Furniture Commerce Inquiries
Key technical and business questions on selling high-ticket furniture online.
Do customers need to download an app to view furniture in Augmented Reality (AR)? −
No. We build native WebXR AR models using Apple QuickLook (iOS) and Google Scene Viewer (Android). Customers simply tap the "View in Your Space" button inside their mobile Safari or Chrome browser, and their camera instantly activates to display the true-to-scale 3D furniture item in their room.
How do you handle shipping charges for bulky items to different zip codes? +
We integrate dynamic volumetric weight (CBM) calculators. Shipping rates are calculated based on origin warehouse, destination postal code, and optional white-glove add-ons (like stair climbing or packaging disposal). Customers see exact freight pricing before checkout, preventing surprises.
How effective is offering physical fabric swatch boxes? +
Highly effective. Over 45% of shoppers who purchase a $10 fabric swatch kit go on to buy a complete sofa or dining set within 30 days. When we configure an automated coupon refunding the $10 toward their furniture purchase, conversion rates soar.
Can we support deposit payments (e.g. 50% advance, 50% before dispatch)? +
Yes. For custom made-to-order furniture with multi-week lead times, we implement split deposit checkout engines. Customers pay 50% to initiate manufacturing and receive an automated link to pay the remaining balance once their piece passes final quality inspection.
