) but the method of shipment will remain the same.

2. Free shipping requirements :

You can either choose to give free shipping without any condition, or you can choose from 4 conditions to make free shipping applicable:

  • A valid free shipping coupon: The customer has to have a coupon to get free shipping
  • A minimum order amount: The customer has to order that’s worth a certain amount or more to get free shipping
  • A minimum order amount or a coupon: Customer can have either a free shipping coupon or a certain target amount worth of the order; any one of them will avail of free shipping
  • A minimum order amount AND a coupon: The customer needs to have a free shipping coupon and order a certain amount worth of order; both have to be achieved to avail of the free shipping option
  • Minimum order amount: In case you set the condition above to have a minimum order amount (i.e. you chose one of the last three options for “Free shipping requires“.

I will select the “No requirement” option.

Now, in the shipping method box, free shipping has been added. Now, look at the right side of the dashboard, you will find the option to edit.

edit free shipping option

Click on Edit and it will take you to the free shipping settings. Update any changes you want.

Your Free shipping method is set up.

The next shipping method is flat rate shipping :

ii. Flat Rate Shipping Method

Flat-rate shipping charges a fixed rate for shipping.

To set this method up, follow the steps below :

To access Flat Rate Settings, Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones > Shipping method.

flat rate

Then choose the option flat rate and click on the button Continue.

It will take you to the flat rate settings.

flat rate set up

In the Flat Rate Settings, you have to enter your estimated cost, shipping class cost, and some other relevant information accordingly.

Terms you need to know :

  • Method Title: This is the name of your shipping method. The name you set here is what users will see while checking out. You can set the title from Flat Rate to anything you want (for example, ‘Flat shipping fee’) but the method of shipment will remain the same.
  • Tax status: Choose whether shipping products are taxable or not.
  • Cost: It is the base cost you set, that adds up as the initial flat rate cost. It is charged for all the products even if they don’t fall in any specific class.
  • Shipping Class Cost: Set an additional cost you want to imply on your products that fall under certain shipping classes. For example, I have set my shipping class cost to 5 for the class ‘Heavy’. Anyone who is buying an item that falls under the class ‘Heavy’, will be charged an additional $5, along with the flat rate cost.
  • No Shipping Class Cost: Set up your shipping rates for the products that fall under no specific classes. I set it up as 2. Anyone who is buying an item that falls into no shipping classes will get an extra charge of $2 along with the flat rate cost.
  • Calculation Type: When you have multiple shipping classes, you can choose the types of calculation you want to imply with your shipping classes cost. In the Flat rate method, you will have two ways to do that: Per Class & Per Order

After you fill up all box, click on the button “Create & Save

Now let’s look at the Local pickup shipping method.

iii. Local Pickup Shipping Method

Go to Shipping zone> shipping method> add shipping method> local shipping

Local shipping set up

This is what the Local pickup Settings look like :

add local shipping

Now click on the option “Enable local pickup”.

Scroll down and tick on the label line “Add a price for customers who choose local pickup”.

local shipping set up

By default, the local pickup shipping method is free. but if you can charge an extra fee for local pickup you can assign it here. Usually, store owners do not charge anything extra, but it is an option you can use.

Tax status: Here, you have the option to choose between Taxable or None.

local shipping set up

It is by default assigned as Taxable, which means when using a local pickup, store base taxes will apply regardless of customer address.

This is the ideal choice for most store owners, however, you can choose not to charge for taxes and select Non-Taxable instead.

Now, scroll down and you will see the option to pick locations. On the left side, you will see the button “Add pickup location

add local shipping

As you click, you see this page with these options :

add pick up location

Once these are inputted, click on the Save Changes button, and your Local pickup shipping method is set up.

How to Calculate Shipping Rates & fees

There are two calculation types available :

  • Per Class

For any order that will include products in multiple classes, the shipping class cost for each of those classes will be added on top of the flat rates.

Also if the order includes products with no particular class, then the cost for no shipping class will be present as well.

For instance, let’s assume that I have another shipping class named ‘Light’ and I assigned a shipping class cost of $3 to it.

Now, let’s say a buyer ordered 4 products, out of which two products fall under the class ‘Heavy’, one product falls under the class ‘Light’ and another falls under the no shipping class.

Then the total shipping cost will include a $2 charge for no shipping class cost, a $5 charge for the shipping class cost of ‘Heavy’, and a $3 charge for the shipping class cost of ‘Light’, on top of the flat rate cost of $5. So the total shipping cost will add up to $15.

  • Per Order

In this case, for any orders that will include products from multiple classes, the shipping class cost that is the highest among these classes will be added on top of the flat rate cost. Suppose, I have another shipping class named ‘Light’ and I assigned a shipping class cost of $3 to it.

Now, let’s say a buyer ordered 4 products, out of which two products fall under the class ‘Heavy’, one product falls under the class ‘Light’ and another falls under the no shipping class.

Here, among the three, the highest shipping class cost is $5. Hence, only $5 will be added on top of the flat rate cost, the other two shipping class costs will be ignored. Therefore, the total shipping cost will add up to $10.

Once these are inputted, click on the Save changes button, and your Flat rate shipping method is set up.

Set Up Payment Methods

In the WordPress dashboard, navigate to and click on the Payments tab within the WooCommerce > Settings menu.

Set Up Weight-based Shipping [Additional]

Some might think configuring WooCommerce shipping based on weight would be a hard task.

When you know the RIGHT process, it’s very simple.

Let us walk you through all the steps.

How to Turn On WooCommerce weight-based shipping class

Jump to WooCommerce >> Settings >> Shipping and add a shipping class.

I will name this WooCommerce weight-based shipping class:

Now, in the same way, create other classes for other weight ranges.

Next, you have to assign the classes to the products according to their weight categories.

For example, I have a product that is under kg, so I would send it to under the Up to kg class.

Looks like a time-consuming task, right? You can also bulk assign WooCommerce weight-based shipping classes.

Go to All Products and filter your products according to your requirements. Select all of them and click the Quick Edit button.

On the Quick Edit window, assign the appropriate class and update.

Finally, you need to create or edit a flat shipping method. Go to your designated shipping zone and add/edit the flat rate method.

Scroll down the flat rate window, and you will find all the classes you created.

Finally, set your rates for every class.

Integrate shipping with An Advanced Shipping Plugin

As you see in WooCommerce, you might not get every option you need.

You can integrate a shipping plugin into your WooCommerce. I am showing you a plugin named “Advanced Shipping

First, install and activate the plugin.

Now go to the Shipping zone > Shipping method>Advanced shipping.

Advanced shipping plugin

And now see how easy it is now to set up your shipping process. You will get all the options under one panel.

You don’t have to go back and forth to different pages to set up separately.

Step 4 – Use The Heureka XML Feed Template

1. If you look at the Feed Merchant dropdown button, there you will get another dropdown “Feed Type”, you can click here to set the type of this feed.

heureka feed- PFM

You can set different types of feeds depending on what types of feeds this merchant supports or what types of feeds this Product Feed Manager has the support for.

For Fruugo, CSV will be selected by default.

2. Now, in the attributes section, you will see that all the attributes are under the Required Attributes column, and their values are set according to the attributes under the Assigned Values column.

You can change any values to any attributes, simply click on the value dropdown, and select your preferred value.

All the required attributes will appear below. Now, most of the attributes will already be configured but notice that some of these attributes are unassigned.

Step 5 – Assign The Right Values To Unassigned Attributes

Most of the attributes are already configured. You need to assign values for the unassigned attributes.

  1. You will need to assign values for the following:
  • Manufacturer
    If you are the sole manufacturer of all of your products, you can set the type as Static and input your company name as the value.
    If you have different brand names for different products, you will have to save the value in a custom field or product attribute and then use that value here.
    **You may try using Perfect Brands for WooCommerce to assign the brand names more easily.
Manufacture Static
  • Category Text
    To assign the category text, you will need to use category mapping, which will be done in the next step. For now, leave it as it is.
  • Delivery date-
    If all of your products are in stock, then mark this attribute to static and assign the value as 0.

    If some products are subject to be in stock in a few days, then the value has to be saved in a field within the product and use that field value here.
Delivery Static
  1. Next, scroll up and Publish the feed.

Once the feed is published, it’s time to use Category Mapping.

Step 6 – Use Category Mapping Using The Accepted Heureka Category List

To use category mapping, first, you will need the category list supported by Heureka.

Then follow the instructions below.

  1. On your Dashboard menus, under Product Feed, click on Category Mapping. You will be taken to the category mapping page.

Complete Guide to Increase eCommerce Sales with Pricespy [2024]

Running an eCommerce business may seem hectic, but today, eCommerce is the most booming industry out there.

According to a global report, the e-commerce industry has seen over $5.8 trillion worth of sales in 2023 globally and is expected to grow to over $8 trillion by the end of 2027.

Now, despite generating so much revenue and sales, most consumers go online to compare the prices of products. And 87% of these consumers end up making online purchases sooner or later.

Thousands of people still go to compare prices through several price comparison sites such as Pricespy, Pricerunner, Pricechecker, etc.

Thus it is ideal for any online store to list its products on popular price comparison sites. Pricespy is currently the most popular price comparison site in Europe.

This means, that if you run an online store and deliver products in major countries in Europe, then you must list your products on Pricespy to increase sales.

What is Pricespy?

Pricespy product feed

Pricespy is a popular price comparison website that helps you find the best deals on a wide range of products. It allows you to compare prices from various retailers across different categories such as electronics, appliances, and more.

As a shopper, Pricespy enables you to make informed purchasing decisions by presenting comprehensive price information and product reviews in one place.

For sellers, listing products on Pricespy increases visibility and attracts price-sensitive customers looking for competitive deals.

It is a valuable tool for both consumers seeking the best prices and businesses aiming to reach a broader audience, especially in the competitive UK online marketplaces.

How does Pricespy work?

Pricespy works by aggregating product information and prices from various online retailers into a centralized platform. Here’s how it operates:

  1. Data Collection: Pricespy gathers product details, prices, and availability from participating retailers like you.
  2. Comparison: It compiles this information into a searchable database. It allows you to compare prices and features across different products and brands.
  3. User Interface: Customers can easily navigate through categories, view product reviews, and filter results based on their preferences.
  4. Seller Participation: You can list its products on Pricespy to increase visibility and attract customers looking for competitive deals.
  5. Decision-Making: Customers benefit from comprehensive price transparency and unbiased product reviews. It enables them to make informed purchasing decisions.

