What should a try-on button say?
Clear beats clever. Something like “Try it on” or “See it on you” tells shoppers exactly what happens next. Whether and how you can change Looksy’s button text is something to check in the theme editor after installing.
Lead with a verb and a concrete outcome
Lead with a verb and describe the result: “Try it on”, “See it on you”, “Try this on me”. Shoppers scanning a product page decide in a glance, so the label should answer “what happens if I tap this” without further explanation. Avoid feature-speak like “AI-powered virtual fitting” — shoppers are not buying the technology, they want to see the product on themselves. Keep the phrase short enough to survive a narrow mobile button, and skip punctuation and gimmicks; the result carries the moment, the button just has to be legible and unambiguous.
Promise only what the flow delivers
Looksy’s photo flow asks the shopper for one uploaded photo and returns a result on the product page in about 20 seconds, with no app, account, or camera permission. Button copy should match that reality: “See it on you in seconds” is defensible, while “instant” stretches it. Likewise, only reference live video if you are on the Scale plan, the tier that lists Realtime video try on — on photo plans, a “Try on live” label promises an experience shoppers will not get. When the button and the flow agree, the first try-on feels like the button kept its word.
Match your store’s voice and languages
A try-on button sits inside your product page, so it should sound like the rest of your store — a playful brand can get away with “See it on ya”, while a minimalist one might prefer a plain “Try on”. Follow your existing capitalization and tone rather than treating the button as an ad unit. If you sell in several languages, note that Looksy lists support for 47 languages; how the widget’s text localizes across your storefront languages is worth confirming in the theme editor before you commit to a phrase, since a pun or idiom that works in English may not translate.
Checking what Looksy lets you customize
The App Store listing describes Looksy as a theme app extension you add and position in the theme editor with no theme code edits, but it does not spell out how deeply you can edit the button text. So check directly: open the app block’s settings in the theme editor and see which labels are editable, then consult the FAQ, tutorial, and app documentation linked from the listing, or ask Looksy support. Shopify’s theme editor can preview changes on an unpublished duplicate theme, so you can trial different wording without shoppers ever seeing your drafts.
