Virtual try-on in Filipino

Filipino shoppers and your product pages

Filipino is the national language of the Philippines, a standardized register based on Tagalog, and it shares official status there with English. It is written in the Latin alphabet, so it raises no special script or rendering concerns in a Shopify theme. What is distinctive is how routinely Filipino speakers mix Filipino and English in everyday speech and commerce — product names, sizes, and payment terms often stay in English even when surrounding copy is in Filipino. A product page that switches languages mid-flow will not look broken to these shoppers, but consistent Filipino microcopy around the try-on button still signals care.

What Looksy's language support covers

Filipino appears in the 47-language enumeration on Looksy's Shopify App Store listing. What the listing does not publish is how deep that support runs — whether it covers the shopper-facing try-on interface, the merchant dashboard, or both. So treat the listing as a starting point, not a promise: install on the Free plan, switch your test view to Filipino, and walk the try-on flow yourself before telling customers it works in their language. One thing needs no verification at all — the try-on result is an image of the shopper wearing the product, and an image reads the same in any language.

Setting up for Filipino-speaking shoppers

Start in Shopify's admin under Settings, then Languages, and add Filipino as a published language if your theme supports it. Looksy installs as a theme app extension block, so you place it from the theme editor without touching theme code, and it removes cleanly if you uninstall. Then test: the Free plan includes unlimited try-ons, so run the flow repeatedly on your own product pages. Read every piece of button microcopy in context, and decide deliberately where English loanwords are acceptable and where you want Filipino throughout — inconsistency here is a choice shoppers will notice, even if it does not confuse them.

The try-on flow in any language

The mechanics are the same for every shopper: upload one photo, and the try-on result appears on the product page in roughly 20 seconds — no app to install, no account to create, no camera permission to grant. Shoppers can retry, leave feedback, and download or share the result. Pricing runs from a Free plan with unlimited try-ons and Looksy branding, through Starter at $14.99 per month and Growth at $29, up to Scale at $79, which adds realtime video try-on. Billing is usage-based through Shopify, with no contracts, so testing with Filipino-speaking customers carries no long-term commitment.
