Overview

Scalarcut is a tiling and flooring planning platform. One part of it is an embeddable widget you embed on a product page, so a shopper can lay out their own room before they buy.

Here is the flow your customers see. Someone lands on a tile or flooring product they like. Where they would normally enter the room dimensions into a basic area calculator — and still end up with a rough, rounded figure — they open the planner instead. They describe the wall or floor they are covering, and the planner generates a tile layout, including full tiles and cuts, all in place. The widget subtracts openings like doors and windows, applies Sliver Guard to flag or avoid cuts below its configured threshold, and finishes with the calculated quantity to order, a cut list, and a printable blueprint.

For you, the integration is a script tag and one callback. The widget reads your catalog, keeps your prices and checkout untouched, and when the shopper clicks add to cart it automatically sends the resolved SKUs and quantities — the total tiles to order, and, if enabled, adhesive, grout, and primer — straight to your store's cart. The widget calculates the quantities from the layout, so the shopper does not type a quantity.

It is platform-agnostic. Because the widget is a self-contained iframe with no dependency on your backend, it runs wherever you can drop a script tag — WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, 1C-Bitrix, Shopware, JTL, or a custom or headless store built on React, Vue, or Laravel. The same snippet works across all of them.

What it does

• Places the whole layout. The widget lays out every tile and every cut on the surface the shopper describes, with doors, windows, and hatches removed from the area.
• Sliver Guard. The planner treats 50 mm as its fragility floor: a cut below it is at high risk of breaking during fitting. When the widget sees one, it re-anchors the layout on the centre of the wall so the shopper is not told to order a cut that may not survive on site.
• Cut Recycling Engine. A leftover from one cut becomes the starting piece for the next, which cuts down waste and the total number of tiles.
• Builds the bill of materials. Tiles in pieces and boxes, adhesive, grout, and primer — all calculated from the actual layout rather than a flat square-metre estimate.
• Exports a blueprint. A branded PDF with the dimensions, the layout drawing, and the full cut list.
• Hands you the cart. One callback returns the resolved SKUs and quantities, and your store adds them to its own cart. Price, stock, and checkout remain entirely yours.

The widget handles layout and quantity calculations; other integrations are separate. Two things sit outside the embed. Machine-readable Factory MBOM export — the JSON/CSV for ERP and cutting tables — is a separate Enterprise product, not part of the Online Store widget. And the widget does not run AI room rendering, so it never draws on your rendering quota or adds to your costs.

How it works, briefly

The widget runs in an iframe on your product page, served from its own host and controlled by a small JavaScript SDK.

1. Your page loads the SDK and calls ScalarcutTiling.mount(...) with your widget key, catalog, and the current SKU.
2. The widget shows your products and the shopper builds a layout.
3. When they click add to cart, the widget posts the result to your page, and you add the lines through your own cart.

The planner is embedded in your storefront, and checkout remains on your store. The shopper does not sign up for anything and never hits a Scalarcut-branded checkout. The widget is fully self-contained.

Who it is for

• Tile and flooring stores that want product pages which tell the shopper how much they actually need.
• Manufacturers and importers who publish a catalog once and give every dealer the same planner.
• Marketplaces and showrooms that want a consistent, on-brand planning experience across many storefronts.

Where to go from here

Start with the Quickstart to get a live widget in about fifteen minutes. Then read Add the widget to your store for sizing and placement, and the SDK reference for the full API.

Integrating an ERP, MES, or cutting table instead? That is a different product — see the Factory MBOM documentation, which is kept separate from this widget guide.
