Shopify Virtual Try-On

Shopify virtual try-on: how to add it to your store

A Shopify virtual try-on app puts a button on your product page that lets a shopper see the garment on their own body before buying. With DrapX AI the shopper uploads one photo, and about 8.5 seconds later they are looking at a photorealistic image of themselves wearing the item, without leaving the page or installing anything.

This page covers the practical side: what installation actually involves, what changes on your storefront, what it costs, and what to expect in the first month. If you are still deciding between providers, the comparison of every Shopify virtual try-on app is the better starting point.

What installing it actually involves

DrapX is a native Shopify app, so the install is the ordinary Shopify flow: open the App Store listing, click install, approve the permissions, and the widget embeds itself on your product pages. There is no theme code to paste, no Liquid to edit, and no developer to book. Start to finish it takes under 30 seconds, and it works the same way on a theme you bought as on one you built.

Once it is live you can change the widget's colors, fonts, button label, and placement to match your brand. That customization is on every plan, including the free one, so you are not stuck with a generic button until you upgrade.

  • Install from the Shopify App Store listing and approve permissions.
  • The try-on widget auto-embeds on every product page. No theme editing.
  • Adjust colors, fonts, button copy, and placement from the app settings.
  • Publish. Shoppers see the button immediately.

What your shoppers see

The shopper taps the try-on button, uploads a photo or takes a mirror selfie, and waits about 8.5 seconds. Our vision model crops and aligns the photo, then the rendering engine maps the garment onto their body while simulating how that fabric drapes, stretches, and catches the light in their photo. The result is a still image they can save, share, or use to make up their mind.

It runs entirely in the mobile browser, which matters more than it sounds. In-store shoppers and social traffic will not install an app to try on a shirt, so anything requiring a download loses most of the people it was built for.

What it costs on Shopify

The free plan is $0 for 15 try-ons a month and stays free. It is not a trial with a countdown, there is no card required, and there is no DrapX watermark on the results at any tier. Paid plans are Starter at $19.99 for 150 try-ons, Growth at $44.99 for 500, and Pro at $119.99 for 1,500, billed through Shopify and cancellable from your admin.

The paid tiers are mostly volume. Every feature, including widget customization, try-on analytics, lead capture, and shareable results, is on every plan. The only paid-exclusive option is applying your own brand watermark to generated images. To work out which tier you will land on, estimate try-ons as a share of your product page sessions and run the number through the ROI calculator.

What to expect in the first month

Merchants typically see a measurable conversion change within the first week, and the effect is strongest on items over $80 where hesitation is highest. Across brands running DrapX, reported conversion lifts land in the 10 to 30% range and return rates drop by up to 20%. Your numbers will depend on category, price point, and how prominent the try-on button is on the page.

Every plan includes try-on event analytics, so you can see which products get tried on and which try-ons turn into purchases rather than guessing. Before you install anything, the free conversion simulator will forecast the range for your own traffic.

Where DrapX does not fit

Two honest limits. First, DrapX is Shopify only right now. There is no WooCommerce app, no headless support, and no public API, so a custom storefront cannot use it. More platforms are on the roadmap, and if you sell elsewhere, tell us where and we will let you know when it lands.

Second, garment coverage. Tops, dresses, jackets, coats, and full outfits are fully supported. Bottoms, swimwear, and accessories are actively being expanded, so if your catalog is mostly denim or jewelry today, check with us first or look at an accessory-focused tool in the app comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Install a virtual try-on app from the Shopify App Store. With DrapX AI that is the whole process: install, approve permissions, and the widget embeds itself on your product pages automatically. No theme code, no Liquid editing, and no developer. It takes under 30 seconds and you can customize the widget appearance afterwards from the app settings.

Yes. DrapX is a native Shopify app rather than a code snippet you paste into a theme, so the try-on widget embeds itself on product pages automatically after install and keeps working when you change themes. Colors, fonts, button labels, and placement are customizable on every plan, including Free.

It should not. The DrapX widget loads asynchronously and is served from a global CDN, so it does not block page rendering or hurt your Core Web Vitals or PageSpeed scores. If you are evaluating other apps, ask specifically whether the widget loads async and whether any SDK has to download before the page is interactive, since some AR SDKs add several seconds of client-side load.

Not with a native app. DrapX is built for merchants, not engineers: the install handles the embed, and every plan includes real human support if something looks wrong. Growth and Pro plans also include a personal onboarding call. Apps that use JavaScript embeds, custom SDKs, or sideloaded integrations are the ones likely to need developer time, both at setup and after theme updates.

DrapX starts at $0 for 15 try-ons a month, permanently, with no watermark and no card required. Paid plans are $19.99 for 150 try-ons, $44.99 for 500, and $119.99 for 1,500, with per-extra-try-on overage between $0.10 and $0.14. Across the market, entry paid tiers cluster around $15 to $20 a month, and pricing diverges most at high volume.

Yes, and mobile is where most of the traffic is. DrapX runs entirely in the mobile browser: the shopper uploads a photo or takes a selfie on the product page and gets a result in about 8.5 seconds. There is no app for the shopper to download, which matters because most people will not install anything to try on one garment.
