The full journey from the shopper's side — first visit, photo, render, outfits, wardrobe, and checkout — so you know exactly what you've turned on.
The short version: First-timers get a three-beat welcome — your photo, the item, the try-on — then upload a photo or pick a sample model. The render lands in seconds with an add-to-cart button at the real price. Every look saves automatically to an on-device Wardrobe, outfits build across product pages with instant take-off, and browse inside the widget covers your whole enabled catalog with a search that tolerates typos.
The shopper journey: photo (or sample model) → pick an item → the render lands → add to cart. Every result auto-saves to their wardrobe.
The first time a shopper opens the try-on on your store, a short welcome screen sets expectations — see it on you, instantly — with two clear paths: Use My Photo or Use a Model (a small roster of sample models, for shoppers not ready to upload). A quiet consent line links your shoppers to the terms and privacy policy. If you've turned on Photo guidance, the three photo essentials appear right there — fitted clothing, full body, good lighting — as one line with a see-examples link, never a pop-up.
On phones, shoppers choose camera or gallery; on desktop, a file picker. Ello checks the photo — file type, size, and a body check that needs shoulders and hips visible — and gives specific, friendly feedback rather than a generic error. The photo is remembered on their device, so return visits skip straight to trying things on. Full details in photo guidelines.
Generation takes seconds. A progress screen shows both images — the product and their photo — with rotating tips while they wait. The result keeps the shopper's own photo framing (no cropped heads or feet), and for back-print products it arrives with a front/back toggle. With a saved photo, tapping Try On on any product fires immediately — one tap, zero extra screens.
Per your Widget Design style: on the product photo itself (the photo becomes them wearing it, original a tap away) or inside Ello's panel. Either way the result carries an Add to Cart button with the live price and a size picker when the product needs one. Adding to cart uses your theme's own cart — count updates, drawer opens if your theme does that — without reloading the page, so the result stays on screen.
Shoppers can layer pieces across product pages — try the tee, open the shorts, add them on top. A "your look" row shows each piece as a chip; tapping a piece takes it off instantly (Ello restores the earlier image rather than re-rendering — taking off is free and immediate). The add-to-cart button adapts to the selection: add one piece, add both, add the look, with a live total.
Every result saves automatically to My Wardrobe — stored on the shopper's own device, with no item caps. It holds their photo, every saved look (front and back where applicable), and full outfits as editable cards: reopen a look, toggle pieces, add to cart from the wardrobe viewer. It's the reason return visits convert — the fitting room remembers.
The widget includes your full enabled catalog: a Featured product and Quick picks you can pin (or Ello curates), category chips, price sort, sold-out badges, and a search that handles word order, plurals, misspellings, and synonyms — "sweatshirt" finds hoodies. A dead-end search never strands anyone: no-result screens offer popular picks.
What Ello never does to your page: The widget never moves, covers, or re-wires your theme's buy box; its styles are isolated so they can't leak into your theme; new features ship off by default; and if anything fails to load, Ello hides itself rather than showing your shoppers an error.
No. The welcome screen offers sample models, so shoppers can see the product on a model instantly and upload their own photo whenever they're ready. Uploading their own photo is what makes the experience personal, so most engaged shoppers do.
No account, no login, no email required. Their photo and wardrobe live on their own device. Email is only requested if you enable the optional lead-capture prompt, and it never blocks the result.
No — and we're direct about that. Ello shows the look: the item on the shopper's own photo, their framing preserved. It doesn't measure bodies or predict size, so the widget notes that body shapes and personal features may not be represented exactly.
The widget loads lazily so it never slows your page, and if it can't load at all it hides itself completely — your product page looks exactly as it would without Ello, never broken.
Every render lands in their on-device Wardrobe automatically and stays there across visits. From the result they can save the look, keep building an outfit, or add to cart.
