Photo try-on gives shoppers a realistic picture of themselves in your product. Live Try-On removes the last step: no photo to pick, no wait. The shopper opens their camera and sees the garment on themselves, live, as they move. It is the closest thing to a mirror a product page can offer.

Live Try-On ships today as a **beta** for Shopify stores.

## How it works

- A second app block, **Genlook Live Try-On**, appears in your theme editor once the feature is on. Place it next to your regular try-on button; it shares the same styling options and uses a camera icon by default.
- The shopper taps it, allows camera access, and sees the product on themselves in real time.
- It follows your existing product visibility rules, so it only shows on products where try-on is enabled.

## Off by default, and priced for the beta

Live Try-On is entirely opt-in. Turn it on in **Settings → Try-on experience**. The classic photo try-on keeps working unchanged whether or not you enable it.

Live sessions use more compute than a photo, so they draw more from your plan:

- A live session runs for up to 20 seconds and uses 4 try-on credits.
- Each shopper gets up to 1 minute of live try-on per week, so nobody can burn through your allowance.
- By default, only logged-in customers see the live button. You can open it to every visitor from the same settings page.

The exact rates are shown next to the toggle before you enable anything.

## Keep both buttons

Photo try-on produces an image the shopper can save and share. Live Try-On is the instant wow. They complement each other, and we recommend running both.

This is a beta: behavior and pricing may still evolve, and your feedback shapes what comes next. Tell us what you think at [support@genlook.app](mailto:support@genlook.app).
