WooCommerce 360 Image 1.4.2

The WooCommerce 360 Image extension is a premium add-on for WooCommerce designed to enhance product visualization by allowing customers to view products from a full 360-degree perspective.1

Instead of static photos, this plugin enables you to create and embed interactive, rotating product views, providing a more detailed and immersive shopping experience.2

🔄 Core Purpose: Immersive Product Visualization

The plugin takes a sequence of images (shot at small rotational increments, e.g., every 10 degrees) and stitches them together to create an interactive 360° spin animation.3 Customers can then click and drag the image horizontally to rotate the product on their screen.

This is highly effective for products where detail, texture, or viewing all sides is crucial, such as electronics, jewelry, furniture, fashion accessories, or car parts.