Pricespy’s platform facilitates a convenient and efficient way for consumers to find the best deals online while providing you with a valuable tool to enhance your market reach and sales potential.

Why You Should List Your Products on Pricespy?

Pricespy is currently the most trusted price comparison site around Europe with over 14 million regular users.

Let’s look at the reasons why Pricespy is ideal for you to list your products.

1. Genuine Intent to Increase Sales

If you are an online store owner, Pricespy helps you to increase your eCommerce sales.

  • When you list your products, they will be sorted into various categories.
  • When a consumer will search for a product, they will get a list of the best deals for that particular product.
  • If you are offering a good price and an overall good deal compared to others, your product will appear among the suggestions that the visitors will see.
  • Let’s say the consumer chooses your product. Click on it will redirect the consumer to the product page on your site, where he/she can complete the purchase.

Now, this sounds similar to most other such sites, however, Pricespy has a few perks that outweigh others.

i. Displays Honest Deals

Display Deals - Pricespy product feed

Other listing sites such as Google Shopping or Facebook Ads have packages where paying higher can increase views. Pricespy has no such policy.

When a consumer searches for a product, he/she will get a genuine list of the best deals for that product from the lowest price to the highest.

So if you are offering a good deal, you will surely make money.

ii. Offers Price Prediction Graphs

Pricespy offers a unique service to consumers with a Price Prediction Graph. They have an artificial intelligence tool of their own called USP, which compares price changes in the past and the current market, and predicts what a product price might change into.

This can be used by consumers to decide when to purchase a product, and at the same time, it can be used by sellers to decide when to release good discount deals.

For example, if you see that the price of a product will fall next month, you can decide to give a discount offer beforehand to increase your sales as much as possible, before the fall in the market price.

In this way, even if a consumer sees that the price will fall later, your discount might tempt them to make an immediate purchase.

If the market price falls later, your current production cost will make it difficult to get a good profit at that time. So selling more of your products earlier will be more beneficial for your shop.

iii. Affordable Collaboration

Along with the above advantages you get, the cost of posting in Pricespy is absolutely nothing. They have a fair Cost Per Click (CPC) payment policy depending on the click volume. So if you are not getting results here, you will not have to pay.

They do have a paid feature, ‘Featured Shop’, however, it’s not what it sounds like. You might think a featured shop will probably be highlighted uniquely or will be displayed at the top of the list. But that’s not the case here.

In Pricespy, it will allow you to display your logo in the listing results rather than the name only, it will allow you to add a biography, and it will also add a ‘Cheapest on PriceSpy’ tag if your deal is cheapest for a certain product.

Apart from that, it gives you an analytics board to keep track of your product performance and changes the fees into a fixed Cost Per Click amount regardless of the click volume. These are the two features why most people sign up for the featured shop.

Your advantage here is that others cannot get too many special preferences just by paying extra. If you are offering good deals, you will get the value you deserve on the listing.

2. Huge Reach

Pricespy currently operates in 7 different European regions with their respective local domains (in local languages).

CountryWebsite
UK & Irelandhttps://pricespy.co.uk/

Swedenhttps://www.prisjakt.nu/
Norwayhttps://www.prisjakt.no/
Finlandhttps://hintaopas.fi/
Denmarkhttps://prisjagt.dk/
Francehttps://ledenicheur.fr/

It originated in Sweden as Prisjakt and has expanded to the above regions, while already gaining people’s favor locally and globally.

Most English-speaking people in any of these regions prefer using Pricespy UK rather than using the local sites. However, that’s not where it ends. Pricespy UK is also used by people overseas who wish to order products from the UK.

The site has regular users from the USA, Australia, India, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and many other countries. So, if you sell products globally, this site is a sure way to reach ideal prospects.

3. High Regular Traffic

High Regular Traffic - Pricespy product feed

There is a reason why Pricespy decided to have local sites for the above-mentioned regions. It’s due to the huge traffic the site gets regularly.

Being the #1 price comparison site, Pricespy gets tons of regular visitors every day and results in tons of sales.

Here’s a chart (compiled using Ahref and Alexa) that will give you an idea of the number of visitors Pricespy gets in each of their regions:

CountryAhref Traffic AnalysisAlexa Rank & Stats

**Daily time on site means the average time spent by every visitor per day.

As you can see, each of these sites has a high number of monthly visitors. This is a plus sign for you if you list your products on these sites.

Also, notice that visitors to all of these sites spend more than 1 minute (on average) daily. This is considered highly engaging. Any site with a daily time above 45 seconds is considered a quality and well-preferred site.

All these are proof that people regularly buy products through the help of this website which is earning revenue for many online stores.

4. Trusted Overseas

Here’s another great advantage of listing your products on Pricespy. Other than huge local visitors, Pricespy is also used by people overseas, who wish to order products from the UK.

Here are stats of the number of visitors Pricespy gets from a few overseas countries.

CountryTraffic Volume
USA63,828 /month
Australia2,019 /month
India1,036 /month
Canada886 /month
Germany854 /month
Italy588 /month
Netherlands502 /month

This is promising for any online store that delivers globally. Hence you have an opportunity to expand.

5. Engaging Mobile App

Pricespy Mobile App

Pricespy launched its mobile app which helped increase its usage even further.

The app comes in 7 different languages:

  • English
  • Danish
  • Finnish
  • French
  • Norwegian
  • Bokmål
  • Swedish

This is a great advantage because more than half the online consumers prefer using mobile apps to make purchases. Hence, this will increase the possibility of you getting more sales.

Currently, the app is regularly used by over 5 million Android users and tons of Apple users as well.

Now that you know all the advantages you can get just by listing your products in Pricespy, let us look at how you can start listing your products here.

How to List Your Products on Pricespy Accurately

First of all, keep in mind, that Pricespy will not list any non-branded products. So, for any products you submit here, you must submit a brand name.

For in-house products, they too need to have a brand name, possibly under your company name. Now, in order to list your products on Pricespy, you will need the following.

Signing Up As A Retailer On Pricespy

Signing up is completely free. The idea is to make sure that even very small shops can benefit from the site along with large stores.

However, there is a certain set of requirements that needs to be met. In this guide, I will elaborate on how you can get registered on Pricespy UK.

It’s a simple process. To get registered on their UK platform you will need to meet the following requirements:

  • You must sell at least one product within the categories of PriceSpy.
  • The website must be in English (language).
  • Products prices on your site must be in GBP (currency).
  • You must be able to take online orders via your website (or email).
  • The company policy should comply with all laws and regulations; nothing illegal is allowed.
  • You must submit your Company number or VAT number to Pricespy
  • You need to comply with UK Government policy on online selling and state the VAT number on your site.

After you register, if your shop is a British legal entity, then it will be listed with a UK flag next to its name.

And, if you own a non-EU company, then you must either be VAT registered in the EU countries where you wish to sell your products or be registered via the EU-service “VAT Mini One Stop Shop” (VAT MOSS). See details on Non-Union VAT MOSS here.

Here’s a copy of the Registration form:

Pricespy registration form

Simply fill out the form with all the required details.

The field ‘URL to product feed is where you can put the link to the price list you create for your products. If you don’t have that ready yet, you can leave it blank for now.

The shop category is important. Pricespy lets you choose from the following shop categories:

  • Various
  • Audio & Video
  • Beauty & Health
  • Camera & Photo
  • Computers & Accessories
  • Fashion & Accessories
  • Gamer Zone
  • Games & Consoles
  • Home & Garden
  • Phones & GPS
  • Sports & Outdoors
  • White Goods & Household Appliances

If you sell products from different niches in one shop, then you can choose ‘Various’. However, if you sell products within a single niche, then it’s best to choose one of the other categories.

This is because consumers have the option to get notifications and updates on Shopping categories. Choosing ‘Various’ reduces your shop’s visibility in any individual category.

Once you register, your application will be reviewed and you will get a confirmation e-mail with instructions for using Pricespy.

After that, the next step is to submit the Price List of your products.

How to Generate And Upload an Accurate Product Price List on Pricespy?

Accurate Price List - Pricespy product feed

When you create your product price list, you will need to include a few specific data.

Let us look into what data you must include on your price list and I will give you examples for each data so that you know the most optimized way to generate it.

Pricespy accepts either a Text format with tab delimiters or an XML format, although they prefer you to submit the Text format.

*I will provide you with a sample feed template to understand how the data should be submitted for your products

Now, Pricespy requires the following attribute values for each of your products to be included in the price list:

Mandatory Attributes

  • Product ID / Article Number
  • Product Name
  • Productcategorie
  • Product URL
  • Prijs van het product
  • Condition / Product Format
  • Availability
  • Brand / Manufacturer

Recommended (but optional) Attributes

  • Product Image links
  • MPN / Manufacturer SKU
  • EAN-13 / GTIN-13
  • Shipping Fees
  • Total Price
  • Productbeschrijving
  • Stock Status
  • Colour or pattern
  • Gender and audience
  • Product Size
  • Multi-pack or bundle

Now, you must include all the data listed under the Mandatory Attributes. The recommended attributes are strongly advised to be used for better results in the listings.

Below is a more detailed explanation with examples of how each of these attributes should be assigned on your Pricespy price list for the maximum output.

After learning about the attributes in detail, you will get a sample of a Pricespy price list to get a clear idea. Now, let’s get into the details to understand what values you should assign to each attribute.

Producteigenschappen uitgelegd

For each of the attributes, Pricespy has its own set of instructions that you need to follow.

Here I will give you examples and tips on how to make sure the data is not rejected and are optimized for better results.

Product ID

AttribuutProduct ID or Article Number
**Here you can either submit Product ID or Article Number
Voorbeeld241

This is a unique value for each product, to identify it in your store. It is limited to 36 characters.

For this, you can either use the value of the Product ID or the SKU of the product in your store.

**SKU is also unique for each product and can be used for the same purpose.

Product Name

AttribuutProduct name
VoorbeeldRFL White Electronic Blender

It is the name of the product to be displayed. When you set the product title, make sure it includes the product title, along with the model name/number.

Also, specify any special feature such as its color, material, model year, etc on the title if possible, especially for variations of the certain product.

If there is a separate brand name that people may recognize your product by, that is different from the manufacturer name you submitted, then you must include the brand name in the Product name.

