Can I use try-on at pop-ups and in-person events?

A QR code to the product page is the whole setup

Looksy publishes no kiosk mode, offline version, or event-specific setup — the try-on runs in an app block on your product page, and the product page is the whole experience. That makes events simple: print a QR code that opens the product page, and anyone who scans it gets the same try-on your online shoppers do. One code per hero product keeps scanning fast and lands shoppers exactly where the try-on button sits. Nothing extra to install or build — your booth is borrowing your storefront.

What shoppers need at your booth: a phone, nothing else

There is nothing to download and no account to create. The published flow asks for one uploaded photo and returns a result on the product page in about 20 seconds, with no camera permission required. Shoppers can retry, leave feedback, and download or share the result — so they can walk away from your booth with the image on their phone. Booth lighting varies, and clear photos generate the best results, so if a first attempt disappoints, retrying with a clearer, fuller photo is the fix. The entire ask is a phone, a signal, and about half a minute.

Test connectivity and the flow at the venue first

Since Looksy publishes nothing about offline or event use, treat the in-person experience as yours to verify. Venue wifi and cellular coverage decide whether a roughly 20-second photo flow feels instant or stalls, and that is only knowable on site. The Free plan's unlimited try-ons make the rehearsal cheap: scan your own QR code at the venue or somewhere with similar coverage, run the full upload-to-result flow on a few phones and carriers, and time it. If the connection is weak, a staff hotspot or a sign that sets expectations helps more than any app setting.

Plan for volume and check what the event produced

A good booth generates try-ons in bursts, and on paid plans each photo try-on uses a credit — additional credits bill at $0.14 on Starter, $0.12 on Growth, and $0.10 on Scale, while the Free plan is unlimited, with Looksy branding and up to $100 of additional revenue. Check remaining credits before the event the way you would before a promotion. Afterwards, Looksy's analytics show what shoppers tried on, added to cart, and bought, so compare the event window against a normal day to see whether booth scans became orders. That comparison is the honest measurement — Looksy publishes no event benchmarks.
