Which Products to Start With for Virtual Try-On
You do not need to add virtual try-on to your whole catalog on day one. Start with a few products, check the results, and then add more.
This guide helps you choose those first products.
Start small
For your first test, choose 3 to 5 products. A small test lets you:
- Check that the product photos work
- See the images on your own product pages
- Learn how many credits your products use
When the results look right, add more products.
Step 1: Choose products with suitable photos
The product photo is the most important filter. A product with a suitable photo is ready now. A product without one needs new photos first.
For Fit Model Look, the photo must show one real female model who wears the item and faces the camera. The photo must show the whole body. For a top, a photo from the head to the waist or hips also works, if the head is visible. Pants, skirts, dresses, and jumpsuits need a full-body photo. A photo of only the lower body does not work.
For the full rules, read How to Choose Product Photos for Virtual Try-On.
Step 2: Choose products that shoppers look at
From the products with suitable photos, choose the products that get the most views. Shoppers see try-on only on the products where you turn it on. Products that get few views give you little to check.
Good places to look:
- Your best sellers
- Products in your current campaign or on your home page
- New arrivals that you promote
Step 3: Choose items where the look on the body matters
Fit Model Look shows the item on two body types. This is most useful for items where shape and drape change on different bodies, for example dresses, pants, skirts, and fitted tops.
AI creates these images, so they can differ from the real product. They show how the item can look. They do not recommend a size.
Step 4: Check the colors
Fit Model Look uses one photo for each color. A color without a suitable photo does not show try-on.
For your first test, choose products where each color has its own model photo. If you only want to test one color, choose the color with the best photo.
How many credits a first test uses
Fit Model Look uses 1 credit for each image. One color with both body types uses 2 credits.
| Test | Credits |
|---|---|
| 1 product, 1 color | 2 |
| 5 products, 1 color each | 10 |
| 5 products, 3 colors each | 30 |
The Free plan includes 10 credits for 30 days. That is enough for 5 colors. Failed or blocked generation uses no credits.
If you generate several colors at the same time, Lookvert makes them in the background. This can take from a few minutes to a few hours. You can leave the page while it runs. Lookvert sends email updates every hour, and you can turn them off in Settings.
Compare plans to see the credits in each plan.
Products to leave for later
Some products are not ready for Fit Model Look yet:
- Products with only a male model. Fit Model Look currently supports only photos with a female model.
- Products with only flat photos. Fit Model Look needs a real model. Customer Look and Spin the Look can use a flat photo of the front of the item.
- Products with only close-ups. Use a photo that shows more of the model and the item.
Some photos also cannot show distinct body types. If you see this message, try a different photo of the item.
After your first test
- Open each product page and check the try-on button.
- Switch between the two body types and look at each image.
- If an image looks wrong, click "Report a problem" on the image in the app.
- When the results look right, add more products.
You can also decide later whether to turn on Customer Look. It lets shoppers try the item on with their own photo. It is off until you turn it on, and it uses your credits.
FAQ
Do I have to add all my products?
No. You choose which products show try-on. You can add more products at any time.
Does a shopper use credits when they switch body types?
No. A shopper who views an existing body-type image uses no credits.
Can I start with Spin the Look?
Spin the Look is available on the Growth plan. A 180° view uses 6 credits, so start with one or two products that you want to show from other sides.
