Can I choose which products get virtual try-on?

Template-level control through the theme editor

Because Looksy is a theme app extension, its try-on block is placed and positioned in Shopify's theme editor, with no code edits. That gives you Shopify's standard template mechanism: product pages render from templates, and you can create alternate product templates — one with the try-on block, one without — then assign each product to the right template in the Shopify admin. Products on the template without the block simply never show try-on. This control lives in Shopify rather than the app, so it does not depend on your Looksy plan and is reversible in minutes — removing the block is a theme-editor change, not an uninstall.

What to check inside the Looksy app

The App Store listing describes try-on working across the store but does not spell out per-product or per-collection toggles inside the app itself. Before you build your rollout around templates alone, open Looksy's settings and check three things: whether individual products or collections can be excluded directly, how the block behaves on product types it cannot render well, and whether size help and bundles can be scoped separately from try-on. If the answer matters to your launch, set up an unpublished duplicate theme and preview it first — confirm the block appears and behaves the way you expect before publishing to the live store.

Why limiting try-on usually makes sense

Selective rollout is mostly a budget decision. Starter includes 100 photo try-on credits and Growth 300, with additional credits at $0.14 and $0.12 — on those plans, each photo try-on a shopper runs draws down the allowance. Enabling try-on storewide spreads that budget across products where seeing the item worn changes nothing, like gift cards or consumables. Concentrating the block on products where fit and look drive the purchase decision puts each credit where it can move a sale. It also keeps the experience credible: a try-on button on a product it renders poorly hurts trust everywhere else.

A rollout that uses the analytics

Start narrow and let the data expand the list. Enable the block on your best-selling wearable products first, then watch Looksy's analytics, which show what shoppers try on, add to cart, and buy — confirm in the dashboard that the numbers break down by product before using them for rollout calls. Products with strong try-on-to-cart rates justify adding neighbors from the same category; products nobody tries after a few weeks can lose the block with a single theme-editor change. Because the block is repositionable and removable at any time, nothing about the initial selection is permanent — treat the first month as a test of where try-on earns its credits.
