Looksy Docs Overview

Looksy helps Shopify merchants add AI virtual try-on to their stores without custom development. Use these docs to install the app, choose products, tune the shopper experience, and measure impact.

​

What Looksy does

Looksy adds an in-page virtual try-on experience to Shopify product pages. A shopper uploads a photo, chooses an enabled product, and receives an AI-generated preview that helps them decide whether the item fits their style. The goal is simple: reduce the uncertainty that keeps shoppers from buying apparel, accessories, eyewear, jewelry, swimwear, and other visual products online. The app is built for merchants who want a practical try-on workflow without a custom 3D pipeline. You do not need product modeling, camera calibration, a fitting-room app download, or a developer-led theme build. The setup path starts in Shopify, continues in the Looksy dashboard, and ends with a Try On button on selected product pages.

​

Start with setup

​

Choose products deliberately

Virtual try-on performs best when it is attached to products where visual confidence matters. Start with products that have clear product imagery, consistent merchandising, and enough traffic to produce useful signals. Many stores begin with bestsellers, new arrivals, or a focused collection such as dresses, tops, jackets, swimwear, eyewear, or accessories. The product setup guides explain how to choose your first product set, what image quality helps the AI produce better previews, and how to expand try-on coverage once you see engagement. If you are unsure where to start, use a small collection first and compare try-on usage, add-to-cart behavior, and customer questions against similar products without try-on.

​

Tune the shopper experience

Looksy is designed to feel native to the store. The theme setup and customization guides cover button visibility, mobile behavior, styling, and placement. The most important rule is to make try-on easy to discover without interrupting the purchase path. Shoppers should see it near the product media or buying controls, understand what happens next, and return naturally to the product page after viewing a result. Mobile testing matters because many shoppers discover products on phones. After install, test the Try On flow on iOS and Android, including photo upload, result generation, and returning to the product page. Also test products with multiple variants so shoppers can move between colors, sizes, or styles without losing confidence.

​

Measure what changes

Use the analytics and ROI guides to track whether virtual try-on is helping the business outcome you care about. Useful signals include try-on starts, completed previews, product engagement, add-to-cart rate, conversion rate, return rate, and support questions about fit or appearance. Early results are directional; the strongest read comes after enough shoppers have used try-on across a consistent product set. If you are testing Looksy for a team, document the baseline before launch. Capture current conversion rate, return rate, top products, and common customer objections. Then compare enabled products against similar non-enabled products or run an A/B test when your traffic supports it.

​

Troubleshoot with context

Most setup issues fall into a few categories: the Try On button is not visible, product images are not ideal, the theme embed is disabled, or shoppers are testing on a device/browser combination that needs review. The troubleshooting guides walk through those cases in order, starting with the quickest checks before moving into deeper theme and performance diagnostics. If a result looks off, review the product image first. Clear product photos, accurate colors, and uncomplicated presentation usually produce better previews. If the button is missing, confirm the Shopify app embed is enabled, the product is eligible, and the theme is rendering app embeds on the product template.

​

Explore by workflow

• Product setup: choose products, review image requirements, and follow optimization best practices.
• Analytics and ROI: track try-on usage, conversion lift, return reduction, and experiments.
• Troubleshooting: resolve button visibility, image quality, performance, and mobile questions.
• Comparisons and guides: learn how Looksy differs from AR tools, 3D model workflows, and other Shopify virtual try-on apps.

​

Who should read which guide

Store owners should start with quick setup, first try-on, and the first 24 hours checklist. Ecommerce managers should focus on product selection, conversion tracking, ROI, and A/B testing. Theme editors should read theme setup, mobile experience, and button customization. Support teams should keep the troubleshooting and FAQ pages close so they can answer customer questions with consistent language.
