Virtual try-on in Persian

Persian shoppers and your product pages

Persian is the official language of Iran, and closely related standard varieties are official elsewhere — Dari in Afghanistan and Tajik in Tajikistan, the latter written in Cyrillic. The Persian most merchants will configure uses the Perso-Arabic script and runs right to left. That single fact drives most of the storefront work: text alignment, layout mirroring, and the placement of icons and buttons all behave differently in a right-to-left context. Persian also has its own digit forms alongside Western numerals, so prices and sizes deserve a deliberate decision about which digits your store displays.

What Looksy's language support covers

Persian is included in the 47 languages enumerated on Looksy's Shopify App Store listing. What that enumeration covers in depth — shopper-facing try-on interface versus merchant dashboard — is not published, and with a right-to-left language the difference matters more than usual. Install on the Free plan, set your storefront to Persian, and inspect the try-on flow directly: does the interface text appear in Persian, and does it sit correctly in a mirrored layout? The generated image itself is the easy part — a photo of the shopper wearing the product needs no translation in either direction.

Setting up for Persian-speaking shoppers

Configure Persian in Shopify's language settings first, assuming your theme supports right-to-left layouts. Looksy adds itself as a theme app extension block from the theme editor, with no theme code edits required and a clean uninstall. Then test more carefully than you would for a left-to-right language: the Free plan's unlimited try-ons let you run the flow as many times as it takes. Check that button microcopy is not clipped or misaligned when mirrored, that punctuation lands on the correct side of sentences, and that any mixed Persian-and-Latin text — brand names, sizes — reads sensibly inside a right-to-left block.

The try-on flow in any language

Whatever language the interface shows, the try-on works the same way. The shopper uploads one photo; the result renders on the product page in around 20 seconds; no app, account, or camera permission is required. Retry, feedback, download, and share are all built in. The Free plan offers unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding, paid tiers run $14.99, $29, and $79 per month, and realtime video try-on arrives on the $79 Scale plan. Billing is usage-based via Shopify with no contracts, which keeps a Persian-language trial low-risk while you verify the details above.
