Virtual try-on for Shopify, answered
Plain answers to what Shopify merchants actually ask before adding try-on to a product page — how it installs, what it costs, what it needs from your catalog, and where it does not fit.
Getting started
Install a try-on app from the Shopify App Store and enable it on the products you want it to appear on. Looksy installs as a theme app extension, so it drops onto your product pages without editing theme code, and the free plan lets you test it before paying anything.
With Looksy, yes — it installs as a Shopify theme app extension rather than by editing theme files, and uninstalling removes it cleanly. Apps that ask you to paste code into your theme are the ones worth checking carefully.
No. Looksy runs on your product page in the browser. A shopper uploads one photo and sees the piece on themselves — no app install and no account.
Pricing and credits
Looksy has a free plan with unlimited try-ons, and paid plans at $14.99, $29 and $79 a month. Pricing across the category varies widely, and several apps ask you to contact sales rather than publishing a price at all.
The free plan has unlimited try-ons. Paid plans are metered in credits: 100 photo try-on credits a month on Starter, 300 on Growth, and 600 photo or video credits on Scale.
You can keep going at your plan’s overage rate — $0.14 per extra try-on on Starter, $0.12 on Growth and $0.10 on Scale — or move up a plan. Plans are usage-based, with no contract, and cancel from Shopify.
How it works
The app takes your product image and a shopper’s photo and generates a single image of that product on that person. It is image generation rather than a 3D model, so there is no per-product asset pipeline to build or maintain.
Not with Looksy — it works from the product images already on your store. Apps built around 3D or AR placement generally do need new assets produced for each product.
A shopper uploads a photo so the try-on can be generated. Before installing any try-on app, read its privacy policy and data handling and check that it matches what your own store policy promises shoppers.
Apparel, eyewear, jewelry and accessories are the common ones, and different techniques suit different categories. The first question is what you sell, not which app scores highest overall.
Choosing an app
Start with your catalog, then compare what each app needs from you — new photography, 3D assets, or the images you already have — and what a month actually costs once you pass the included allowance.
It is widely claimed, and the mechanism is plausible: a shopper who has seen a piece on themselves is guessing less about fit and styling. We do not publish a returns figure for Looksy, because we do not have one we would stand behind. Measure it on your own store.
