FROM FRICTION TO FLOW
Show how the plug-in changes day-to-day work.
The before/after framing makes the value obvious before visitors read feature details.
CURRENT WORKFLOW
Before Contour Lab
-> Customers upload artwork outside the production file workflow.
-> Operators trace cut lines in disconnected design tools.
-> Exports are emailed or manually attached later.
-> Charging for contour work is difficult to audit or automate.
CONNECTED WORKFLOW
After Contour Lab
-> Users generate contours directly in the browser.
-> Trace settings and output formats are visible before download.
-> SVG, PDF, and JSON outputs can be charged by credit rules.
-> Files can remain tied to the account and WooCommerce order lifecycle.
FEATURE MODULES
Six capabilities that make contour creation commerce-ready.
The local marketing doc identifies dual studio modes, credit charging, exports, order metadata, tokenized downloads, and broader media integration.
Browser contour studio
Users can upload or drag artwork, generate contour paths, tune quality, simplification, growth, holes, and preview overlays.
Studio and lab modes
A streamlined acl_studio path supports storefront use while acl_lab and admin lab modes support deeper tuning.
Credit-gated exports
SVG, PDF, and JSON downloads can carry separate credit prices with ledger events and free/admin modes.
Production output formats
Supports curved exports, output sizing, DPI settings, contour preservation, and production-oriented file formats.
WooCommerce job linkage
Contour data can attach to cart items, persist to order metadata, and generate after processing or completion.
Secure file library
User-linked file records and tokenized download URLs make paid contour deliverables easier to retrieve and audit.