For example, if you submit the Manufacturer as Today Electronics, but the brand name of the product is RFL, then include RFL in the product name (as shown in the example in the table).

Certain products may have different pack sizes (such as perfume, shampoo, and food). In this case, you need to specify the volume or weight in the product name.

If it is bundled or multiple packs of products, this should also be stated in the product name.

These tips are important to follow to get better chances of being relevant to a user’s search term, thus more chance of being listed when searched for.

Productcategorie

AttribuutCategory
VoorbeeldKitchen Appliances > Electronics For Kitchen

This is the category of the product. You must include the full category including sub-categories, in a tree structure.

The categories you submit should be based on the product type and not brand or any other aspects such as sales category, color, trademark, etc.

Pricespy will only accept the submission of one category, so you cannot submit multiple categories for the same product.

In this case, I suggest you use certain category mapping tools to ensure the right category tree is assigned.

If you own a WooCommerce store, you can use the plugin Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce which has a great category mapping feature to help you set the categories accurately.

**Browse through Pricespy and find out how other products, similar to yours, are categorized, and try to assign similar categories to your products when mapping.

Product URL

AttribuutURL
Voorbeeldhttps://www.yourwebsite.com/rlf-white-electronic-blender/

This is the link to your product page. If the product page doesn’t have a URL of its own, you can use the URL for the category page.

If there are parameters in the product URL to differentiate between variants of a product such as color or size, the parameter must be included in the link; do not just give the URL of the basic product page.

**Do not include any UTM tracking code in the URL. For UTM tracking, submit a separate attribute called UTM, with the value of the UTM code.

Prijs van het product

AttribuutPrice or Price (without VAT)
**Here you can either submit Price or Price (without VAT)
VoorbeeldExample: 85.09 GBP

This is the price of the product to be displayed when listed, excluding shipping fees. I suggest you submit the price with VAT.

If you submit the price without VAT included, then rather use the attribute name Price (without VAT) to specify this to Pricespy.

The price you submit should match the price shown on your product page, and the currency should be GBP for the UK market.

Condition / Product Format

AttribuutCondition or Product Format
**Here you can either submit Condition or Product Format
VoorbeeldDemo

Use this attribute to indicate the current condition of the product or the format of the product.

Dit zijn de geaccepteerde waarden voor de conditie:

  • New – to indicate that is a brand new product and intact
  • Demo – to indicate that this is a preview of the product.
  • Used – to indicate that the product was refurbished or unpacked
  • Download – to indicate that this is a digital product to be downloaded

If all the products in your price list it in new condition and are physical products, then you can avoid submitting this attribute at all.

Availability

AttribuutAvailability
VoorbeeldCan not be ordered

Use this attribute to indicate if a product is currently available for shipping, if a certain product in the price list cannot be ordered immediately, or if it doesn’t accept home delivery.

These are the accepted conditional values for availability:

  • Available – to indicate that the product is in stock and can be ordered
  • Can not be ordered – to indicate that it is not available for ordering at the time being
  • Pickup – to indicate that this product has to be physically collected; no home delivery

Brand / Manufacturer

AttribuutManufacturer
VoorbeeldRexSupplies

It is mandatory to provide the brand/manufacturer to add products on Pricespy. Ideally, you should also mention the brand name on the product title.

In case you are a renounced manufacturer but are selling products with another brand, then you probably want to represent your company name as the Manufacturer’s name.

In that case, you must include the product brand name in the Product name. Certain products may be accepted without submitting this attribute.

These include

  • Movies
  • Books
  • Music Records

Other than these 3 types of products, any other products with missing brands or incorrectly defined brands will not be indexed or listed.

Product Image links

AttribuutImage links
Voorbeeldhttps://www.yourwebsite.com/productimage.png

You may submit 1 or more image links for the product. The first link will be considered the primary image in case you submit multiple links.

Make sure the image has no watermarks brand seals, or any such marks on it. It’s advised to use high-resolution images of the product with a white background.

Also, the image should match various details that you include on the Product Name such as the color or the size.

For example, if the name of a product is White Blender, then the image should also include a Blender that is White color.

Pricespy will list your products even if you do not submit image links, however, we strongly advise you to provide at least 1 image link for better results in the listing.

MPN / Manufacturer SKU

AttribuutMPN or manufacturer SKU
**Here you can either submit MPND or manufacturer SKU
VoorbeeldPH0011

Here you need to provide the product MPN code of your products.

In case you do not have an MPN, you may use the SKU as the value (provided that you did not use the SKU as the Product ID.

It is not mandatory to include this attribute, but it is highly recommended to help with faster, more accurate indexing.

**MPN for each product is unique.

EAN-13 / GTIN-13

AttribuutEAN-13 or GTIN-13
**Here you can either submit EAN-13 or GTIN-13
Voorbeeld4129179234125

A product that is manufactured in Europe usually has an EAN. Similarly, a product manufactured in the US or Canada comes with a GTIN.

If you have the EAN-13 or GTIN-13 barcodes for your products, then you may submit them through this attribute.

This is optional data to provide, but submitting it helps with an accurate listing.

Shipping Fees

AttribuutShipping
Voorbeeld5 GBP

You can submit the shipping fees for your products.

The shipping fee may vary depending on the product, so it is not necessary that you have to assign a fixed shipping fee.

Total Price

AttribuutTotal Price (with VAT) or Total Price (without VAT)
**Here you can either submit the Total Price (with VAT) or the Total Price (without VAT)
VoorbeeldExample: 90.09 GBP

Rather than submitting a separate shipping fee, you can choose to submit a total price which is basically, the shipping fees added to the product price.

If you wish to submit the Total Price including VAT then use the attribute Total Price (with VAT).

If you wish to submit the Total Price excluding the VAT, then use the attribute Total Price (without VAT).

**You can either submit a shipping fee or the total price. If you submit both, Pricespy will keep the Shipping and exclude the Total Price attribute.

Productbeschrijving

AttribuutProduct description
VoorbeeldThis blender is super efficient and takes up less electricity than others.

You can add a short description of the product you are selling. Try to highlight all the major features it may have included in any features that you did not include in the Product Name.

This is optional data you may submit; we advise you to submit it to attract more prospects.

Stock Status

AttribuutStock status
VoorbeeldOp voorraad

This attribute indicates the stock status of the products in the shop. It is not mandatory to submit this attribute, but it helps to enhance the search results on the listing.

The stock status value you submit is conditional. It must be relative to the value you submitted under Availability. The following are the accepted values for the stock status:

  • In stock: To indicate that the product is available and can be delivered to the customer within six business days.
  • Out of stock: To indicate that the product is out of stock in the shop.
  • Incoming [date]: To indicate that the product is not in stock at the moment, but is expected to be available on the given date
  • Pre-order [date]: To indicate that the product is not released yet, but it will be released on the given date and can be pre-ordered from your website

You can use ‘In stock’ only when you submit Availability as ‘Available’.

Use ‘Out of stock’, ‘Incoming [date]’ or Pre-order [date] when you submit Availability as ‘Can not be ordered’

Do not submit a Stock Status if you submit Availability as ‘Pickup’.

**If you do choose to submit the stock status, then make sure it matches the instructions above. Incorrect submission of the Stock Status for any product will result in Pricespy hiding that product from the listing.

Color or Pattern

AttribuutColor or pattern
VoorbeeldStripped Marble Green/White

For certain types of products such as Apparel & Accessories, it is more logical to specify the color or pattern since buyers look into these aspects when buying such products.

Submit the actual color or pattern assigned by the manufacturer if possible.

As you can see, the example in the table, Stripped Marble Green/White is not a generic color or pattern; it was assigned by the manufacturer.

Gender and Audience

AttribuutGender and audience
VoorbeeldUnisex

Certain products are made for people of a specific gender or age group. For example, a skirt for women or a toy for children.

In such cases, you may submit the target gender or audience for the product. You may use the following values:

  • Women – if the product is for an adult lady
  • Men – if the product is for an adult man
  • Unisex – to indicate the product is usable by any gender
  • Girl – if it is for a teenage girl
  • Boy – if it is for a teenage boy
  • Child – to indicate that the product is for children

This attribute is optional. You only need to submit it if you did not include the value of the Product name.

Product Size

AttribuutGrootte
VoorbeeldUK12

For certain products such as shoes or T-shirts, a buyer will always look into the size. So you can submit the size of the product using this attribute.

Make sure to indicate the size type such as EU45 or US11 or UK12, to understand which size type the buyers are dealing with.

For example, you can submit the size as UK12, and if the buyer is from the US, then he/she can convert it from the UK to the US size and decide if this is the right size to buy.

If you have a product with multiple sizes available, you may submit all of them with a ‘/’ in between for example EU45 /E42 / EU40.

Multi-pack or bundle

AttribuutMulti-pack or bundle
VoorbeeldBundel

If you wish to submit a bundle or multi-pack offer from within your shop, and not the actual product manufacturer, you can use this attribute.

For example, let’s say you have the products Shampoo, Hair Conditioner, and Hair Serum. In your shop, you created a bundle with these items. You can submit that bundle as a product in Pricespy. In that case, you need to include this attribute and set the value as ‘Bundle’.

You can use the following values:

  • No: Indicate that the product is not a multi-pack or bundle created by your shop (or you may keep it blank).
  • Multi-pack: If you submit a multi-pack offer created by your shop.
  • Bundle: If you submit a bundle offer created within your shop.

Although this seems beneficial, I advise you not to submit your own created bundles or multi-packs to Pricespy as it may confuse buyers. You can avoid using this attribute by adding “bundle by (your shop name)” to the product names of the bundles you submit. For example, “Shampoo Combo bundle by RexSupplies”.

That’s it. By following the instructions above when including data in the price list, you can expect successful approval by Pricespy and optimization for better results in the listing.

Sample Price List of A Product for Pricespy

Here’s a sample of a price list for a single product in text format (with the mandatory attributes included),

One advantage you have with Pricespy is that, unlike most other listing sites, if you submit extra attributes, that are not among the ones mentioned above, they are not entirely ignored.

After pre-scanning, if any such values are traced that are not part of the expected attributes, Pricespy initiates review by a live agent, i.e., manual review.

How to Generate The Price List for Pricespy Easily?

Now comes the question, how will you generate the price list?

