How do I run a one-week try-on pilot?

Day 1: install free and enable five to ten best-sellers

Install Looksy from the Shopify App Store on the Free plan — unlimited try-ons, no charge, with Looksy branding on results. Add the try-on block in your theme editor; it is a theme app extension, so there are no theme code edits. Enable it on five to ten best-sellers whose photos meet the published standard: clear, product-focused, and full views rather than cropped shots for apparel. Best-sellers matter because they already get traffic — a pilot on products nobody visits produces no data. Note the current add-to-cart and purchase numbers for those products; that is the baseline you will compare against on day seven.

Days 2 to 6: run normal traffic and change nothing

Do not aim a special promotion or paid campaign at the pilot — you want to see how try-on performs with ordinary traffic, or you will not know whether try-on or the campaign moved the numbers. Leave settings alone mid-week; swapping button placement or product selection halfway through muddies the read. While the week runs, Looksy's analytics record what shoppers try on, what they add to cart, and what they buy. Shoppers need no app, account, or camera permission — one uploaded photo returns a result on the product page in about 20 seconds — so there is nothing to teach customers before the pilot starts.

Day 7: read the funnel against your baseline

Open Looksy's analytics and read the funnel: how many shoppers tried products on, how many of those added to cart, and how many bought. Compare add-to-cart and purchase rates on the enabled products with the baseline you noted on day one. One week of one store's traffic is a small sample, so treat the numbers as directional rather than proof. Also note which products were tried on most — that tells you where to expand if you continue. Looksy publishes no benchmarks, so the only comparison that matters is your own store's before and after.

What the pilot costs and when to upgrade

The Free plan includes unlimited try-ons, so the pilot itself costs nothing. Two limits apply: results carry Looksy branding, and the plan covers up to $100 of additional revenue. If your pilot clears that ceiling, the paid plans raise it — Starter at $14.99 per month covers up to $500 and removes the branding, Growth at $29 covers up to $1,000, and Scale at $79 removes the cap and adds realtime video try-on. Billing is usage-based through Shopify with no contracts. Upgrade only if the day-seven data says try-on earns its keep; if the week is inconclusive, run a second one before deciding.
