11Frequently asked questionsQuick answers to the most common setup and storefront questions.
Can guests use Virtual Try-On?
Yes. Store administrators can allow or prevent guest access in the SeaTryon settings, so you can decide whether Virtual Try-On is available only to signed-in customers or to every visitor.
Can customers see the provider API key?
No. SeaTryon does not display the AI provider API key on the storefront. The credential remains in the WordPress settings and is used by the server when it sends an authorized generation request.
Which AI providers are supported?
SeaTryon currently supports TheMiniTech, where a typical generation costs only a few cents. An OpenAI API integration is also in testing and should be treated as experimental until testing is complete.
Are images saved to the WordPress Media Library?
No. Customer-uploaded photos and generated try-on previews are not added to the WordPress Media Library, so they will not appear alongside your store's product and content images.
Why do results vary between products?
AI image generation still has accuracy limits. Product shape, scale, source-image quality, lighting, viewing angle, and scene complexity can all affect the preview, so some results may differ from the real product. Treat each result as a visual preview rather than a guarantee of fit, size, color, or appearance.
Can a product use a dedicated try-on image?
Yes. For simple products, you can select a dedicated Try-On Product Image. A worn or in-context photo is usually preferable to an isolated white-background image because it gives the AI a clearer reference for product position and scale.
How are variable products configured?
Assign the correct image to every WooCommerce variation, such as each color option. When a shopper selects a variation on the product page, SeaTryon automatically uses that variation's image for the try-on preview.
How are daily generations counted?
Administrators can configure separate daily generation allowances for signed-in customers and guests. Each visitor uses the allowance for their access type, helping you control AI usage and provider costs.
