Setup FAQs
Common questions about getting started with PC Builder MW.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. PC Builder MW is entirely no-code. Everything from setup to theme embedding is done through visual interfaces inside Shopify.
How long does initial setup take?
Most merchants go live in 15–30 minutes. Larger catalogs take longer — but the CSV import makes bulk setup fast.
Can I create multiple builders (e.g. gaming + workstation)?
Yes. Create as many widgets as you need. Each is independent with its own steps, products, and compatibility rules.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The configurator is fully responsive and optimized for mobile. Customers can build and checkout on any device.
What happens if a product goes out of stock?
Out-of-stock products are automatically hidden from the builder. When stock is restored, they reappear. No manual intervention needed.
Can I customize the compatibility rules after going live?
Yes. You can add, edit, or remove compatibility rules at any time. Changes take effect immediately.
Powerful Admin Settings
