How often should I review my try-on settings?

Anchor reviews to merchandising events, not a calendar

Looksy publishes no recommended review interval. The natural triggers are events you already plan around: a new collection going live, seasonal photography replacing existing product shots, a theme update or redesign, and any change to which products you sell. Each of these can change how try-on performs — new photos render differently, and new products may suit try-on better or worse than the ones they replaced. If your store already has a merchandising rhythm, attach the try-on review to it rather than adding a separate ritual.

Read the funnel Looksy already tracks

Looksy's analytics show what shoppers try on, what they add to cart, and what they buy. A review means comparing those three numbers across your enabled products since the last check. Products with many try-ons but few add-to-carts deserve a closer look — the likely suspects are the product photo, the price, or the page copy rather than the feature itself. Products nobody tries on may be enabled in the wrong place or missing a visible button. A short pass over these numbers at each review is enough; you do not need a standing dashboard ritual.

Check credit usage against your plan

Each billing cycle is a natural checkpoint for plan fit. Starter includes 100 photo credits with additional credits at $0.14, Growth 300 at $0.12, and Scale 600 photo or video credits at $0.10. If you paid for additional credits two cycles running, the next tier up may cost less per try-on; if most credits went unused, a lower tier may fit. On the Free plan the check is different: try-ons are unlimited, so it is whether you are nearing its $100 additional-revenue limit or want Looksy branding removed. Billing is usage-based through Shopify with no contracts, so moving between tiers carries no lock-in.

Re-test after theme or photo changes

Two changes should trigger an immediate check rather than waiting for your next scheduled pass. First, theme work: the Looksy block is added and positioned in the theme editor with no theme code edits, so before publishing a new or updated theme, open it in the theme editor and confirm the block is present and positioned where you want it. Second, new product photography: clear, product-focused photos generate the best results, and full views beat cropped shots for apparel, so run a try-on yourself on any product whose photos changed. Both checks take minutes and catch problems before shoppers do.
