Short answer: AI virtual try-on lets a customer see a product on themselves before buying. For a physical shop in India, the most practical kind today is an in-store AI photo try-on that runs on a screen you already have. TejOrder AI Virtual Studio is built for exactly this — AI Virtual Try-On for garment shops is live, and Jewellery, Salon and Makeup Preview are coming soon.
What is AI virtual try-on?
Virtual try-on is software that shows how a garment, piece of jewellery, hairstyle or makeup look would appear on a real person — without physically trying it. Modern versions use generative AI: they take one photo of the customer and one photo of the product, and create a new photo of the customer wearing it.
The four types of virtual try-on
- Online try-on on a website or app Built into an e-commerce store. Shoppers upload a photo or use their phone camera at home. Useful for online sellers, not for a customer standing at your counter.
- Live AR filters Real-time camera effects that track the face — common for lipstick, earrings and glasses. They move with the person, but are usually limited to small items on the face; full garments look less real.
- Smart mirrors A special mirror-screen with a built-in camera, installed in the store. It looks impressive, but needs dedicated hardware and installation, so the upfront cost is much higher.
- In-store AI photo try-on Software that runs in a web browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or TV you already have. The customer picks a product, a photo is taken, and AI makes a realistic picture of them wearing it. This is how TejOrder AI Virtual Studio works.

What to check before you choose
- Does it work for a customer standing in your shop, or only online?
- Do you need to buy new hardware, or can you use the phone, tablet or TV you have?
- Does it handle Indian wear — saree, lehenga, kurta, sherwani — not just western tops?
- What does one try cost, and is a failed try charged?
- Can you use your own product photos (a catalog), or only what the customer holds?
- How long are customer photos kept, and who can see them?
- Can the result be shared on WhatsApp with your shop name?
- Is there voice or on-screen help in Hindi or your customers' language?
How TejOrder AI Virtual Studio does it

- Voice guidance in Hindi or English and a 10-second countdown; the photo is taken automatically.

For jewellery shops, salons and beauty parlours
The same idea works beyond garments: a customer can see a necklace on their own photo, a new haircut before the cut, or a bridal makeup look before booking. In TejOrder AI Virtual Studio these are coming soon. Shops can join early access on WhatsApp from each feature page.
- Jewellery Preview — for jewellery shops
- Salon Preview — hairstyle and haircut preview
- Makeup Preview — for beauty parlours and bridal studios
Honest limits of AI try-on
- It is a preview of the look, not a fitting. It does not measure size.
- Fine embroidery, borders and exact colours can look slightly different.
- Results depend on good light and a clear product photo.
- It needs internet, and the AI result takes a little time to make.
Common questions
What is the best AI virtual try-on for a garment shop in India?
Pick one that works at your counter on the screen you already have, handles Indian wear, has a fair per-try price and deletes customer photos. TejOrder AI Virtual Try-On is made for Indian garment shops, saree showrooms and boutiques and meets these points.
Do I need a smart mirror for virtual try-on?
No. In-store AI photo try-on like TejOrder runs on any phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV with a camera.
How much does AI virtual try-on cost for a shop?
It depends on the type. Smart mirrors need hardware. Software try-on is usually paid per try or per year. TejOrder plans are yearly per counter screen, from about ₹1 to ₹3 per try-on, with 100 free demo try-ons on each new machine.
Is there AI try-on for jewellery, hairstyles or makeup?
Yes, these exist, often as live AR filters. In TejOrder AI Virtual Studio, Jewellery, Salon and Makeup Preview are coming soon; shops can join early access.
