POM Increases Conversion Rate by 340% with a 3D Configurator
Pepper spray manufacturer, POM, increased its conversion rate by 340% on its Shopify website with a 3D configurator powered by Sketchfab
POM is a U.S aerosol company that specializes in the design, manufacturing, filling, and distribution of an innovative personal defense spray. POM’s pepper spray comes in 3 different models: POM key, clip, and snap.

POM Key, Clip and Snap
Each model is available in 3 different colors: black, grey or white, with 8 different band colors.



The challenge
POM’s pepper spray comes in 72 different varieties (3 models, 3 colors, 8 band colors).
Scrolling through 72 different images is very confusing for shoppers:
- they don’t discern the difference between each model
- they don’t understand they can shop different versions of the same unit
The solution
- POM embedded a 3D configurator on its Shopify website where you can easily select a model, choose a background color and customize the band color. All in one place!
Process
The process to build POM’s 3D Configurator was pretty straightforward.

Results
Enhanced eCommerce experience thanks to the Sketchfab’s 3D configurator:
- You can now custom build your own POM pepper spray and interact with it in 3D: choose a model type and its color, observe the model from all angles, zoom in and out to details
- It is now easier to understand the differences between each model and their potential combinations
- People are buying multiple configured products vs single color/product before the 3D configurator.
