Try-on or size recommendation?

One shows the garment on the shopper's photo. The other calculates their size, with no photo. Two different questions.

  • Size calculated with no photo
  • Try-on on a photo
  • Photo not stored
In short

What is the difference?

Size recommendation tells the shopper which size to order: a few answers, a size calculated in the product's size chart, no photo needed. Virtual try-on shows what the garment looks like: it is rendered on the shopper's photo. With WeeFizz, the size always comes from the recommendation, never from the photo.

Two tools

Two questions, two answers.

Size recommendation

“Which size should I order?” The shopper gives gender, height, weight and age, then picks their body shape from images. The engine derives 14 measurements and matches them with the product's size chart, ease included. No photo. WeeFizz Fashion

Virtual try-on

“What does this garment look like on me?” The shopper takes a photo or picks one from their gallery, checks it, then sees the garment worn within seconds. WeeFizz Essayage

When to use which

Start from what makes shoppers hesitate.

  • "M or L?" Your returns come mainly from size: start with size recommendation.
  • "Will it suit me?" Your shoppers hesitate over style, cut or colour: add virtual try-on.
  • Both. The shopper sees the garment worn, then gets their size, calculated in your chart.

Key point: WeeFizz calculates the size with no photo, from a few answers, in each product's real size chart. The try-on photo is used only for the rendering and is not stored.

FAQ

Try-on or size: your questions.

What is the difference between virtual try-on and size recommendation?

Size recommendation answers “which size should I order?”: the shopper gives a few answers and gets a size calculated in the product's size chart, with no photo. Virtual try-on answers “what does this garment look like on me?”: the garment is rendered on the shopper's photo.

Does virtual try-on give the right size?

No. The rendering shows the look, style and colour of the garment on the shopper's figure, not the difference between two sizes. With WeeFizz Essayage, the size is still calculated by the WeeFizz size recommendation, from the size chart.

Does WeeFizz size recommendation need a photo?

No. The shopper gives their gender, height, weight and age, then picks their body shape from images. The engine derives 14 measurements and matches them with each product's size chart. No photo, no tape measure.

What happens to the shopper's photo in virtual try-on?

With WeeFizz Essayage, the photo is sent over an encrypted connection (SSL), is used only to create the image of the garment worn and is not stored. The shopper checks their photo before anything is sent.

Do I have to choose one or the other?

No, they work together. Start with size recommendation if your returns come mainly from size errors. Add virtual try-on if your shoppers also hesitate over the style or look of the garment.
