Implementing AI in your e-commerce store is simpler than it seems: in just 5 minutes, you can add a virtual try-on that increases conversion by up to 94% and reduces returns by 25%. Just copy and paste a script—no developer or technical knowledge required.
Have you ever decided not to implement something in your store because it seemed “too complicated”? If you’re like most store owners, you’ve given up on promising tools after reading tutorials full of technical terms, confusing code, and steps that seemed to require an IT team.
The good news? Implementing AI in your e-commerce store doesn’t have to be that way. With the right technology, you can offer your customers a virtual try-on experience in less time than it takes to have a cup of coffee—and without having to hire a developer.
In this practical guide, I’ll show you exactly how to add an AI virtual try-on in less than 5 minutes—without breaking your store, without the headache, and with immediate results that will transform the way your customers shop.
Before vs. After: What Changes in Practice
Before we dive into the step-by-step process, imagine what your customers’ experience would be with and without a virtual try-on. The difference is transformative—and the numbers prove it:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Customers hesitate when buying clothes online | Customers see exactly how the item looks on them |
| High return rate because "it wasn’t what I expected" | Returns drop by up to 25% |
| Competitors offer the same static experience | Your store offers an immersive virtual try-on |
| Dependence on expensive professional photos | AI automatically generates realistic images |
The 5-Minute Process
Now that you understand the impact, let’s get to what really matters: how to implement this in your store. The process is surprisingly simple and can be completed in five quick steps:

Step 1: Create Your Account (2 Minutes)
Go to the Provei.AI dashboard and complete your registration. No credit card is required—you can explore the tool before making any commitment.
Pro tip
Use the same email address as your store to make management easier.
Step 2: Copy the Integration Script (30 Seconds)
Once your account is created, the next step is to get the integration code. In your dashboard, locate the “Integration” section. There you’ll find a unique JavaScript code for your store:
<script src=“https://cdn.provei.ai/v1/provei.min.js” data-store-id=“SEU_ID_AQUI” async></script>
Copy this entire snippet. It’s the only thing you need to install.
Step 3: Paste It Into Your Store (1 Minute)
Now comes the technical part—which is actually just copy and paste. Go to your platform’s admin panel and paste the script into the field intended for code in the <head> or before the closing </body> tag.
Shopify
Settings > Code and formatting > Theme header
WooCommerce
Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS (or scripts plugin)
VTEX
Admin > Store Setup > Storefront > Scripts
Nuvemshop
Settings > External codes
Common issue
If you can’t find the scripts field, look for “Google Tag Manager” — it works the same way.
Step 4: Configure Your Products (1 Minute)
With the script installed, it’s time to choose which products will have the virtual try-on. Back in the Provei.AI dashboard, go to “Products” and add the URLs of the items you want to enable. Our AI automatically scrapes the images.
Bulk import
You can activate dozens of products in just a few clicks — simply paste a list of URLs or import them directly from the catalog.
Step 5: Test and Publish (30 Seconds)
We’ve reached the moment of truth. Open any product page in your store. The “Try with AI” button will appear automatically. Click it, run a test, and verify that everything works perfectly.
Ready!
Your implementation is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before you get started, it’s normal to have some concerns. Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive from store owners:
Will this make my store slower?
No. The script loads asynchronously (async), meaning it doesn’t block your page from loading. It’s smaller than a WhatsApp button and hosted on a global CDN for maximum speed.
What if it doesn't work with my theme?
It works with any theme. The script automatically detects product pages and adds the button in the correct location. We’ve already tested it on hundreds of different themes — from the most popular to unique customizations.
Do I need to hire a developer?
No. If you can copy and paste, you can implement it. The process is literally: copy the code, find the scripts field on your platform, paste it, and save. Not a single line of code needs to be modified.
