Virtual Try-On for Shopify Stores

Transform your eyewear store with AI-powered virtual try-on that increases conversions by 32% and reduces returns by 45%. One-click installation, no coding required, works with any Shopify theme. Start with 50 free try-on sessions per month.

Why Your Shopify Store Needs Virtual Try-On

Online shopping for eyewear has a fundamental problem — customers can't try before they buy. This uncertainty leads to abandoned carts, lost sales, and return rates as high as 40% for eyewear products. Customers hesitate because they can't visualize how frames will look on their face, whether the size is right, or if the style matches their expectations.

Virtual try-on eliminates this friction by letting customers see products on themselves in real-time, directly from their browser. Using AI-powered face tracking with 468 facial landmarks and photorealistic 3D rendering, TryOn Virtual delivers an experience that builds confidence and drives purchase decisions.

The result? Merchants using virtual try-on report significantly higher conversion rates, longer engagement times, dramatically fewer returns, and increased customer satisfaction. For Shopify eyewear brands, virtual try-on isn't just a feature — it's a competitive advantage that directly impacts your bottom line.

What Your Customers Get

Real-time face tracking with 468 landmarks

MediaPipe-powered facial mesh detection ensures frames sit naturally on the face with accurate nose bridge alignment, temple positioning, and frame curvature. The tracking adapts in real-time as customers move their head, providing a realistic preview from every angle.

Photorealistic 3D rendering with PBR materials

Physically Based Rendering (PBR) with HDR environment maps creates accurate lens reflections, material textures, and lighting effects. Support for mirror coatings, gradient tints, and transparent lenses ensures every frame looks exactly as it would in real life.

Screenshot capture and side-by-side comparison

Customers can capture high-quality screenshots of themselves wearing different frames, compare multiple products side-by-side, and save favorites for later. This empowers confident purchase decisions and reduces buyer hesitation.

Works on mobile and desktop browsers

Fully responsive experience optimized for iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and all major desktop browsers. The WebGL-based rendering engine supports 98% of devices with no app download or plugin installation required.

No app download required

Everything runs directly in the browser with zero friction. Customers tap "Try On" and instantly see themselves wearing your products — no account creation, no permissions, no downloads. This zero-barrier experience maximizes engagement and conversion.

Works With Any Shopify Theme

TryOn Virtual is built as a native Shopify theme extension, which means it works seamlessly with all Shopify 2.0 themes — including Dawn, Debut, Refresh, and fully custom themes. Unlike traditional apps that require manual code injection or script tags, our theme extension integrates directly into your theme's architecture.

The try-on button automatically adapts to your theme's styling, respects your layout choices, and can be customized through the Shopify theme editor. Whether you're using a free theme from Shopify or a premium theme from developers like Out of the Sandbox or Pixel Union, TryOn Virtual works out of the box.

There's no code injection, no liquid template modifications, and no risk of breaking during theme updates. When you switch themes, TryOn Virtual automatically migrates with zero configuration needed. This future-proof approach ensures your virtual try-on experience remains stable and performant as your store evolves.

Privacy & Security

Client-side Processing

All face detection and 3D rendering happens locally in the customer's browser. No camera feed is ever transmitted to our servers.

No Biometric Storage

We never store facial data, images, or biometric information. Once the try-on session ends, all facial mesh data is immediately discarded.

GDPR Compliant

Fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy regulations. No personal data collection, no cookies for tracking, no third-party data sharing.
