How to Add Virtual Try-On to Your Online Store: Complete Installation Guide

2025-10-09โ€ข8 min read

Online fashion sales suffer from a persistent problem: returns. Customers can't visualize how clothes will look on them, leading to hesitant purchases, abandoned carts, and expensive returns. In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn how to implement virtual try-on technology on your online store (Shopify or WordPress/WooCommerce) to increase conversions by 64% and reduce returns by 40%.

What is Virtual Try-On Technology?

Virtual try-on technology allows customers to see how clothing and accessories look on themselves (or models) before making a purchase. There are two main approaches:

  • AR-powered try-on: Uses augmented reality and device cameras for real-time visualization
  • AI-powered try-on: Uses artificial intelligence to generate photorealistic images of products on uploaded photos

Tryly.ai uses advanced AI technology trained on millions of fashion images to understand fabric physics, body proportions, and garment behavior. When a customer uploads their photo, the AI analyzes body shape and precisely maps how clothing would fit, drape, and move on them.

This technology matters for e-commerce because it bridges the gap between online and in-store shopping. Customers gain confidence in their purchases, leading to higher conversion rates and fewer returns.
