==Build Your Own Ring (BYOR)==

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**What’s the Difference Between the Free and Paid Versions?**
The free version allows you to explore the Ring Builder (BYOR) experience with access to the diamond and gemstone catalog, advanced search and filtering, diamond size viewer, multilingual and multi-currency support, customizable design, and a fully mobile-optimized interface.
The paid version includes everything in the free version, plus:

- Add to Cart functionality to enable customer purchases
- Feed Center access with live pricing updates, margin control, sales tracking, and inventory management
- Supplier integrations including Nivoda and RapNet
- Global ring sizing (US, UK, EU, Australian, Asian standards)
- Engraving options (available as an add-on)
- Priority support and advanced configuration tools


**How often does pricing change?**

We review pricing annually to reflect new features and improvements. Any pricing changes are communicated in advance, and existing subscribers are notified before adjustments take effect.

**Do you offer refunds?**

No, we do not provide refunds after payment or subscription activation. This is because the process involves server setup, account configuration, diamond feed integration, and licensing. Please thoroughly test the free version before upgrading to ensure it meets your requirements.


**How does the colorless to colored diamond switcher work?**

The plugin includes an easy toggle that allows customers to switch between colorless (traditional white) diamonds and colored diamonds. This provides a seamless browsing experience and helps customers explore different diamond options without navigating away from their current view.   

**What diamonds and gemstones are available?**

The plugin includes the entire inventory of diamonds and gemstones from Nivoda, featuring natural diamonds (all ten popular shapes), lab-grown diamonds (all ten popular shapes), colored diamonds, and gemstones. We can also integrate with any international supplier who provides data in CSV format. Additionally, you can import your own diamond and gemstone inventory through the Feed Center (paid version only). 

**Can I import my own inventory?**

Yes, with the paid version, you can upload your own stock diamonds and gemstones via the Feed Center. We provide CSV templates (natural.csv, lab.csv, colored.csv, and gemstones.csv) to make the import process straightforward. CSV import guides are included to help you get started. The CSV formats available for download are:  

- [natural.csv](https://engagement-ring-builder-o4hk8.kinsta.app/app/sample-natural.csv)  
- [lab.csv](https://engagement-ring-builder-o4hk8.kinsta.app/app/sample-labgrown.csv)  
- [colored.csv](https://engagement-ring-builder-o4hk8.kinsta.app/app/sample-coloreddiamonds.csv)  
- [gemstones.csv](https://engagement-ring-builder-o4hk8.kinsta.app/app/sample-gemstones.csv)  


**What margins and shipping times are set during the free trial?**

During evaluation with the free version, margins are set at 0% on all diamonds and gemstones, and shipping is set to 10 days (default). Once you upgrade to the paid version, you can customize margins and shipping times through the Feed Center. 

**How does the Feed Center work?**

Once you activate a paid plan, our support team updates the diamonds in different categories through the Feed Center. This gives you access to inventory management, margin control, and performance tracking features. 

**How do I order a Nivoda diamond?**

You'll need a Nivoda account to order diamonds. In the paid version, when a customer adds a diamond to their cart, you'll receive an email notification with the SKU/stock number. Contact Nivoda by phone or email to place your order. This notification system allows you to respond quickly and fulfill orders efficiently. 

**Can you integrate with other suppliers like RapNet or VDB?**

Yes, custom supplier integrations are available as a paid add-on. While Nivoda comes pre-integrated (account required, no subscription to their app necessary), we can connect your store with RapNet, VDB, or any other supplier. Contact our sales team to discuss your specific needs. 

**How can I prevent search engines from indexing diamond inventory?**

You don’t need to add any tags, feeds, or custom robots.txt rules. The plugin automatically applies **noindex, nofollow** to diamond inventory products, category archives, and selected pages at the page level, which is the safest and most reliable SEO method.  
If you’re using additional SEO, caching, or crawler plugins and still see diamond products being crawled, please ensure those plugins are **not overriding page-level noindex rules** or forcing indexing through global settings or sitemaps.<br>**Recommended fallback settings (only if required):**
For SEO plugins like Yoast or Rank Math: 

- Set diamond product categories to **Noindex** 
- Disable sitemap inclusion for:  
    - kirb-diamonds  
    - kirb-lab-diamonds  
    - kirb-loose-diamonds  
    - kirb-gemstone-diamonds  
    - kirb-color-diamonds  
      
        
**Optional robots.txt rules (only if needed)**:  
 Disallow: /product-category/kirb-diamonds/  
 Disallow: /product-category/kirb-lab-diamonds/  
 Disallow: /product-category/kirb-loose-diamonds/  
 Disallow: /product-category/kirb-gemstone-diamonds/   
 Disallow: /product-category/kirb-color-diamonds/  


**Do you provide sample rings?**

Yes, we provide sample engagement rings to demonstrate how the Ring Builder works. These samples also serve as a guide for categorizing and tagging your own rings for compatibility. You can easily import these sample rings using the 'Import Sample Rings' button in Settings → Settings Category. You can replace them with your own designs at any time—your products remain completely yours. 

**What if I don't have my own ring settings?**

We offer a Product Library (paid add-on) with 100+ engagement and wedding ring designs in various metal types, complete with product and 360° lifestyle videos. These designs can be licensed for your website. Contact our sales team for details.
**Note:** We provide only digital assets. Design defects, manufacturing, and order fulfillment are your responsibility.

**How does the Ring Builder increase sales?**

Online retailers offering customization options like ring builders have seen conversion rates increase by 2-3x compared to stores without customization, and Average Order Value (AOV) boost of up to 30%. Customers are willing to pay more for personalized products and appreciate the ability to design their perfect ring.

**How can I customize the Ring Builder?**

You can add navigation menu links like 'Start with a Setting' or 'Start with a Natural Diamond,' select ring sizes for your region under Language & Region settings, adjust colors, fonts, and design elements in plugin settings to match your brand, and customers can preview the diamond and engagement ring setting before making a purchase.
