Notes from actually running this: adding AI try-on, improving store conversion, and preparing transparent PNGs.
What AI virtual try-on is, how far you can go for free, and how to install it on Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop and any other store β in one page. Covers the transparent PNGs and real-world sizes you need to prepare, pricing, and FAQs, using real screens from running several hundred SKUs in our own store.
The practical side of configuring try-on per product in the DokimiAI Shopify app: the Try-On Images screen, matching color names to variant option values, why images belong in Shopify Files, product height and per-size heights, and tracking what's registered.
The practical side of configuring try-on per product in the WooCommerce plugin: matching color names on variable products, choosing the right image, deciding the size value, the SKU requirement for size variants, and an efficient order for registering many products.
The cost of virtual try-on isn't just the monthly fee. It's the time to prepare transparent PNGs, register real sizes, and get the first product working. From running it in our own store: a breakdown of money vs. time, what you can verify for free, and when paying makes sense.
When a shopper turns on their camera for virtual try-on, where does the footage go? How DokimiAI runs face detection and compositing entirely in the browser, sends and stores nothing, what that lets you state in your privacy policy, and how to verify it yourself.
The thing that makes or breaks earring try-on isn't image quality β it's whether the size on the ear matches the real product. How mm-based rendering works, what value to register, how size variants behave, and what it looks like when the number is wrong.
What to verify when picking a virtual try-on app for a Shopify jewelry store: where camera footage is processed, real-scale rendering, whether your own product images are used, variant sync, theme integration, page speed, and how billing works. A checklist for judging by whether it works with your products, not by the demo video.
How to add virtual try-on to stores on platforms without a dedicated app or plugin β Squarespace, Wix, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, custom builds. Register products in the console, paste one script tag plus a button per product, and your images stay on your own server.
How to add virtual try-on to a WordPress site that sells jewelry. If you run WooCommerce, install the plugin; if you don't, paste one line of embed code. Either way there are no server changes, and your product images stay in your media library.
Step-by-step: install the plugin, register a transparent PNG and real-world size on each product's edit screen, and check the storefront. No server changes, no API keys, and your media library images work as they are.
Every step to get a try-on button on your Shopify product pages: installing the app, registering a transparent PNG and real-world size per product, placing the App Block in the theme editor, and checking it on the storefront β including the things that trip merchants up.
Virtual try-on needs one transparent PNG per product β and for earrings, that's the hard part. Here's the shooting setup, the background-removal workflow, and the products that won't cut cleanly, based on processing several hundred SKUs in our own store.
