HTTP3D Inc., WalkTheWeb
About this plugin
Extend your WooCommerce online store into the realm where over 700 million people play online games!
WalkTheWeb 3D Store plugin creates a 3D Store for 3D Internet Metaverse/Multiverse in about 5 minutes. Works like a 3D Game and integrates your products from WooCommerce.
Think of a 3D Store as a 3D Graphical extension of your current online store – traditional website. A 3D Store shows your online store products, short descriptions, prices, and categories with links that open your online store product pages and shopping cart. We do not do any transactions for your online store or shopping cart, only redirect users to your online store; in a new browser tab or iframe based on permissions and settings you choose.
The maintenance of your products, categories, images, shopping cart, and checkout process all stay in WooCommerce. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel! You have a store, we can help you reach more customers by adding a 3D Store!
Your 3D Store is designed to be placed into many 3D Communities consisting of games, entertainment, amusement rides, animations, houses, businesses, and other 3D Stores. You maintain your 3D Store Building in one place and your 3D Store can be added to many 3D Communities. Read more at walktheweb.com.

Installation
Minimum Requirements for Plugin
- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended)
- WalkTheWeb requires WordPress version 4.7+
- WalkTheWeb requires WooCommerce 3.3.0+. This solely relies on the WooCommerce API, so it is easily tested and confirmed. If you see products and the links work, it is good to go!
- Your WordPress website needs to be running secure – https – have an SSL Cert. The SSL Cert can be terminated at a load balancer. This is used to make secure calls from the 3D Store to retrieve – read only – product information, product lists, product images, category lists, and products by category from WooCommerce. Without it, you can create your 3D Store at walktheweb.com directly, but your products will not show until it is set. We believe this is best practice for 3D Stores, online stores, and working with Application Programming Interface – API – calls to WooCommerce.
- WalkTheWeb plugin requires Internet Access – used to connect to the https://3d.walktheweb.com and https://www.walktheweb.com websites where your 3D Website is created and hosted.
- JavaScript must be turned ON or Enabled in your browser. The WalkTheWeb® plugin uses JavaScript to show and hide various sections of the plugin settings page based on the tabs menu item selected. JavaScript also uses JSON calls to retrieve templates, synchronize with walktheweb.com, and save your settings.
- Allow Popups may be required for some of the test buttons. They open the test pages in additional browser Tabs.
You may also want to see 3D Browsing requirements to visit your 3D Store.

- All of the 3D Browsing Requirements above.
- 3D Website Administration requires a computer with mouse – it is not fully optimized for mobile devices.

FAQ
-
What is 3D Internet, WalkTheWeb, and HTTP3D?
-
Invented by Dr. Aaron Dishno in 2012 and patented in multiple countries (USA Patent Number 9,940,404) – concept of 3D Internet Browsing is like combining a first-person video game with browsing the Internet. This concept includes three main elements:
- 3D Buildings or structures are websites.
- Pan and Walk first person movement in, out, and between the 3D Building Websites.
- Ability to Connect multiple 3D Building Websites to create 3D Community Websites or cities.
Furthermore, the concept continues with the ability to host 3D Building and 3D Community websites anywhere on the Internet, connect multiple 3D Buildings into 3D Communities, and our patented concept, to fetch and load 3D Objects as you Walk near and unload 3D Objects as you Walk away. This is a core attribute of 3D Internet Browsing.
WalkTheWeb is our implementation of 3D Internet Browsing.
HTTP3D is our name for the core technical framework that makes it possible: HTTP3D Inc.
-
Can I change the 3D Store Design
-
Customizing your 3D Buildings and 3D Communities can be done at the WalkTheWeb 3D Host 3d.walktheweb.com.
Using your WalkTheWeb Login, you can go to https://3d.walktheweb.com or your 3D Host, Login, and select Admin Mode from the Menu bar.
You can now open your 3D Buildings, 3D Communities, and customize the Designs.
-
How do I change the number, size, color, or position of Product Displays in my 3D Store?
-
Using the WalkTheWeb 3D CMS website or your 3D Host, you can edit the product displays by right clicking on the 3D Object as you view your 3D Website. If you click a 3D Object that is part of a 3D Building in a 3D Community, it provides a link to open the 3D Building directly to edit the 3D Object.
A box with settings will appear. As you change the values, you will see the updated version in your browser.
-
Tell me more about the Wizard Steps?
-
Step 1 – The list of 3D Buildings – 3D Stores – is dynamically retrieved from the https://3dnet.walktheweb.com website. This allows us to expand the offered 3D Store templates.
Step 2 – The list of 3D Communities – 3D Scenes – is dynamically retrieved from the https://3dnet.walktheweb.com website. This allows us to expand the offered 3D Scene templates.
Step 3 – Select your 3D Host. Your 3D Store name is populated using your Blog Name by default. You can name each 3D Store you create differently. The free URL naming all starts with https://3d.walktheweb.com/ and appends your chosen Publish Name. The Publish Name uses letters a-z, numbers 0-9, dash, underscore, and periods. You cannot start a name with dash, underscore, or period or use more than one without being followed by a letter or number. Click the Check Availability button to confirm and continue. You can 3D Internet Browse your 3D Community as https://3d.walktheweb.com/PUBLISHNAME and your 3D Building separately as https://3d.walktheweb.com/buildings/PUBLISHNAME
Step 4 – The First Part, WalkTheWeb Permissions, is so that this plugin can create 3D Websites, list your 3D Websites, and read/write settings for your 3D Websites. 3D Websites are hosted at https://3d.walktheweb.com or your 3D Host and the login will synchronize the settings and changes. Although you can create 3D Websites and update 3D Website settings in this plugin, you can do the same as well as customize your 3D Building Store and 3D Community Scene directly in the admin on the WalkTheWeb website.
Here are some step-by-step tutorials with videos to help
The Second Part, WooCommerce API Permissions allow your 3D Store to retrieve WooCommerce Products, Categories, and Product Images. This tab only sets the permissions for the 3D Store being created. These settings are saved to make it easy to create another 3D Store.
Step 5 – When you click “Create It!”, the plugin will securely send your WooCommerce keys and 3D Store settings to the 3d.walktheweb.com or 3D Host to create your 3D Website.

Internationalization (i18n)?
-
We have added the i18n – 18 characters between i and n – functions to the general text to support the basics for i18n. We are using the default WordPress i18n.
Future upgrades will most likely address particular instances of translation.
