DTC and Shopify brands

One professional system.Immediate results

The path for small brands and retail gives you access to the same AR technology used by the industry's global leaders, designed for agile organisations. It is a complete system that covers everything, from managing your 3D models to publishing them to your online shop.

At its heart is ARShades Studio, the platform where you manage 3D models, catalogues and experiences, and track usage and results. Your customers get a smooth, realistic experience on any device, with no technical set-up on your side.

Go live fast with ARShades plugins

Going live is simple: you install the ARShades plugin on your online shop, connect your catalogue and switch on Virtual Try-On and 3D Viewer on your product pages, with no development. The plugin is available for Shopify today, and plugins for other CMS platforms are coming soon.

The plugin is a controlled delivery layer: your 3D models are served efficiently and consistently on your online shop, with your brand identity intact at every touchpoint. The Smart plan is set up through the plugin. For a bespoke online shop, there is the Enterprise path.

FAQ

No. The Smart plan is set up with the ARShades plugin for Shopify: you install it yourself, connect your catalogue, and Virtual Try-On and 3D Viewer appear on your product pages. We make the 3D models of your frames for you.

It starts on the XS tier, with 10 products and the experiences included in the plan, and we activate it for you within a few days; after that, you manage everything yourself. At the end of the trial, your monthly XS subscription begins unless you cancel. You can move up a tier whenever you like.

We do, and eyewear is all we work on. You order them from ARShades Studio, receive a quote and approve them before they are published. A finished model works for every experience, from Virtual Try-On to 3D Viewer.

Yes. The plugin is available for Shopify today, and plugins for other CMS platforms are coming soon. For a bespoke online shop, there is the Enterprise path.

You stay on the same infrastructure: move up a tier or add modules as needed. Once you have more markets, more teams or a catalogue of over 200 SKUs, the Enterprise path starts with a demo and a pilot project, with nothing to rebuild.
