Virtual try-on in Portuguese (Portugal)

Portuguese (Portugal) shoppers and your product pages

European Portuguese is the written norm in Portugal, and it is also the standard generally followed in Portuguese-speaking African countries such as Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde. It differs from Brazilian Portuguese in spelling details, vocabulary, and tone — enough that a storefront localized for Brazil can read noticeably foreign in Lisbon. Forms of address carry more weight than in Brazil: tu is informal, while você and constructions like o senhor lean formal, so the register of your copy is a real decision. Like all Portuguese, the language depends on diacritics — ã, õ, ç, and accented vowels — which your theme must render faithfully.

What Looksy's language support covers

On the Shopify App Store, Looksy's listing enumerates 47 languages, with Portuguese (Portugal) as its own entry alongside Portuguese (Brazil). That is what is published; the depth of translation — whether it extends through the shopper-facing widget, the merchant dashboard, or both — is not. So verify rather than assume. Set a storefront to European Portuguese, open a product page, and complete a try-on on the Free plan, checking each label a shopper encounters. And remember what actually does the selling here: a generated image of the shopper wearing your product, which works the same whether the surrounding text is in Porto's Portuguese or anyone else's.

Setting up for Portuguese (Portugal)-speaking shoppers

Publish Portuguese (Portugal) as a storefront language in Shopify's settings, keeping it separate from any Brazilian Portuguese locale you may also run — the two should not share translations. Looksy's try-on block is a theme app extension: you enable it in the theme editor, edit no theme code, and it removes itself cleanly on uninstall. Then do a slow pass as a shopper. The Free plan's unlimited try-ons let you run the flow as many times as you need while you check button microcopy, confirm diacritics render correctly in your theme's fonts, and watch for Portuguese strings running longer than the English ones your layout was designed around.

The try-on flow in any language

Under the localized surface, the mechanics do not change. One uploaded photo becomes a try-on result on the product page in about 20 seconds, with no app install, no account signup, and no camera permission involved. Shoppers can retry, submit feedback, and download or share what they get. On pricing: the Free plan offers unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding; Starter is $14.99 per month, Growth is $29, and Scale is $79 and adds Realtime video try-on. All billing is usage-based and handled through Shopify without contracts, which makes it practical to prove out a European Portuguese storefront before paying anything.