Manually creating it will take hours of your time, in case you have over 50 products. In that case, you can look for product feed generation tools to help you out.

If you are using WooCommerce, then it’s even easier for you. Simply use the plugin Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce.

Pricespy product feed

The plugin has the template of Pricespy already created. All you need to do is assign the target values and the plugin will generate the price list in minutes.

I mentioned earlier that to create categories, you will need category mapping. This plugin already has this feature.

Following are the mandatory attributes you need to submit for each of your products to list them on the Trovaprezzi marketplace.

  • Name: It is the name of the product, along with the model name. Do not include any promotional tag lines or phrases.

  • Code: You need to submit a unique product ID as the code. You can use the product IDs or the product SKU in your WooCommerce store for this attribute.

  • Description: In the description, you have to discuss the use and features of the product. You can also mention the compatibility, specifications, and variation details along with the product description.
    • You can use HTML tags to structure the description properly.
    • I advise you not to be too promotional as they tend to bring fewer results in this marketplace.

  • Categories: Include the entire category tree, from the parent category to the last child category, that a product can fall under.
    • You can use a comma (“,”) or semicolon (“;”) as the separator between the categories.

  • Image: Include a link to the main image of the product.
    • Make sure the image over-edited.
    • Avoid including watermarks, slogans, or promotional phrases in the image.
    • You must submit at least one image for each of your products to be listed on Trovaprezzi.

  • Link: This is the link to the product on your site.

  • Original Price: This is the base price of the product.
    • Do not include the currency along with the price. Normally people run discount campaigns when promoting Trovarprezzi. The original price still needs to be submitted so that Trovaprezzi can show the users the original price on which they are getting the discount.

  • Prijs: If you are running discounts on your products, then submit the discounted price using this attribute. However, if you are not running a discount, then submit this attribute with the same value as the Original Price.
    • Do not include the currency along with the price.

  • Shipping Cost: Trovaprezzi is very strict about accuracy and needs you to submit an accurate shipping cost for the products that you are availing on your site. For example, let’s say you have an Air Cooler, that you are selling at a free shipping cost. So the Shipping Cost for this will be 0. Now, let’s say you are delivering an Air Conditioner at a shipping cost of 10 GBP, then you need to submit this attribute for the Air Conditioner with the value of 10.
    • Do not include the currency along with the cost.

  • Brand: If you are the main manufacturer, then use your company name as the brand name. However, if you sell various products from different providers, then include the actual brand name using this attribute.

  • EAN Code: EAN is a unique identifier that exists for all original manufactured products. You have to submit an accurate EAN code for all products you include in the product feed.

  • Part Number: The Part Number also referred to as MPN, is provided by the manufacturer of most electronic goods. If you have the original MPN of your products, then include them here, or you can use your product SKU instead.

  • Weight: You have to submit the weight of the products you are listing on Trovaprezzi. The weight is measured in kg. So do not submit any unit; just input the numerical value in terms of kg.

  • Stock: This is the number of a certain product you have available in stock.

PFM premium features

So as you can see, we have introduced a few more impressive features that will help you generate product feeds more efficiently and without any hassle.

Let us look at the new features of Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce.

1. Grote hoeveelheden productvoer genereren zonder problemen

Het is altijd een grote zorg over de efficiëntie bij het genereren van productvoer voor een groot aantal producten.

Er zijn veel tools die vaak overbelast raken en niet goed voer genereren. Ze stoppen na het genereren van een paar duizend productaanvoer of ze crashen gewoon. Ook zullen sommige tools beweren dat de productfeed volledig wordt gegenereerd, maar als u de feed controleert, zult u zien dat er verschillende gegevens ontbreken. 

Unlike most other such plugins, Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce generates feed using batch processing.

Which means, there is no chance of getting overloaded. Whether you have 50 products or 50,000 products or more, it does not matter; the plugin will successfully generate a product feed without any flaws.

2. Aangepaste velden voor identificatoren (Pro) 

Some products have assigned GTIN, MPN, UPC, or other forms of such product identifiers.

Om producten op Google Shopping te promoten, moet u ten minste één van deze identifiers opgeven, als u de merknaam van uw product wilt bekendmaken.

Zoals u weet, biedt WooCommerce dergelijke velden niet standaard aan. Dus uw opties zouden zijn om aangepaste velden te gebruiken, handmatig attributen toe te voegen aan de feed, of een andere plugin te gebruiken om deze velden toe te voegen.

But now, you will not need to do any extra work. Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce now helps you to get these fields.

Aangepaste velden toevoegen

U hoeft alleen maar de juiste gegevens in te voeren en de productaanvoer te genereren. 

Voor een enkel product zouden deze velden handmatig kunnen worden toegevoegd met behulp van WooCommerce aangepaste velden, maar hoe zit het met variabele producten?

Om u te laten weten dat de identifiers uniek zijn voor elke variatie van een product onder hetzelfde merk. WooCommerce staat alleen toe om aangepaste velden toe te voegen voor het moederproduct, niet de variaties.

Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce gives you the solution to this. The custom fields you get with our plugin will add the identifier fields within each variation for variable products.

Aangepaste velden voor variabele producten

Dat scheelt u veel complicaties.

You don’t need to use any extra plugins or get expert assistance to add the custom fields. Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce will help you add these fields without any extra effort.

Enabling custom identifier fields:
If you have activated the license for Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce Pro, then you should be able to enable or disable custom identifier fields from the dashboard.

Go to Dashboard > Product Feed> Settings. On the top, go to the tab called Controls.

Besturingselementen

Zodra u daarheen gaat, krijgt u de optie om aangepaste identificatievelden in of uit te schakelen.

Identificatoren inschakelen

Zo simpel is het.

3. Aangepaste velden voor extra attributen (Pro)

Some attributes are very important for prospects to make decisions but WooCommerce doesn’t have fields for that. For example, age group, size, material, etc.

Also, if you have apparel products, to promote them on Google Shopping, it is mandatory to provide extra data which includes size, pattern, material, age group, and gender, for which each product is suitable.

You can add the custom fields for these attributes through Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce.

Voor enkelvoudig product:

Enkelvoudig product Custom Attribute toegevoegd

Voor variabele producten:

Variabel product Custom Attribute toegevoegd

Due to this, you can easily assign these attributes and use them for generating product feeds.

Enabling custom attribute fields:
If you have activated the license for Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce Pro, then you should be able to enable or disable custom attribute fields from the dashboard.

Ga naar Dashboard > productaanvoer > Instellingen. Ga bovenaan naar het tabblad Controls.

Besturingselementen

Zodra u daarheen gaat, krijgt u de optie om aangepaste attribuutvelden in of uit te schakelen.

Aangepaste attribuutvelden inschakelen

Als u deze velden eenmaal hebt, is er dus geen kans meer dat u informatie mist bij het uploaden van producten naar andere handelswinkels.

4. eBay MIP-feedgeneratie 

Voederformaten zijn cruciaal bij het uploaden op andere platformen. Sommige platformen hebben echter verschillende feedformaten. eBay MIP is daar één van.

You can generate a product feed for eBay MIP in the correct format using Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce.

Most merchant shops accept a feed format similar to what Google accepts. But eBay MIP requires a completely unique feed format.

Hier is een blik op de verschillen:

Google en eBay-feedformaat vergelijken

Nou, met behulp van WooCommerce Product Feed Manager, krijgt u de feed formaat vereist door eBay MIP zonder enige fouten.

So maybe it’s time you promote on eBay MIP as well.

5. Meer verbazingwekkende winkel winkel feed sjablonen 

The improved WooCommerce Product Feed Manager also supports major merchant shops.

As you know, different merchant shops have different feed formats, it is difficult to read and apply their instructions and create product feed manually.

You don’t need to. We have done that for you. Now, you will be able to generate product feeds for over 20 merchant shops.

Apart from these merchant shops in the free plugin,

Once you upgrade to Pro, you will also be able to generate a product feed for the following:

Al deze handelsplatformen zijn zeer populair en als u internationaal opereert, kunt u profiteren van promotie op welke manier u maar wilt.

Daarnaast zijn er tonnen nieuwe handelaren toegevoegd in de gratis versie. Je kunt ze hier bekijken: Alle ondersteunde marktplaatsen.

Het mogelijk maken van meer merchant feed formaten:
Ga naar
Dashboard > productfeed > Instellingen om de extra handelsformaten van de productfeed te activeren. Ga bovenaan naar de tab Merchants.

Handelaren tabblad

Zodra u daarheen gaat, krijgt u de optie om feedgeneratie in of uit te schakelen voor elke ondersteunde winkel.

Alle ondersteunde handelaren

Here, enable the ones you wish to promote, and then go ahead and generate a product feed to upload on those platforms.

Komende functies 

We werken aan het toevoegen van meer en meer functies, zodat u gemakkelijker feed kunt genereren en een tool hebt die waar voor zijn geld biedt.

Amazone Auto-Sync - Amazone is een groot platform. We proberen verbinding te maken met Amazon en een auto-synchronisatie functie voor Amazon op te zetten. Dit zal zeker veel tijd en moeite besparen.

>>E-mail product feed – You will be able to send the generated feed via e-mail to anyone you want. If you have someone else handling a certain merchant account for you, you can simply generate a product feed, and e-mail it to him. This feature is in the process of creation.

Er zijn nog veel meer nieuwe functies die nog moeten worden ontwikkeld.

Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce is a stable and powerful tool that you can benefit from.

How to Create A Virtual Tour For Real Estate to Increase Property Sales [2025]

The number of realtors is now rapidly increasing.

According to Statista, number of home sales have been fallen from 5.03M to 4.09M in 2023 compared to previous year.

However, the number of licensed realtors in the USA increased to over 2 million in 2023 compared to 1.6 million in 2022.

As a realtor, you must find new ways to stay ahead of the high competition and attract more potential buyers.

One of the best ways to connect with clients in 2024 is to use real estate virtual tours.

The fact is, people no longer want to watch polished images and optimized videos to choose properties.

Your only options would be to make them visit your properties or get a virtual walkthrough of the homes for sale.

Today, you will learn how you can create a virtual tour for real estate easily.

Eventually, you will be able to create stunning virtual tours of homes for sale to attract the right buyers.

So let’s begin.

Benefits Of Virtual Tour For Real Estate To Sell Properties

It’s 2024. Even Zillow started using virtual tours a long time ago. As a realtor, you must accept that virtual tours for the real estate sector are now an essential element in your sales strategy.

