​

Option B: Enable Individual Products

• Fine-tuned control over which products offer try-on
• Test on bestsellers first

2. Click “Customize” on your active theme
3. In the theme editor, click on the “App embeds” section (usually in the left sidebar)

​

​

Step 4: Test It

1. Navigate to a product with virtual try-on enabled
2. Click “Try On”
3. Upload a selfie (or take one with your camera)

​

What to Check

• Does the button appear on the product page?
• Is it easy to find and click?
• Does the try-on render quickly and accurately?
• Does it work on mobile devices?

​

Step 5: Optimize for Best Results

​

Product Images

• Multiple angles – Upload different views (max 4 images per product)
• Detail shots – Close-ups showing texture and material
• Any background works – Plain, complex, or busy backgrounds all work
• Higher resolution helps – 1200px+ recommended but not required

​

Button Styling

• High contrast colors – Choose colors that pop against product images
• Clear button text – “Try On” is short and action-oriented
• Appropriate size – Not too small, not too large
• Corner position – Top left or top right based on your product images
• Clear, action-oriented copy (e.g., “Try On”)

​

Mobile Testing

• Is the button easy to tap?
• Does the upload flow work smoothly?
• Do results render quickly?

​

Step 6: Promote the Feature

​

On Your Store

• Add a banner to your homepage: “Try clothes on virtually before you buy”
• Mention it on collection pages
• Include in product descriptions: “Use our virtual try-on to see it on yourself”

​

In Marketing

• Feature in new product launch emails
• Promote on social media
• Highlight in abandoned cart emails
• Create tutorial content showing how to use it

​

Step 7: Track Performance

• Engagement rate – What % of visitors use virtual try-on?
• Conversion lift – Do products with try-on convert better?
• Return rate – Are returns lower for try-on products?
• Product performance – Which products drive the most engagement?

​
