CatalogShoot · Tutorial

How CatalogShoot Works

Turn the product photos you already have into on-model catalog shots — and let shoppers try your garments on themselves, right on the product page.

Add to Shopify

1. The big idea

CatalogShoot does two jobs from the photos you already have. Master these and the rest is detail.

🧍

Create a model

Build an AI model once — body, look, vibe — and reuse it across your whole catalog. Add poses so every product gets consistent angles.

Generate try-ons

Put a garment on your model in seconds. Full-resolution, nothing published yet — you review before anything reaches your store.
🚀

Publish

Add to gallery sends the photo to Shopify. The only step that touches your store — and it’s reversible (your originals are always kept).
👗

Storefront Try-On

Flip it on and shoppers try the garment on themselves from a selfie — they buy with confidence and return less.
A real shopper try-on — your garment on their body, generated from a single selfie.

3. Models & poses

A model is the person who wears your garments. Build one once and reuse it everywhere, so your catalog looks like a single, consistent shoot.

  1. Create a model
    In Models → Model Studio, describe the look you want — body type, skin tone, hair, overall vibe — and generate. Keep the ones that fit your brand.
  2. Add poses
    Each model carries a pose pack — front, side, and more. Poses give every product the same set of angles, so the catalog stays uniform.

4. Generate try-ons

Now dress your model in a real product.

  1. Pick a product
    Open Products and choose the garment you want catalog photos for. CatalogShoot uses the images already on the product — nothing new to shoot.
  2. Choose model + pose
    Select one of your models and a pose. This is the angle and the person your garment will appear on.
  3. Generate
    Get a full-resolution try-on in seconds. Generate a few — different poses or models — and compare.
  4. Review, then publish
    Zoom in, crop if you like, and when a shot is a keeper, Add to gallery to publish it to the product on Shopify. Don’t love it? It never leaves CatalogShoot.

5. Turn on the storefront Try-On

This is what makes CatalogShoot more than a photo tool: shoppers put your garment on their own body from a selfie, right on the product page.

  1. Enable Try-On per product
    In Products, switch Try-On on for the items you want it on (or enable a whole category or vendor in bulk). Off by default, so you stay in control.
  2. Add the button to your theme

    In the Shopify theme editor you have two options — use either or both:

    • Inline button — add the Try It On block to your product template and drop it wherever you like (next to the price or Add-to-cart).
    • Floating button — turn on the Try It On (floating) app embed for a button that rides a corner of every enabled product page. No placement needed.
  3. That's it
    On enabled products the button appears; a shopper taps it, uploads a photo, and sees your garment on themselves — then adds to cart, or saves and shares the look.

6. Style the button

The button’s label and colours are set in one place — the app’s Try-On settings — and both buttons (inline and floating) read from it, so they always match. Set it once; no editing per block in the theme editor.

✏️

Label

Whatever fits your store — “Try it on”, “See it on you”, “Virtual try-on”.
🎨

Colours

Pick a button colour and text colour from the swatch, or paste a brand hex. A live preview shows exactly what shoppers see.

Placement

The inline button goes wherever you drop it; the floating button has corner + edge-distance controls. Need more? Both expose stable CSS classes.

7. Per-shopper limits

The Try-On settings page also tunes the conversion flywheel — how much shoppers can try before signing in, and a safety ceiling so costs never run away.

🙈

Anonymous tries

A free taste for first-time visitors. Tighter caps nudge more shoppers to sign in; looser caps reduce friction.
🙋

Logged-in tries

A more generous bucket once a shopper signs in — the reward for converting.
🛡️

Shop-wide ceiling

A whole-store hourly cap — your last line of defence against runaway usage.

8. Try-On activity

See try-ons as shoppers run them — which products are getting tried on, and how often. It’s your read on what’s resonating, and a sign of buying intent.
