We already use Zakeke. Can we switch?

Yes. Send us one product and a description of what its configurator does today. We rebuild it free of charge, so you can compare both on your own product page.

Can you use 3D models we already have?

Yes. Sweef's modular sofa was built from 3D files Sweef already had. If you have none, we model from photos and measurements.

Which shop platforms does it work on?

It works on all shop platforms. The configurator is added to the product page with one code snippet and connects to your systems through an API.

What happens after the free product?

If you want to continue, we discuss the rest of your range. You keep the 3D model in either case.
