How do I migrate from another try-on app to Looksy?

Step one: remove the old app the way its docs describe

Every try-on app handles removal differently, so follow the outgoing app's own documentation rather than assumptions. Before you uninstall, write down what you will want to recreate: which products had try-on enabled, where the button sat on the product page, and any email or analytics integrations you relied on. Then uninstall following the old app's instructions and check its docs for any cleanup steps they recommend. If you are unsure whether something was left behind, that is a question for the old app's support, not a reason to skip checking.

Step two: confirm your theme still renders cleanly

After removal, load your storefront the way a shopper would before installing anything new. Check a few product pages, your home page, and collection pages on both desktop and mobile, looking for broken layouts, empty spaces where the old widget sat, or buttons that no longer do anything. Fixing the base theme first means any issue you see later is genuinely new, not inherited. If something looks wrong at this stage, resolve it with the old app's documentation or your theme's support before moving on — a clean starting point makes the rest of the migration simple.

Step three: install Looksy free and rebuild your setup

Install Looksy on the Free plan, which includes unlimited try-ons and Looksy branding. Looksy is a theme app extension: you add the try-on block in the theme editor and position it where you want it on the product page, with no theme code edits. Recreate the setup you noted earlier — the products you enable, the button placement — and run several try-ons yourself with clear, product-focused photos. Because the listing describes a clean uninstall, the trial costs nothing but time if the results do not meet the bar your old app set.

Step four: prove it on best-sellers before you pay

Enable try-on on your best-sellers first — they get the traffic that produces evidence fastest. Compare what you see against what your old app delivered: result quality on your actual product photos, and the numbers in Looksy's analytics, which show what shoppers try on, add to cart, and buy. For apparel, full garment views generate better results than cropped shots, so this is also the moment to check your images. Upgrade to Starter, Growth, or Scale once you want the branding removed, photo credits, or realtime video — after your own store's data supports the move.