Your Buyers Expect A Virtual Tour

As more and more realtors are using commercial real estate virtual tours to sell and rent their properties, your clients are now getting used to experiencing VR property tours.

According to the annual report by the National Association of Realtors:

  • 54% of the buyers will not look up to a property if it doesn’t have 360-degree images.
  • 50% of the buyers found virtual tours really useful.

This indicates that if you do not use visual tours, there is a possibility that you may end up losing up to half of your potential buyers to your competitors.

Having said that, there are more reasons why a commercial virtual tour for real estate can help you to sell more properties effectively.

i. Keep Visitors Engaged & Connected

A virtual tour will create more engagement than regular flat images as the viewers feel like they are taking an actual live tour.

Integrating virtual tours into listings for shared apartments can significantly enhance the appeal to potential renters by providing a comprehensive view of the communal living spaces and amenities.

Since the view seems realistic, they will know exactly how the property is built and if it’s something they would like in real life.

Images make it difficult to imagine the house in reality – after a visit, you may notice some areas are smaller than expected or less coordinated than in the images.

A virtual tour will help avoid this sort of situation to a great extent.

ii. Trigger Buyers To Make A Decision

Usually, a buyer tends to look into several listings based on his budget and location preference before inquiring about the ones he finds suitable as per the images. If you create a virtual tour, you can have a chance to land a deal more easily.

Basically, people already know that images can be altered and misleading at times. Plus, useful information on the home listing page can not be easy to relate to while looking at the images.

Hence buyers tend to call several agents to find out more about the houses and often visit multiple properties before making a decision. (Your time invested can not always be fruitful.)

With a virtual tour, you have the option to add relevant information at the right spots via tooltips or click-to-view content within the tour.

This will help to eliminate all unnecessary questions and convince a few to make a temporary decision. When they call you, it will be much easier for you to invite them for a live visitation.

These people are already interested, and you will have a greater chance of closing the deal during the live tours of houses.

According to Property Week, using virtual tours will reduce the number of your wasted viewings by 40%.

iii. No More Wasted House Visits

As a real estate agent, one of the most irritating issues you have to face is wasted viewings of your properties.

Many people visit the properties, and you take time and effort to give them a good tour, but most of them end up declining your offers.

If someone requests a live visit after taking a virtual tour, then he/she is probably serious about the deal, thus increasing the possibility of closing deals for your property with less effort. If you’re dealing with niche properties like tiny homes, virtual tours can help attract only genuinely interested buyers.

Steps to Create A Real Estate Virtual Tour

Now that you know the benefits of using a virtual tour for real estate to sell more properties, let us look at how to make a virtual tour for real estate.

1. How To Take 360 Photos Of Your Properties

The first step of this process is to take 360 panoramic images of your houses or properties, which you can then convert into a 360 virtual tour.

In this case, you have 5 possible options:

  • Use a professional assistant to capture & edit 360 images. The best option is always to get professional help. But sometimes, the expenses can not result in a good ROI. So you have to be calculative in terms of expenses before seeking professional virtual tour creators.
  • Get a tripod & DSLR to capture images in all directions and stitch them into a panoramic image. In this case, you have to capture images at fixed angles in all directions manually, after that use a stitching app to turn them into a 360 panoramic image.
  • Use 360 panorama apps on your iPhone. If you don’t have an iPhone, don’t worry you can also use an Android app to take 360 panoramas. You can also use You will find amazing apps to help you capture great panoramic images via a guided photo session.
  • Capture 360 images using a drone. Aerial photography using drones can be an amazing experience while delivering high-quality output.
  • Use a QR code for photo sharing. QR codes are a convenient way to share your 360 images. It allows prospects to access them with just a simple scan. Placing them on any marketing collateral will help you promote your property.

Your panoramic images together will become a 360 virtual tour using the right VR software.

2. Choosing The Right Virtual Tour Software

You want to make sure you can create a property virtual tour that not only gives a realistic tour but also keeps the visitors engaged with the right details.

Now I am going to help you choose the right tool to make a virtual tour of real estate.

Crucial Features To Look For In An Ideal Real Estate Virtual Tour Software

Essential Elements For Virtual Tour - Real Estate Virtual Tour

i. Ability To Display Information Inside The Virtual Tour

You can make the tour more meaningful for your buyers while property searches by providing additional information on the property before visiting.

So, you will need a virtual tour creator that will allow you to place relevant information at suitable spots in the tour.

Information Inside Virtual Tour - Real Estate Virtual Tour
GIF In Virtual Tour - Real Estate Virtual Tour

For example, let’s say the fireplace is an exotic one. You may include a tooltip on top of the fireplace where people can hover to learn what type of fireplace it is, along with a preview of how it looks when lit.

Or, let’s say there is a swimming pool on the property. Then you can let people click on an icon to learn about its dimensions.

You may even consider providing information such as the floor type, ceiling material, etc. All of these will make it easier for the buyer to realize if this is what he/she is looking for. So find a tool that lets you add such engaging materials.

ii. Make It Easy To Contact You

After taking the tour, you would want the visitor to contact you ASAP. Hence, you have to make it easy for the buyer to reach out to you if they like what they see.

The best option here would be to include a contact form within the tour.

Since the buyer is interested, why make him look for your contact details elsewhere? Simply get him to book a call with you during the tour.

This means the contact form is an important feature you want to have in your virtual tour creator. You might also consider using a software localization platform to translate your website and contact form into multiple languages, making it accessible to a wider global audience.

iii. Use Company Branding

While contacting you is great, many may still want to decide on this later. Hence, you need to find a way to create a place in the prospect’s mind so that he trusts you in dealing with the house.

In that case, you can include your Company logo on a corner of the virtual tour for real estate so that clicking on it will give people further details about your business location, the service you offer, and additional contact information.

Company information - Real Estate Virtual Tour

This is partially a brand promotion. People will remember you more easily if they see your logo. Plus, it will help to gain trust now that they know you have a physical location.

It will also help your re-targeting Ads to get noticed more effectively. So, branding opportunity is a good feature to have in your VR software.

iv. Option To Include A Gallery To View All Available Scenes

The easier your buyers can navigate the tour, the more time they’ll spend on it.

If the property has a lot of rooms or scenes, then the virtual tour for real estate can be confusing when navigating back and forth between different scenes in the tour.

A logical thing to do here is to include a gallery that will show all the available rooms/scenes on the property, which people can click to view right away.

v. Cover Every Inch Of The Property For An Interactive Tour

Keep in mind that the virtual tour for real estate should be a replication of a real-life tour. So make sure you manage to highlight all the rooms or views of the property.

For example, if a house has 5 rooms, then you should include at least 5 scenes in the virtual tour (1 for each from the middle of the room).

Plus, it’s an added benefit if you include scenes for the restrooms, kitchen, front yard, and backyard. For a duplex, a view from the stairs will be great.

Now, your tool should be able to connect these scenes to make them into a tour. Basically, you need to be able to include hotspots that people can click and go to the other room.

For example, let’s say you are in the yard just outside the main entrance. Then you can place an icon on the entrance section that people can click to enter the house.

So far, you have learned how to capture 360 panoramas and know what to look for when choosing the right virtual tour plugin. Now, it’s time to create your property virtual tour.

I’ll be using WPVR to show you how it’s done.

First, I will create a basic virtual tour. And then, I will use additional features to make your tour engaging.

Create A Basic Real Estate Virtual Tour (For Beginners)

You can start by using the free version of WPVR to create a basic real estate virtual tour. At first, you need to install and activate it to make it functional.

Now, follow the steps below to craft your 3d real estate walkthrough.

1. Add Scenes to Your Virtual Tour

Upload your 360 images to WPVR by following the steps below:

i. Go to WordPress Dashboard > WP VR > Add New Tour.

You’ll be taken to the General Settings page of WPVR.

ii. Set a title for your virtual tour.

Set the virtual real estate tour title

iii. Click on the Scenes tab.

Upload a Scene - Real Estate Virtual Tour

Here, you can upload your 360 panoramas one by one, and each one will be considered one scene. But before you upload the images, follow the next two steps first.

iv. Set the first scene as default.

Click the Set as Default option and choose Yes. It means that this scene will be the 1st scene of the tour. (You can choose another scene as default when you upload more images)

v. Assign a Scene ID to your scene.

Each scene should contain a unique Scene ID.

vi. Click on the Upload button to upload a 360-degree image. You can manually upload an image or choose from your media folder.

Similarly, you can add more scenes by clicking on the “+” icon on top and then uploading images for them.

Here, I’ve added 4 scenes with different panoramic images.

Upload Multiple 360 Image for real Estate Virtual Tour

After uploading, each scene will have a thumbnail of it under the Scene Upload section.

vii. Click on the Preview button.

Live Preview of Your Real Estate Virtual Tour

You’ll see a live preview of your virtual tour in the Tour Preview section on the right side.

You can add up to 5 scenes on each virtual tour on the free plugin. (With WPVR Pro, you can add Unlimited Scenes on a virtual tour.)

Your scenes are uploaded, but now, you can only view the 1st scene. To be able to view the others, you need to add hotspots that people can click to go to other scenes.

2. Connect Your Scenes Into A Virtual Walkthrough Using Hotspots

Suppose you uploaded 4 scenes. Now, we will see how you can add the option for visitors to move between multiple scenes of your real estate virtual tour.

i. While on Scene 1, Click on the hotspots tab

Add Hotspot on 360 Degree Image - Real Estate Virtual Tour

ii. Here, set a unique hotspot ID.

iii. Change the hotspot type to Scene

iv. On the preview on the right, click on the spot you want to place the hotspot.

Assign the Position for Hotspot - Real Estate Virtual Tour

When you click, some coordinates will appear called ‘Pitch’ and ‘Yaw.’

Click on the “arrow-down” button to its right. It will add the coordinate values in the respective fields on the left.

Set Target Scene for Hotspot - Real Estate Virtual Tour

v. Add a short tooltip as on-hover content for this hotspot.

For example, if that hotspot leads to “Master Bedroom,” add it as on-hover text so that people know where they are going next.

vi. Under Select Target Scene from List, choose the Scene ID where you want your viewers to go by clicking on this hotspot.

