Features

What Board Builder does for you and your customers.

Customers choose a board, set the size and see it drawn before they pay a deposit. You get the full spec and a 3D file customized to your customer's dimensions for every order.

For your customers

Customers choose, size and order on your site.

The customer side carries your models, prices and logo.

Board selector

Seven questions about the surfer and the waves rank your models and recommend a size by volume. Answers are saved to the customer's account.

Board builder

Pick a model, set the size (stock, custom or sized for them), choose finish and fins, and watch the board redraw.

Model pages

Each model has its own page with images, specs and stock sizes.

Design page

Every design gets its own URL with deck, bottom and side views and a 6-inch dimension grid. The customer approves a drawing before paying.

Accounts

Customers sign up with Google or email at the deposit step and come back to see their design and order status.

Status emails

Customers get an email when they pay the deposit and when the status of their order changes.

For your shop

Less re-entering, more shaping.

The shaper side is one order screen.

A customized 3D file

Your starter .s3dx for the model is customized to the length, width and thickness your customer specified. Download it from the order screen and open it in Shape3d.

The full spec, once

Size, volume, finish, rail color, fin system and the customer's notes arrive together, so there is no second email to fill in what was missing.

Order screen

Approve or flag the dimensions, set the status the customer sees, keep notes and mark the balance paid.

Deposit by Stripe

Stripe Checkout takes the deposit on its own hosted page, so card details never touch your site. The balance is paid to you directly.

New order email

You get a message for each new order.

Your prices and rules

Base price, per-foot charge, finish options, deposit percentage, lead time and refund rule are settings.

Works with your site

Built for WordPress, styled by your theme.

Board Builder runs inside your WordPress site, so it looks like the rest of the site and works with the tools you already use.

Inherits your theme

Fonts, text size and text color come from your theme. The accent color comes from your Elementor global colors or your block theme's color presets. Dark sites are supported.

Works with Elementor

Models are a WordPress post type with Elementor dynamic tags and a ready-made card template for Elementor Pro Loop Grids, so the boards page is built and styled in Elementor.

Other builders and the block editor

The board builder, the board selector and the model cards are shortcodes. They go into the block editor or any page builder that accepts shortcodes.

Your pages, your templates

Each model has its own page and the boards archive has its own URL. Your theme's templates or Elementor Pro templates control the layout, and a default is included.

Customers are WordPress users

Customers sign in with a normal WordPress account to see their design and order status.

Stripe compatible

Deposits are taken with Stripe Checkout on your Stripe account. Card details stay on Stripe's hosted page and never touch your site.
