Virtual try-on in English

English shoppers and your product pages

English is the primary language of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and an official language in many more countries. It is written left to right in the Latin alphabet without diacritics, which keeps rendering simple in most Shopify themes. The main variation merchants deal with is regional: British and American spelling differ (colour versus color), and clothing vocabulary shifts between markets, so product copy and size terminology should match the audience you actually sell to.

What Looksy's language support covers

English appears in the 47-language enumeration on Looksy's Shopify App Store listing. What the listing does not publish is the exact depth of that support — whether it covers the shopper-facing try-on interface, the merchant dashboard, or both — so treat it as something to verify rather than assume. The practical check is simple: install on the Free plan, run the try-on flow in English on your own store, and read every label shoppers see. The core output needs no translation at all — the try-on is an image, and a picture of a shopper wearing your product reads the same in any language.

Setting up for English-speaking shoppers

Set your store's language in Shopify's admin settings, or add English as an additional language if your primary market is elsewhere. Looksy installs as a theme app extension, so the try-on block is added from the theme editor without touching theme code, and it removes cleanly if you uninstall. Before promoting the feature, use the Free plan's unlimited try-ons to walk through the flow yourself: check the button label, the upload prompt, and the result screen against the rest of your theme's copy so nothing reads out of place.

The try-on flow in any language

The mechanics are the same everywhere. A shopper uploads one photo and sees themselves in the product on the product page in roughly 20 seconds — no app to install, no account to create, no camera permission to grant. They can retry, leave feedback, and download or share the result. The Free plan includes unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding and a $100 additional-revenue cap; paid plans run $14.99, $29, and $79 per month with rising credit and revenue limits. Realtime video try-on is available on the $79 Scale plan. Billing is usage-based through Shopify, with no contracts.