Repeat the same for the rest of the scenes and you will have a complete real estate virtual tour ready. Now, people will be able to move from one scene to another.

**To add hotspots to other scenes, go to the scenes Tab and click on the scene window from the top to view its settings. Set this scene as default and click on preview. Then go to the Hotspots tab and add hotspots to that scene. After you have added hotspots to all the scenes, return to the 1st scene and set it as default.

3. Add Information to Your Tour

Now, your tour is set. Next, you can make this tour more interesting and engaging by adding more information.

i. Again, go to the scene in question, then go to the Hotspots tab.

ii. Here, choose the Scene type as “Info.”

iii. Then collect the Pitch and Yaw from the Preview to place the hotspot.

iv. Under the Scene Type, add content.

The On-Hover Content will be displayed when someone hovers over the hotspot icon.

The On-click Content will be displayed on a pop-up within the virtual tour when someone clicks on the hotspot icon.

Set Images On Hotspots - Real Estate Virtual Tour

In the On-Click Content, you will be able to add content using a WYSIWYG editor to show text, image, video, GIF, or audio.

You may even add shortcodes of booking forms or lead forms.

Set Image On Real Estate Virtual Tour

You can set images, videos, and GIF files here.

And on the URL field, you can add a URL of any website so that clicking on the hotspot will rather take them to that website. So, you could take them to more listings of the same category of houses in the desired location.

You can add up to 5 hotspots on each scene. With WPVR Pro, you can add Unlimited Hotspots to each scene.

4. Set Up The Basic Settings and Control Buttons

Go to the General tab.

Here you’ll find two options are enabled by default:

  • Tour Autoload
  • Basic Control Buttons
Real Estate Virtual Tour Autoload and Basic Controls

Keep the Tour Autoload option enabled to automatically load the virtual tour once you land on the web page that contains the virtual tour.

Enabling the Basic Controls will display a few basic navigation control buttons, ‘fullscreen,’ ‘zoom-in,’ and ‘zoom-out’ on the virtual tour.

Once this is done, Publish the tour, and it will be ready. You can then embed it on any web page or post it on your website.

Here’s what this tour looks like.

But this is just a basic tour. Time to make it even better by using WPVR Pro.

Customize Your Tour into An Engaging Virtual Walkthrough

To carry out the next few customizations, you will need WPVR Pro. Here is how you can upgrade to WPVR Pro. Activate WPVR Pro and then follow the steps below.

1. Add Scene Title and Author Information on Each Scene

Go to the Scenes tab. Now, you’ll find these options:

  • Title: You can give the name of the scene.
  • Author: State who created it. You may use the company name here if you want
  • Author URL: You can add a link to your website or social profile which people can visit by clicking on the Author URL.

  • Hotspot Animation
hotspot icon customization - Real Estate Virtual Tour

Using this option, you can set custom icons for your hotspots.

Just click on the dropdown option, and you’ll find 900+ custom icons you can choose from.

You can add custom colors from RGB, HSL, and Hex mode.

Hotspot Animation:

By turning this option On, there will be smooth and slow flickering animation on your hotspots.

3. Display A Scene Gallery on Your Virtual Tour

Since you have created this virtual tour with multiple scenes, you can enable the scene gallery option where all the scenes will be shown as a thumbnail.

Go to the General section then click on the Advanced Controls tab. You’ll find an option here named Scene Gallery.

Enable Scene Gallery - Real Estate Virtual Tour

Turn it on, and a new option named ‘Scene Titles on Gallery‘ will appear. This option will show your scene titles at the top of each scene thumbnail in the scene gallery. You’ll be turning all the options On as well.

4. Add Background Music on Your Property Virtual Tour

You can also add soothing background music to your entire virtual tour to make it enjoyable. While on the Advanced Controls tab, enable the Tour Background Music option.

Set Background Music on Real Estate Virtual Tour

These new options will appear:

  • Loop: Turning on the Loop option will play the background music on a loop.
  • Upload or Set Audio Link: With the Upload or Set Audio Link field, you can either set an audio link here or upload the audio file manually or from your media server.

Here, you’ll find these two options:

6. Add A Home Button To The Virtual Tour

WPVR allows you to add a home button on your real estate virtual tour that will take your viewers to the default scene by clicking on it.

To add this button, go to General > Control Buttons.

Home Button on Real Estate Virtual Tour

Find the Home option and turn it On. You can also customize its icon and icon color.

7. Add Contact Forms On Your Tour

One of the most important elements you can add to your real estate virtual tour is a contact form.

Suppose a potential buyer just had a look around your tour and is now interested in the property. Now, he’ll try to contact you to learn more about this property and arrange a visitation.

You can allow him to contact you instantly by keeping a contact form on this virtual tour. For this, you will need to install the WPVR Fluent Forms Add-on and the FluentForms plugin on your site.

You will get the Add-on for free when you get WPVR Pro.

Once you’ve created a suitable form for this purpose, you can easily integrate this form into your real estate virtual tour by following the steps below:

i. Create a form in Fluent Forms.

ii. Go to the Scenes section and add a new hotspot.

Add Contact Form Hotspot - Real Estate Virtual Tour

iii. Select the Hotspot-Type as Fluent Forms.

iv. From the Select Your Form section, choose your desired form.

Set Contact Form - Real Estate Virtual Tour

v. Publish or Update the virtual tour.

vi. Now, the form hotspot will appear on the tour preview.

Set Interactive Contact Form - Real Estate Virtual Tour

Click on the hotspot, and the form will pop up on the tour.

So now, your potential clients can contact you immediately when they’re experiencing the tour.

8. Add a house floor plan to your virtual tour

Having floor maps of virtual tours of houses will make the experience more meaningful and interactive. Once you are satisfied with your tour, view it on your website.

This is how your commercial real estate virtual tour looks like after you’ve applied all the customizations.

You can realize it’s way more engaging than the basic real estate virtual tour.

How to Create eBay Seller Center Product Feed – Actionable Guide [2024]

eBay is currently one of the largest online marketplaces in the world with 1.7 billion live listings, being the third most popular in the USA.

Right now there are over 182 million active eBay users worldwide. Among all the people in the USA who make purchases online through mobile apps, over 33% of them made at least one purchase through the eBay app last year. That’s huge!!

However, uploading products to the eBay Seller Center manually can be very complicated. They have a fixed template which is difficult to fill out on your own, especially if you have a lot of products.

To solve this problem today, you will get a complete step-by-step guide on how to generate eBay product feed in the most optimized way and skyrocket your conversion rate.

So let’s get started

What is eBay Seller Center Product Feed?

eBay Seller Center Product Feed is a tool that allows you to upload and manage large quantities of product listings on eBay efficiently. Using this feed, you can provide detailed information about your products, including descriptions, prices, images, and inventory levels, in a structured format.

This system is especially useful for sellers with extensive catalogs, as it simplifies the process of keeping your listings up-to-date and consistent in the USA marketplaces.

The product feed helps streamline inventory management by allowing bulk updates and automating many aspects of listing products, such as categorization and compliance with eBay’s listing standards.

By utilizing eBay Seller Center Product Feed, you can enhance your productivity. It also ensures your listings are accurate and ultimately improves your sales performance on eBay.

Guide to Generate eBay Seller Center Product Feed

eBay Seller Center app

Once you upload your products on eBay, they will be available on the main eBay site depending on the location it is viewed from, and on its mobile app.

The best part of eBay is that you can put your products up on auction. This means you will name a minimum price, and others will bid on the product.

Whoever will bid the highest within the auction period, will be the buyer. So, there is a possibility that you will be able to get more than what you expected.

Make sure you have an eBay account. Once you create an account, you will have access to upload products on eBay.

The next thing to do is to prepare a product feed file using the right format.

How To Set Up eBay Seller Center Product Feed In The Most Optimized Way

In order to submit your products on eBay feed, you need to use one of their templates.

Ideally, if all of your products fall under a single category, then it’s best to use an item-specific template. However, for an online store with products in multiple categories, you should use the basic template.

**You can use the plugin Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce to generate the feed in the correct format. I will show you how later in this guide.

Now let us look at the mandatory attributes that you must submit for your products, and how you can optimize eBay data feed for each attribute you submit.

You will get examples and tips on using valid values in an optimized way for all the required attributes.

Noodzakelijke producteigenschappen

The following are the mandatory and recommended product attributes that you need to submit when generating a feed using the basic template.

● Action
● Category
● Title
● Description
● ConditionID
● Picture URL

● Quantity
● Format
● StartPrice
● BuyItNowPrice
● Duration
● Location

● Shipping Attributes
● DispatchTimeMax
● CustomLabel
● Returns & Refund Attributes
● Payment Option Attributes
● Variation Details

For certain categories, you may need to submit a few item specifics such as Brand, Identifiers (UPC, MPN, or equivalent), Color, Style, etc. For such cases, you will need the

● Item Specific Attributes

To improve packaging and handling data, you may also need to submit certain weight or package dimension attributes which include

● WeightMajor
● WeightMinor
● WeightUnit

● PackageDepth
● PackageLength
● PackageWidth
● PackageType

Initially, when you decide to sell on eBay Seller Center, you need to look into a lot of details to understand how it works for your business. Each attribute will have different requirements based on the product you are selling.

But before going there, you should know that you don’t have to do it all manually. Since you own a WooCommerce store, you can easily generate an eBay Seller Center product feed for your products in minutes. Simply use the plugin Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce.

The plugin has a built-in eBay Seller Center Basic Template. All you need to do is assign them the correct values and fields. Here’s a video to show you how quickly you can generate an eBay feed without any hassle.

Generate Accurate eBay Seller Center Product Feed Using Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce

Now that you know how easy it is to generate the product feed, let’s learn about the accepted values for eBay when creating the feed.

The good news is, through this guide, you will learn about the acceptable values for each attribute and you will get tips to understand how to use them for your business.

Dus laten we in detail treden.

**Do note that eBay requires you to submit a lot of extra product data, some of which you have no way to input through default WooCommerce.

This is why it is more important for you to read the details for every attribute and understand which data you need to add to your store products via custom fields.

Any feed generation tool you use will only be able to pull data from your WooCommerce database, and if the data is not there, then your feed will not be accurate.

So go through the details and if you are serious about selling on eBay Seller Center, then you will find a way to add custom fields and include the extra required data to your products.

