Step-by-step installation

Follow the path below to install the script in your PrestaShop store: Register on the displayHeader hook or edit head.tpl.

Through a PrestaShop Module (Recommended)

Create a module in /modules/provei/

1

Create the PrestaShop module structure

Create the /modules/provei/ folder in your PrestaShop store with provei.php, config.xml, and logo.png.
2

Create the main provei.php file

Implement the Module class with install() and hookDisplayHeader() methods to inject the virtual try-on script into your PrestaShop theme head.
3

Configure config.xml

Add config.xml with the PrestaShop module information (name, version, author, and compatibility).

Through a PrestaShop Theme (Alternative)

themes/[seu_tema]/templates/_partials/head.tpl

1

Open the PrestaShop theme files

Using FTP or a file manager, open the active theme folder in your PrestaShop store.
2

Edit head.tpl

Open your theme’s templates/_partials/head.tpl file to add virtual try-on.
3

Insert the try-on script

Add the Provei.AI virtual try-on code before the closing head tag in the PrestaShop template.
4

Save and clear the cache

Save the theme changes and clear the cache under Parâmetros Avançados > Desempenho.

Important notes

PrestaShop has no native interface for adding scripts to the theme head.
Module installation is recommended because it survives theme updates.
In a multi-store setup, configure the module for each PrestaShop store individually.
Always clear the cache after changes: Parâmetros Avançados > Desempenho > Limpar cache.

Benefits for PrestaShop stores

Provei.AI improves the shopping experience without requiring changes to your current flow.

Complete PrestaShop customization

Use PrestaShop’s open-source code to fully customize PrestaShop virtual try-on around your brand identity.

94% higher conversion

PrestaShop stores with virtual try-on convert 94% more visitors into buyers than stores without this technology.

40% fewer returns

Customers in your PrestaShop store who use virtual try-on return 40% fewer products after seeing them before purchase.

Full control through a module

Manage the try-on script through a dedicated PrestaShop module that you control and can disable at any time.

Native multi-store support

Works seamlessly with PrestaShop multi-store configurations, letting you configure virtual try-on for each store separately.

Independent of the theme

The module is separate from the theme, so settings are unaffected by design updates or template changes.

About the integration

PrestaShop is one of the world’s most popular open-source e-commerce platforms, giving you full control over your PrestaShop online store. Unlike closed platforms, PrestaShop enables deep customization, although implementing features such as virtual try-on requires a little more technical knowledge.

The best way to add Provei.AI virtual try-on to PrestaShop is to create a dedicated module that registers the displayHeader hook. This approach is better than direct theme editing for several reasons: it survives theme updates without losing settings, can be enabled or disabled as needed, works seamlessly in multi-store environments, and follows the platform’s development best practices.

If you do not have PrestaShop development experience, we strongly recommend hiring a specialized developer or partner agency. Although you can edit the theme directly to add virtual try-on, that approach is less reliable because updates may overwrite your changes.

Combining PrestaShop’s open-source power with Provei.AI virtual try-on creates a unique, fully customized shopping experience. Use the platform’s flexibility to position try-on where it makes the most sense for your product catalog and sales strategy.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about installation and how it works.

1 How do I install virtual try-on on PrestaShop?

You can install PrestaShop virtual try-on in two ways: create a custom module (recommended) that registers the displayHeader hook, or edit your theme’s head.tpl file directly. The module approach is better because it survives theme updates and can be enabled or disabled easily.

2 Do I need to know how to code to install PrestaShop virtual try-on?

Yes. Module installation requires basic PHP knowledge and familiarity with the PrestaShop module structure. If you do not have PrestaShop development experience, hire a specialized developer or use a ready-made module. Editing the theme is simpler but less recommended.

3 What is the best way to add virtual try-on to a PrestaShop store?

The PrestaShop module approach is definitely the best. Unlike direct theme editing, an independent module survives theme updates, can be disabled for troubleshooting, works correctly in multi-store setups, and follows PrestaShop development best practices.

4 Does virtual try-on work with every PrestaShop version?

Provei.AI virtual try-on is compatible with PrestaShop 1.7 and later, including PrestaShop 8.x. Older versions (1.6 and below) may require adapting the module code. Always check compatibility before installation.

5 Does it work in a multi-store PrestaShop setup?

Yes. The PrestaShop module can inject virtual try-on into every store in your multi-store setup or only selected stores. This gives you full control over each virtual-store configuration.

6 Do I need to clear the cache after installing PrestaShop virtual try-on?

Absolutely. PrestaShop has an aggressive cache system. Always clear the cache under Parâmetros Avançados > Desempenho > Limpar cache after installing or changing the virtual try-on module. Clearing your browser cache is also recommended when testing.

7 Where can I find the virtual try-on code for my PrestaShop store?

The virtual try-on JavaScript code is available in your Provei.AI dashboard with your unique USER_ID. Each PrestaShop store receives a specific code. Copy it into your module or theme by following our installation documentation.

8 Is PrestaShop virtual try-on really open source?

Yes. The PrestaShop integration is fully open source. You have access to the module code and can modify it as needed. PrestaShop itself is also open source, enabling deep customization of virtual try-on for your business.
