Fittingbox Virtual Try-On

Fittingbox Virtual Try-On is an augmented-reality service for eyewear retailers and other professionals selling eyeglasses or sunglasses. It suits businesses that need both camera and photo try-on, a large frame catalog, and integration choices ranging from plug-and-play to API work. The main decision is whether its paid, session-based tiers match your catalog and traffic.

Overview

The service places realistic digital frames on a shopper’s face through a device’s front camera. A shopper can also upload a gallery photo, which provides a try-on route without granting camera access. Size Guarantee shows a frame at its accurate size on the face, adding a practical fit reference rather than relying only on appearance.

Fittingbox is built specifically for eyewear professionals: it supports eyeglasses and sunglasses, not other accessories. Retailers can select an API-based customizable integration or plug-and-play options for a website or in-store experience. Its database is updated daily and contains nearly 200,000 references from more than 1,200 brands. Fittingbox can digitize a customer’s own collection, which is important for private-label or otherwise unlisted frames.

Privacy is a clear strength for retailers with strict data requirements. Fittingbox says try-on images are processed live in the user’s browser and are not hosted, stored, or retained by the company. It says it collects anonymous usage statistics, does not collect personal data from end users, and is GDPR compliant.

Key features

• Camera and photo modes: Real-time front-camera placement gives shoppers an interactive preview, while photo upload serves people who decline camera permission or are browsing without live camera access.
• Size Guarantee: Showing a frame at its accurate size helps shoppers assess fit on their own face, making the tool more useful than a purely visual overlay.
• Large, synchronized catalog: Daily updates and almost 200,000 references reduce catalog-maintenance work for retailers carrying mainstream brands. Fittingbox can digitize proprietary collections when a frame is absent.
• Integration choice: An API supports a tailored implementation; plug-and-play options target faster website or store deployment. Advanced website Live mode requires HTTPS, and an embedded parent iframe must allow camera access.
• Shopify constraint: The Shopify app displays its try-on button only for frames already in the Fittingbox database. Private-brand SKUs must be digitized before they can be added, so catalog coverage should be checked before deployment.
• Support: Customers can use a help desk, Customer Success team, and technical integration guides. That combination is more suitable for commercial implementations than for a do-it-yourself consumer project.

Pricing

Fittingbox is paid software with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Every named tier includes core features, limited 3D digitization from photos, and synchronization with the Fittingbox Database; the practical differences are product and monthly try-on allowances.

Bronze is aimed at a small assortment with modest traffic; its 10-product and 500-session ceilings can arrive quickly for a busy store. Silver is the more workable middle tier for a broader range, while Gold is intended for catalogs up to 200 products and higher monthly demand. The annual option on the three fixed tiers saves 17%, but commits the customer to annual billing. Custom is the route for unlimited sessions, a larger catalog, advanced modules, and full support, with the trade-off that the price must be obtained on demand.

Platforms

Fittingbox supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and API access. E-commerce compatibility includes Shopify, Magento, Drupal, PrestaShop, and WooCommerce. Wix is not supported. Website Live mode needs HTTPS, and camera use inside an iframe depends on the parent iframe allowing camera access.

Who it's for

This is a strong fit for eyewear retailers, brands, and professional sellers that want a sizeable synchronized catalog, proprietary-frame digitization, and a choice between a ready-made deployment and custom API integration. It is also appropriate for organizations that want browser-side image processing and stated GDPR compliance.

It is a weaker match for a general fashion business, since the product scope stops at eyeglasses and sunglasses. Small shops with very low traffic may find the paid-only entry point and fixed session caps less flexible than a freemium tool. Shopify merchants with private-label ranges should budget for digitization before expecting every product to expose the try-on button.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Camera and photo input accommodate different shopper privacy preferences and device situations.
• Pro: Size Guarantee adds a concrete sizing aid to the visual preview.
• Pro: Nearly 200,000 daily updated references and custom collection digitization suit established eyewear catalogs.
• Pro: API and plug-and-play paths support both bespoke builds and quicker website or store deployment.
• Con: There is no free plan, and the entry Bronze tier allows only 10 active products and 500 monthly try-ons.
• Con: The product does not cover non-eyewear accessories.
• Con: Shopify’s button is limited to database-listed frames, leaving private-brand products dependent on digitization.
• Con: Advanced Live mode has HTTPS and iframe camera-permission requirements that add setup work.

Alternatives

Kivisense Virtual Try-On is worth choosing when a free, two-SKU non-commercial tier or Android, iOS, and web coverage matters more than Fittingbox’s eyewear catalog and integration breadth; its free Essential plan includes a watermark, while Commercial is $888 a month.

Rehangable is a web-only alternative with a free tier and a 4.99 GBP monthly Basic plan for 10 high-quality try-ons.

Veesual is a paid, credit-based option for Android, iOS, web, and API deployments, starting at 40.00 EUR for credits that never expire.

Tryonixs is a freemium alternative with Android, iOS, web, and API support; its Starter plan is $19 a month for up to 25 products and includes Shopify integration.

Verdict

Choose Fittingbox Virtual Try-On if you are an eyewear business that needs accurate frame previews, a very large synchronized catalog, and integration flexibility backed by professional support. Look elsewhere if you need a free entry tier, sell accessories beyond eyewear, or cannot accommodate its product, session, HTTPS, and Shopify catalog constraints.
