How to Add Virtual Try-On in 5 Steps (No 3D Models Needed) | DrapX AI Blog

Adding virtual try-on to a Shopify store used to mean 3D scanning garments, custom SDKs, and an agency invoice. With DrapX AI it's a five-step process that takes under ten minutes end to end, with the install itself live in under 30 seconds. No 3D models, no code.

The 5 Steps

  • Install the DrapX app from the Shopify App Store. One click, and the Free plan needs no credit card.
  • Let the widget auto-embed: DrapX detects your product pages and places the try-on button automatically.
  • Style it to your brand: adjust button placement, colors, and fonts on any plan. Paid plans can also add your own brand watermark.
  • Run a test try-on with your own photo on a few products to check garment rendering.
  • Turn on analytics and lead capture so every try-on is measured and every engaged shopper is capturable.

What Happens on the Shopper's Side

The shopper taps 'Try It On', uploads a photo, and gets a physics-simulated render of themselves in the garment in about 9 seconds, with fabric drape, gravity, and lighting preserved. Their photo is auto-deleted within 10 days, and there's no DrapX watermark on the result on any plan.

Do I need special product photos?

No, your existing e-commerce photos work. Cleaner, front-facing garment shots produce the best renders.

Does it slow my store down?

No. Generation runs on DrapX's GPU clusters, not your storefront, and the widget loads asynchronously.

Can I limit which products show the widget?

Yes, you control exactly where the try-on button appears.

How much does it cost to start?

The Free plan is $0 for 15 try-ons per month with no credit card. See the pricing section for all plans, or estimate your return with the ROI calculator.
