Getting Started with Picture It

How to set up Live Previews and Virtual Showrooms in Shopify

Once you have Picture It installed on your Shopify account, you'll be directed to the homepage. From here, you can start adding live previews to your products by following these steps:

1. Navigate to "My Products"

Select a product you'd like to activate. Click "activate" to add the live preview.


If the product has variants, you can select whether you want to only use the defaultparent image, or activate live previews for each individual variant as well (this is only recommended if your variant images do not have backgrounds)

2. Edit your product's preview

Once you activate a product, you can edit the main preview image, remove any backgrounds, set the image's dimensions, and do the same for its variants.

Variant images and dimensions are all imported and can be customized:

3. Edit your preview button

Activated products will show the Live Preview button. This can be customized in the Settings page, or be embedded and customized directly as an app block in your Store's Theme Editor.

4. Add a virtual showroom (Optional)

To customize your virtual showroom and its backgrounds, navigate to the "Virtual Showrooms" page. Each collection will contain a set of customizable backgrounds. Once in a background collection, you can select or upload background images to use and edit their widths so that your products fit into the image realistically.

5. Start previewing

Preview your activated products and see your virtual showrooms and augmented reality in action!
