Description
Sell custom neon signs online. Neon Channel Product Customizer (NCPC) adds a live neon sign designer to your WooCommerce products.

You receive the full design with the order.
Built for neon sign shops, sign makers, print shops and makers who sell personalised LED neon signs, name signs, wedding and event signs, business logos in neon, bar and café signs.
Try it
A neon sign designer your customers will enjoy
- Realistic live preview: glowing LED neon, light on/off switch, day/night view and your own background photos (wall, shop front, bedroom…).
- Dimensions displayed live: width and height bars on the preview, in centimetres, inches or both.
- Multi-line text with alignment, character and line limits per size.
- Word by word styling (optional): a different font or colour for each word.
- Icons in the text: add your own SVG icons (hearts, stars, logos…) that customers insert next to their words.
- Three layouts (skins): Default (side panel with tabs), Mono (one continuous page) and Zou (collapsible cards), with your own colours, font and custom CSS.
- Mobile first: designed for phones and tablets as well as desktops.
- Clear help: information pop-ups on each section and example images on options.
- Every text can be edited from one place (Configurator texts), so the configurator speaks your language and your brand voice.

External services
This plugin only connects to an external service when you choose a Google Font for a configuration: the font file is then loaded by the visitor’s browser from Google Fonts (fonts.gstatic.com) to display the configurator. Google receives the visitor’s IP address and the requested font file. See the Google Fonts FAQ and Google privacy policy. Fonts you upload yourself are served from your own site.

FAQ
-
What kind of signs can I sell with the free version?
-
LED neon signs (text and icons), sold by fixed width or fixed height sizes. Channel letters (acrylic, metal, wood, 2D and 3D) are available in NCPC Pro.
-
How is the price calculated?
-
For each size you set a base price per line and a price per letter, and optionally how many letters are included in the base price. Colours, backboards and custom options can add a fixed amount or a percentage. You can also set a discount and a minimum price. The product’s regular price is added to the customisation price.
-
Can I use my own fonts?
-
Yes. Upload any TTF font (neon script fonts work great) or pick a Google Font. Up to 10 fonts in the free version.
-
Can customers see the size of their sign?
-
Yes. The preview shows the width and height of the sign in real time, in centimetres, inches or both.
-
Can I translate or change the texts of the configurator?
-
Yes. Every text of the configurator can be changed in the Configurator tab of Settings > Language and Image. Empty fields keep the English default. The admin is translation ready.
-
Does it work with my theme and page builder?
-
The configurator runs in an isolated container, so your theme styles do not break it. It works with block themes, classic themes and page builders. You can also place it anywhere with the
[ncpc-configurator productid="123"]shortcode. -
Does it work on mobile?
-
Yes, the configurator is designed for phones, tablets and desktops.
-
I used NCPC Pro or Starter before. What happens with my configurations?
-
They are kept. The free version shows them within its own limits: extra items (sizes, fonts, colours…) are not displayed and Pro-only options are hidden. Configurations that use a Pro-only model (channel letters, advanced or frame-fit pricing) are not displayed; the administrator sees a notice on the page.
-
Where can I get help?
-
