How to add a veranda configurator to your website

A veranda configurator lets a customer choose the roof, the side infills, the size, and the colour, then send a quote request with the exact design attached. Instead of "how much for a veranda, roughly four by three?", you receive a lead that already specifies roof type, glazing, and finish.

A veranda is a high-consideration purchase. The buyer wants to picture it on their own terrace before they commit, and a configurator is the one thing on your site that shows them that.

What the buyer configures

Keep the configurator to the choices the customer can actually make on their own. Spans, footings, and structural limits belong in your follow-up quote, not on the screen.

Choice	What the customer picks
Roof type	Glass, polycarbonate, insulated panel, or louvered roof
Side infills	Open, fixed glass, sliding glass walls, or solid
Dimensions	Width, projection, and height, within the limits you set
Frame colour	RAL or your standard palette, shown in real colour
Extras	LED, heating, sun screens, doors

A veranda is bought on how it will look on the customer's own terrace. A configurator is the only thing on your site that shows them that before they call.

Veranda or sunroom?

The two get confused, and the buyer searches for both. A veranda is a covered terrace: a roof with open or sliding sides, used mostly in the warmer months. A sunroom is fully enclosed and insulated for year-round use. If your product is the enclosed kind, see the sunroom configurator guide. Many dealers offer both and run one configurator per product line.

What you need to go live

The main input is a 3D model of your veranda in GLB or glTF format. If your manufacturer supplied CAD files, converting them to GLB is usually straightforward. The platform wraps the model with the option controls and a quote-capture form.

CPQ3D works with your model through a single script tag on your product page. No subscription, and the first 10 quote requests are free. Volume packs start at €3.50 per request. There is no demo call required to start.

The short version

• Expose roof, sides, size, and colour. Keep structural detail for the quote.
• Show real frame colours and glazing so the customer reacts to the actual look.
• Run a separate page for veranda and sunroom, since buyers search for each.

Common questions

Can customers add sliding glass walls? Yes, if the panels are in your model. Side infills are one of the most-used veranda options.

Can I show a glass roof versus a polycarbonate roof visually? Yes, as long as the materials are in the model. Roof swaps update the 3D view live.

Can I limit the sizes to what I actually build? Yes. Set minimum and maximum width, projection, and height so customers only configure what you can deliver.