Details & Tips on Using Accepted Values for Mandatory eBay Attributes

Action

Attribute NameAction(SiteID=US| Country=US| Currency=USD| Version=941)
VoorbeeldwaardeAdd
Valid values● Add
● VerifyAdd
● Revise
● Relist
● AddToItemDescription
● End
● Status

The action attribute will signify your purpose for generating this feed.

Naturally, you will see that the Action field name will include some extra data to indicate the Country, Currency, and template version you are using.

For example:
Action(SiteID=US| Country=US| Currency=USD| Version=941)

  • The SiteID tells eBay, which eBay platform you are willing to list the products on.
  • The Country defines the location of your business.
  • The Currency states what currency will be an acceptable payment mode.
  • The Version signifies the template format.

The Version for the Basic template is 941.

The Version for an item specific template is 945

For the Action attribute, the following are the accepted values:

  • Add
    • The Add action is used to upload new products to eBay listings and eBay will generate an ItemID for each product listed.
  • VerifyAdd
    • If you want to check if your submitted feeds file is in the right format and contains the correct data before they are added to eBay listings, then you can use the VerifyAdd action.
    • Using this value will mean that eBay will generate a result file to state if there are any issues with the feed, or if it is acceptable. But the products will not be listed and no ItemID will be generated.
    • This is a convenient way to make sure you are uploading products with the correct data.
    • I advise you to use this and create a feed with a couple of products, let’s say a simple product and a variable product with two variants. Then upload on eBay to see if you have the right format or if any data is missing. Based on that, you can alter your feed and later submit it with the Add action value.
  • Revise
    • The Revise action means you want to modify the value of specific attributes for certain products.
    • When using this value, you need to submit the ItemIDs of the products for which you want to make changes in the data and the fields in which you want changes along with their dependent fields.
  • Relist
    • If an item was not sold when you initially listed it for auction, you can relist it using the Relist action.
    • All you need to submit are the ItemIDs of the products you want to relist.
  • AddToItemDescription
    • The AddToItemDescription field is used to make changes to only the description of the listed products
    • You are required to submit the ItemID and the description of any product for which you want to update the description.
  • End
    • Use the End action if you want to remove a product from the listing.
    • In this case, you need to submit the ItemID and the EndCode.
    • For EndCode, you can assign one of the values
      – LostOrBroken,
      – NotAvailable,
      – Incorrect, or
      – OtherListingError.
  • Status
    • The Status action is used to update the status of certain attributes for sold products such as Payment status and Shipping status or to leave feedback.
    • This attribute is rarely used. It’s best to handle these with your eBay Seller Center account. However, you can choose to use it if you need to update the status for too many products at once.

To upload new products, first, upload a feed with ‘VerifyAdd’ as the action. If everything goes well, then generate and upload the feed with the Action ‘Add‘.

◈ Category

Attribute NameCategory
Voorbeeldwaarde1245

Here are the category IDs based on the eBay category tree:
eBay Category ID List 1
eBay Category ID List 2

If you need the Category IDs of parent categories, you can collect them here.

eBay has its own set of category lists. So you need to submit a category ID for each product to signify which eBay category it will be listed under.

The best way to handle this is to map your store’s categories with eBay’s category IDs using a tool.

For WordPress, you can use the plugin Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce which includes the category mapping feature and the eBay template to generate product feed.

You can download the category lists given in the table above and configure category mapping with their help when generating product feeds.

◈ Title

Attribute NameTitel
VoorbeeldwaardeDenim Jacket With Zip Closure

◈ Condition ID

Attribute NameConditionID
Voorbeeldwaarde2750
Valid valuesUse Condition IDs based on the category of the product. You can collect it from the list below:
Condition IDs based on Category

The condition ID is used to specify if the condition of the product is New or not.

Basically, there are set IDs for different conditions of a product. However, these IDs vary depending on the product category.

You can collect the condition IDs for your required products from the table above.

You will notice that some categories do not have Condition IDs assigned to them. This is because if your products fall under those categories, you are not allowed to sell them unless they are brand new.

**The Condition ID attribute is optional unless you have products that are not brand new. So, if you are uploading products that are brand new, you can skip using this attribute.

◈ Condition Description

Attribute NameConditionDescription
VoorbeeldwaardeThe jacket has a slight defect on the zip on the left pocket as it was used for a month. Other than that, it is in great condition.
Valid valuesYou can use text to describe the condition of the product if it’s not brand new.

You can submit images of the product using this attribute.

Quantity

Attribute NameQuantity
Voorbeeldwaarde25
Valid values– Use numerical values with a maximum length of 45 characters

Format

Attribute NameFormat
VoorbeeldwaardeAuction
Valid valuesValid eBay formats include
– Auction
– FixedPrice
– ClassifiedAd

Here you need to specify the format in which you want to list your products on eBay.

Ideally, there are 3 types of listing formats.

Auction, FixedPrice and ClassifiedAd

  • Auction
    • When you list an item for sale in an eBay auction, you need to choose a starting price, and interested buyers will place bids. When the auction ends, the product will be sold to the highest bidder. In this case, you need to submit a ‘Starting Price’.

      You can also set a ‘Buy it Now price’ which is seemingly a high price that any buyer will be able to pay and purchase the product immediately, ignoring the auction.
  • FixedPrice
    • When you list your products under FixedPrice, it means that there will be no bidding; the price you submit will be the only cost to pay to buy a product. In this case, the StartPrice you submit will be considered the default price of the product.

      **To list products as FixedPrice, the product must be worth more than $0.99.
  • ClassifiedAd
    • When you list an item through an eBay Classified Ad, you will set a price for a product, and an interested buyer will contact you. Then you both will come into private contact and complete the transaction in person, outside the eBay platform.

      **The Classified Ad format is only available in a handful of selected categories.

◈ Start Price

Attribute NameStartPrice
Voorbeeldwaarde5.99
Valid values– Use a numeric value with a maximum length of 16 characters including the decimal.

This is the price at which bidding will start when you list your products on Auction.

If you list your product in a fixed price format, this will be the default price of the product.

**If you remember, the currency is specified in the field name of the Action field. So you do not need to provide a currency here.

◈ Buy It Now Price

Attribute NameBuyItNowPrice
Voorbeeldwaarde400
Valid values– Use a numeric value with a maximum length of 16 characters including the decimal.

When you list a product under auction, you can assign a Buy It Now Price so that a person can directly pay this amount and purchase the product, without waiting for the bidding.

Naturally, this price should be quite higher than the Start Price.

◈ Duration

  • 1
    – To List products for a single day only.
    *This is only available to sellers with a feedback score above 10.
  • 3
    – To List products for three days since uploading.
  • 5
    – To List products for five days since uploading.
  • 7
    – To List products for seven days since uploading.
  • 10
    – To List products for ten days since uploading.
  • 14
    – To List products for fourteen days since uploading.
  • 30
    – To List products for thirty days since uploading.
    *Normally, this option is available for Motor Local listings only. But if you get high feedback scores on a regular basis, then you might be able to use it for other listings as well.
  • 60
    – To List products for sixty days since uploading.
    *This option is only applicable for Classified Ads in a few specific categories.
  • 120
    – To List products for around four months since uploading.
    *This option is only applicable for Classified Ads in a few specific categories.
  • GTC
    – GTC stands for Good ‘Til Cancelled. It means, every 30 days, if a product is not sold out, it will be relisted automatically.
    *If you submit a product in the FixedPrice format, then you have to submit the duration as GTC.

So use the duration value that applies to your products.

There are several attributes which you need to use to indicate the available shipping options and shipping costs to the buyers.

You can use the following

      You do not need to submit any shipping service costs.

      **The FreightFlat option can only be offered by eBay US sellers.
  • Calculated

**Business policy names are case-sensitive. So make sure to use the correct policy name.

If you submit both the return and refund options and a return profile name, then eBay will by default give priority to the Return Profile Name.

◈ Payment Option Attributes

Though optional, it is highly recommended that you indicate how you accept the payments from buyers.

To do so, you can either opt into the eBay Business Policies and set up a profile for payment options or use the attributes for payment options to indicate the payment modes you accept.

To use the payment policy from your eBay business policies, you have to submit the attribute

  • PaymentProfileName

But if you rather want to use the payment option attributes, then you can choose to use one or more of the 12 payment option attributes.

You can also add instructions regarding your accepted payments using the attribute ‘PaymentInstructions.’

Here’s how you use them.

Payment Profile Name
Attribute NamePaymentProfileName
VoorbeeldwaardeCashOnly1
Valid values– Must be the same as one of the policies created on your eBay account.

If you opt-in to Business Policies for your eBay account, then you can set up Policies to specify your preferred payment options.

**Business policy names are case-sensitive. So make sure to use the correct policy name.

If you submit both the payment options and a return profile name, then eBay will by default give priority to the Payment Profile Name.

Payment Option Attributes

In case you did not create a business policy for payment options, I recommend you submit at least one payment method.

The following are the payment method attributes you can choose to submit, in case you accept them.

  • AmEx
    – Submit this if you accept payments through American Express cards
  • Discover
    – Submit this if you accept payments through Discover Cards
  • VisaMastercard
    – You can submit this attribute if you accept payments through Visa or Master Cards.
  • Paypal accepted
    – To indicate that you accept payments through PayPal. In this case, you must also submit the PayPalEmailAddress attribute.
  • PayPalEmailAddress
    – This will be your email address where you accept payments through PayPal.
  • ImmediatePayRequired
    – This indicates that a person has to pay immediately via PayPal and later receive the product. In this case, you must also submit the PayPalAccepted attribute.
  • PaymentSeeDescription
    – You can rather explain your payment policies in the product description. Then you can use this attribute to insist the buyer read the product description to find out about the payment options.
  • Payment Status
    – Once a buyer processes a payment, you can give a status of the purchase to indicate if the payment was received or not using this attribute.
  • IntegratedMerchantCreditCard
    – If you issue credit cards for purchases in your online store, then you can use this attribute to indicate that the buyers will be able to pay using that card.
  • MOCashiers
    – For certain products, accepting money orders or cashiers’ checks seems more convenient. If this applies to your business, then you can submit this attribute.
  • PayUponPickup
    – You can allow a buyer to pay, and then pick up the product from your location. In that case, you can use this attribute.
  • PersonalCheck
    – If you accept a personal check, you can use this attribute.

The following table applies to AmEx.

