How to Set Up and Publish Choose Model (AI Shopper)

Written by Mikaela Lasig

Choose Model lets shoppers switch between pre-selected models so they can see the same product on different body types or sizes without uploading their own photo. This helps merchants reduce hesitation, show fit more clearly, and make product pages feel more interactive. Merchants can configure Choose Model before going live, but publishing it to a live storefront requires a paid Shopper plan. On Shopify, it also needs to be placed on the product page template.

Best Practices

  • Start with a clean default lineup that represents the size or body-type range you want shoppers to compare.

  • Test the experience on a few high-traffic products before rolling it out across the catalog.

  • Use product-specific overrides when one default lineup does not work well for every product.

  • Review the generated previews before publishing so the first live impression is strong.
