In their own words
Apto.ONE
Apto.ONE is open-source software for building product configurators, available online or for local installation. It is designed for products with many variants, guiding customers through choices in OnePage or Step-by-Step mode. Configurations can show images or descriptions, with photorealistic high-resolution product display. A rule system checks dependencies between steps so customers can assemble feasible combinations; rules may be strict or soft. The software calculates prices as selections are made, including options for surcharges, discounts, special prices, and customer-group prices. An administration interface lets operators adjust products and configuration options, while the software can be adapted and extended. Configurations can feed a request process or connect to e-commerce systems; Shopware is named as an available integration, and connector availability should be checked through provider app stores. Customers can save configurations and return later. The free Open Source Edition can be installed on hosting, in a virtual machine, or locally on PC, Mac, or Linux. Documentation covers setup, 3D model requirements, connectors, and plugins.