Attribute NameAmEx
Voorbeeldwaarde1
Valid valuesAccepted values are 0 or 1.

All the payment option attributes work in the same way. The field names are as-is on the list above. And the accepted values are 0 or 1.

  • 0 indicates false, i.e., you do not accept that payment option
  • 1 indicates true, i.e., you accept that payment option

So for some products, you might accept MOCashiers, but for others, you can not. In that case, you can use the MOCashiers attribute and assign the values accordingly.

◈ Variation Details

So far you learned about the attributes that either provide product data or business policies.

If you have product variations, then you need to submit the parent product with common details, and variation products with only the dynamic data.

For example, you can submit the Title for the parent product and leave it blank for the variants as the title will be the same no matter the variance.

Again, you need to submit separate image links for each variant as they tend to have unique images in your store.

For variable products, i.e. products with multiple variants, you have to submit 2 extra attributes to handle their relationships.

Relationship
Attribute NameRelationship
VoorbeeldwaardeVariation
Valid values– Use the value ‘Variation’ for variants
– Leave it blank for parent products
Relationship Details
Attribute NameRelationshipDetails
VoorbeeldwaardeSize=S;M;L;XL|Color=Black;Pink;Red;Blue
Valid values– For the Parent product, indicate the variation factor and its variant terms in the format:
VariationFactor1=VariantTerm1;VariantTerm2
– Use a “|” separator in between multiple variation factors
– For product variant, indicate which variant term it represents in the format:
VariationFactor1=VariantTerm2

Use the Relationship Details attribute to indicate what factors a product varies with, and its variant terms.

For example, let’s say you have a t-shirt with the variation factor Color and its variant terms are Red and Blue. And it also has a variation factor Size with variant terms S, M, and L.

In this case, the RelationshipDetails value will be as follows:

For Parent Product:

Color=Red;Blue|Size=S;M;L

**You can see, each variant term is separated by a semi-colon. And each variation factor is separated by a “|”.

For Product Variant:

Color=Red|Size=S
Color=Red|Size=M
Color=Red|Size=L
Color=Blue|Size=S
Color=Blue|Size=M
Color=Blue|Size=L

**You can see only one variation term is selected for Color and Size. And each variation factor is separated by a “|”.

◈ Item-Specific Attributes

Now, products in certain categories require you to submit certain item specifics to optimize the data. For example, you might have to submit a Brand name.

In this case, you need to follow the format C:ItemSpecificName for the attribute name.

For example, when submitting a brand, you use the attribute C:Brand with the value of a brand name such as Sony.

Attribute NameC:Brand
VoorbeeldwaardeSony
Valid values– Any valid value for the item specific

For any other item specific, you need to submit the attribute names in the same way. So, for MPN, the attribute name will be C:MPN, and for Size Type, the item specific will be C:Size Type.

To know if you need to submit any of these specifics, you can collect your desired category IDs and generate an item specifics template to learn if you need to submit these attributes.

Or, you can simply upload the products using the Basic Template and later input item specifies within eBay, where required.

◈ Weight Attributes

For certain shipping options you have to submit the weight attributes to determine the shipping cost. As a result, you need to submit the following attributes

  • WeightMajor
  • WeightMinor
  • WeightUnit
Gewicht Majoor
Attribute NameWeightMajor
Voorbeeldwaarde2
Valid values– The whole number part of the actual weight.

This attribute represents the whole number part of the actual weight of the product.

For example,
– if the product is 2.5 kg, then the WeightMajor will be 2.
– if the product is 3 lbs and 8 oz, then the WeightMajor will be 2.

Gewicht Minor
Attribute NameWeightMinor
Voorbeeldwaarde5
Valid values– The decimal/fraction/sub-unit part of the actual weight.

This represents the remaining decimal/fraction/sub-unit part of the actual weight of the product.

For example,
– if the product is 2.5 kg, then the WeightMinor will be 5.
– if the product is 3 lbs and 8 oz, then the WeightMinor will be 8.

Weight Unit
Attribute NameWeightUnit
Voorbeeldwaardekg
Valid values– kg or lb

The weight unit is used to decide on the unit of measurement for the weight.

  • For imperial measurement, use the value lb
  • For metric measurement, use the value kg

  • PackageDepth
  • PackageLength
  • PackageWidth
  • PackageType

Package Depth

VoorbeeldwaardeLargeEnvelope
Valid valuesFollowing are the valid values you can use to indicate the product type:
– Letter
– LargeEnvelope
– PackageThickEnvelope
– USPSLargePack
– VeryLargePack
– ExtraLargePack
– None

The package type will help eBay understand what sort of package will be shipped.

As you can see in the valid values, if it falls under any of them, then you can submit this attribute with those values, else, you can use the value none.

However, this is an optional attribute. You may or may not use this attribute.

There are many more attributes within eBay, but the ones explained here are the most important ones.

Do Virtual Tours Help Sell Houses in 2025? Let’s See How!

Do virtual tours help sell houses?

Spoiler alert: They absolutely do.

Imagine you’re trying to sell a house with just photos—like convincing someone to buy a car by only showing the tires.

But it’s 2025 and the buyers want more. They want to step inside, walk through the rooms, and picture where their favorite chair will go.

And there’s no alternative to virtual tours in this case. You can think of them as your 24/7 open house—accessible anytime, anywhere.

In this guide, I’ll cover:

✅ How virtual tours build buyer confidence

✅ Why they can lead to quicker offers

✅ What makes them a must-have for today’s home sales

By the end, you’ll see how virtual tours aren’t just a convenience—they’re a powerful sales tool.

Laten we beginnen.

How Do Virtual Tours Help Sell Houses?

As I’ve mentioned earlier, virtual home tours are the latest and the most credible way to promote your homes for sale.

They offer an interactive, immersive experience that static photos just can’t match.

Let’s break down exactly how virtual tours help you sell houses more effectively:

 1. Attract More Potential Buyers

Potential Buyers Will Prefer Using Virtual Home Tours

The only visual your customers before visiting are the photos you put up on your site.

Once they visit, if it doesn’t meet their expectations, they reject the offer in most cases.

Dit is een duidelijke indicatie dat de interesse van mensen vooral afhangt van de verwachtingen die je in hun hoofd kunt wekken over de woning voordat ze ervoor kiezen om te bezoeken.

Sell more properties with WPVR

If you include a virtual home tour, the person viewing will be able to experience a realistic tour of the house while sitting at home.

They’ll be able to get a complete visual of how the house will look when they actually visit in person.

Now this will give you 3 major advantages:

  • The person will stay longer on your site when exploring the virtual tour. Hence he/she will get more time to choose on your site and probably, eventually, get interested. The fact is the more you spend time, the more attractive it gets.
  • People calling with any inquiry will have a good tour around the house. Hence, they calling means they are probably highly interested, and the house satisfies their requirements. Now, giving them further details will be worthwhile.
  • Since you have a virtual tour, anyone asking to take a visit is probably interested in buying the house and you will have a higher chance of closing the deal. This is because the viewer will be able to get a good visual of the house and his/her expectations will match when he/she actually visits. Thus increasing the chance of buying.

And this is how virtual home tours can make a big difference and will certainly increase potential buyers.

If you include a virtual home tour, the person viewing will be able to experience a realistic tour of the house while sitting at home.

They’ll be able to get a complete visual of how the house will look when they actually visit in person.

2. Showcase Spatial Flow and Layout

If you put only photographs, You must need to know that comes up with some limitations such as:

  • Inability to fully demonstrate the transition and flow from one room to another.
  • Incapability to present every angle and perspective of a room.
  • Difficulty in assessing whether furniture will fit a space based solely on photos.
  • Lack of detailed information about the home’s amenities.

And with virtual home tours, buyers to feel as if they are physically present in the property. They can control the tour and explore the flow, spatial context, and size.

3. Empower Buyers to Explore What They Want

With photos and videos, Your site represents what you want to portray. Not what your customer wants to see.

But on a virtual tour, Your customers can control what they want to see. Buying a new home is as much an emotional decision as it is a financial one. Your customers what to take time while inspecting your house.

This freedom of choosing and exploring at their own desire will definitely get you more buyers.

4. Focus More on Closing Deals

Home verkoopt zichzelf
A virtual home tour will increase your closing rate.

Virtual Tours of Homes for sale can save you a lot of time and effort and will let you focus more on increasing your business revenue.

Now that you know that the person you will be dealing with already got a virtual tour, you can focus on closing deals, go for negotiations, and give extra details about the house, such as its history or neighborhood. 

You do not need to spend hours over the phone trying to convince people with details about the house itself.

The virtual home selling goes through virtual tours. People calling has developed a genuine interest.

All you need to do now is set up a visit and work on closing the deal.

The moment a customer steps foot in the house, he/she will know that this is exactly what they experienced in the virtual tour and exactly what he/she visualized about the home that got them interested in the first place.

Daarom heb je een betere kans om deals te sluiten.

5. Boost Follow-up Response Rates

Verhoogde opvolgingsreactie

As a realtor, you are always busy speaking with clients who are interested to buy homes.

You probably get people leaving messages on your site about inquiries or through e-mails.

And sometimes you get calls, while you are trying to close a deal, which you can’t answer and they leave voicemails.

All of these are hard to follow up on.

You need to list them and then get back to them, hoping that they are still interested.

And more often, people don’t respond to your attempt to follow up with them unless they are really interested. 

Dit betekent dat u niet weet hoeveel belangstelling een persoon heeft wanneer hij of zij het onderzoek doet, hoewel het duidelijk is dat hij of zij bereid is vroeg of laat een huis te kopen.

Having virtual home tours can make a big difference when you sell property virtually.

You can be sure that the people inquiring, after taking a virtual tour, are probably interested to a great extent since they saw exactly what they will get, and probably that’s what they were looking for.

Hence, you will get a better response when you reach back.

6. Help Buyers Make Faster, Informed Decisions

Neem een geïnformeerde beslissing

Even though you put well-crafted details on your sites, your potential customers will not be sure what they want and will probably visit several homes before making a decision.

But if you use virtual tours, your buyers will be able to get a detailed view of the house; a realistic visual which he/she will not get from other property listing sites.

So, that prospect might develop an instant interest and probably stop looking elsewhere.

7. Make It Easier to Promote Your Business

People will be able to make an informed decision when using your site.

You will be able to stand out in the industry since people will find you more reliable.
