Key Takeaways

• For Indian D2C fashion brands, a common choice will be WooCommerce, and virtual try-on can be integrated using a plugin or API connection, without a need to write any lines of code.
• The primary advantage of try-on technologies is to minimize uncertainty of fit, which helps to increase conversion and reduce returns of fit-sensitive items.

Why WooCommerce Fits Indian Fashion D2C

WooCommerce is free and flexible and is hosted on WordPress, with many small Indian brands already familiar with management. It allows you to sell products without paying any fees to the marketplace. The tradeoff is that advanced features, like try-on, have often needed a developer. That’s changing.

So What Virtual Try-On Adds to a WooCommerce Store

A try on widget provides the customer with a visual of what the garment will look like on a mannequin or even him or herself before adding it to their shopping cart. The purpose is to ask, “will this look on me?”. In the case of fit-sensitive items such as sarees, lehengas, and fitted dresses, that uncertainty factors into why shoppers give up on their purchase or return them. Generally, the benefit is that it can improve conversion, basket size and return rates – but that is dependent on the category and quality of the product.

• Slow loading: compress your product images and check your caching plugin settings.
• Poor try-on results: upload clearer, well-lit, wrinkle-free product photos.

On their product page, the buyer clicks the try on button, uploads an image or chooses a model and the product appears on them in seconds. They can then place it in the cart without having to exit the website.
