FAQ

Augmented Reality for Ecommerce FAQ

How does augmented reality work on an ecommerce product page?
The shopper opens the product page, explores the item in 3D, then taps to launch AR and place it in their own space using their device's camera.
Do shoppers need to download an app?
No. Zolak AR runs in supported mobile browsers, so shoppers launch it directly from your product page.
Which devices support Zolak AR?
Zolak AR works on supported iOS and Android devices and mobile browsers. On unsupported devices, shoppers can still explore the product in 3D.
How is an AR viewer different from an AR product configurator?
The 3D Viewer with AR is for fixed products - shoppers view and place the item as-is. The AR Product Configurator is for products with variants - shoppers choose a color, material, or finish first, then place that exact configuration in AR.
Can Zolak AR connect with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom store?
Zolak can integrate AR experiences with supported ecommerce platforms and custom storefronts. The setup depends on the platform, storefront architecture, product catalog, and selected Zolak experience.
How can augmented reality help ecommerce shoppers make a purchase decision?
AR helps shoppers evaluate products in context before they buy. By seeing a product in their own space, they can better understand its size, placement, appearance, and available options — reducing some of the uncertainty that comes with evaluating products online. Research has linked AR-supported product evaluation with greater purchase confidence and purchase intention, particularly when product uncertainty is higher.
