Question:
I would create a configurator similar to ones used in automotive to configure your car, but the project is based on configure an electric guitar.

Is possible with wix without developing code?

Product:
Wix Editor

What are you trying to achieve:
Have a “guitar configuration page” where you can select all components to create your guitar. Some element (i.e., bodies, necks) are fixed values from a dropdown list based on a read-only CMS, some other values are text boxes where write what you want.

First step is to select a body shape among available in CMS (list + boolean for “available”).
Next dropdown list must be populated using filters coming from the previous dropdown.

i.e., if a select from the first dropdown “Body Shape” the value “Stratocaster”, the next dropdown(s) must filter all articles matching with “Stratocaster” and not for other guitar types.

At the end of configuration, save the project with an ID and send an e-mail to site administrator with the contacts of the person and the configurator requested to provide a quotation.

What have you already tried:
Tried to search and watched some tutorial where configurator is applied to apparel but found none about filtering using previous dropdown values.

Additional information:
really thanks to whom can help me, please consider I am not a code-writer, so looking for some template or add-on

If you are okay with not showing the image with the Configurator, you can use the new Wix Form. It supports conditional rules just like what you need. You can show certain fields when visitors select specific values, and it has in built-in payment option as well.

Thanks for answering first, yes, I do not necessarily need pictures, I’m going to test and let you know; in the meanwhile I was trying also the catalog, but does not seems assisting me too much in this idea. Still thanks

Nothing to do, as it seems I cannot connect the Form to the CSM.

Articles (including categories to apply filters) are in CSM, while Form requires listing manually.

I was also trying with the Wix Catalog but there are options for checkout and prices that currently I am not interested in.

The scope of filling form is to receive a mail/notification (including contacts of customer) to which provide a quotation.

Any ideas?

I didn’t really understand this message, sorry my English is not so good.

Have you tried the conditional rules. You will only need one form to get configuration data

sorry, I’ll try to write much more clearly.

The Forms I need to show to the customers must be populated from a Dataset collection into the CMS.

The first Form is "which kind of guitar shape do you want?
Dropdown must shows i.e., “Stratocaster” and “Telecaster” and any other shape I can put into the CMS

Based on the first input, i.e., “Stratocaster”, all the other forms/dropdown, must show only article related to Stratocaster guitar style (I will put specific Boolean or any other Filter).

All the articles must be included into the CMS, are not “free form” which the Customer can fill.

I hope I was much more clear.

Still thanks for your support

Hey Alfredo,

What you are looking for is dynamic dropdowns - wherein there is dropdown hierarchy and contents of subsequent child dropdowns are filtered based on their parent dropdown values.

The only way to achieve this without code, as suggested above, is through conditional forms. And yes the lists will have to be set manually as they cannot fetch data from the CMS. So either you can use Wix Forms with conditional rules, or third party alternatives such as Typeform, which also allows similar conditional logic.

Else if you want to fetch the data from the CMS, then it can only be implemented using custom code since there is no out-of-the box way to do this without code in Wix right now.
