Add a true-to-scale rug visualizer to your Shopify store using the product photos you already have. We build a 3D model of every rug for free, so there is no 3D work on your side. Plans start from US$348 a month, and you can try it free first.

Quick Read

Imersian is a rug visualizer for Shopify stores. You install the Imersian app from the Shopify App Store, tag the rugs you want shown, and they sync to the Imersian Portal. Imersian builds a 3D model of every rug from your existing product photos and dimensions, free of charge, so there is no 3D work on your side. Our team onboards your catalogue with you, then you switch on the View in room button in the Shopify Theme Editor with no theme code. Shoppers upload one photo of their room and place your rugs at true scale, under their furniture. The Room Visualizer starts from US$348 a month (A$490, €300), on a 12-month term, billed monthly, and includes 500 active SKUs to start (it scales with your catalogue) and 1,000 room uploads a month. Retailers go live within 2 weeks. New accounts start with free credits and a demo of up to 10 of your products.

What a rug visualizer does on your Shopify store

A shopper taps View in room on your rug's product page, uploads one photo of their room, or takes one on their phone, and sees your rug on their own floor at its real size. The rug sits under the sofa and the coffee table with matching perspective and shadows, so it looks the way it will at home. They can swap sizes and colorways in the same photo, clear their old rug first with Magic Eraser, and, where you turn it on, tap Render for an HD photorealistic image of the finished room. It runs in the browser on phone and desktop, with nothing to download.

  • One room upload, as many rugs as the shopper wants to try in it
  • True scale from the room's measured geometry, not a pasted image
  • Add to cart from inside the Visualizer

What a rug visualizer does on your Shopify store

What you need: your rug photos, their sizes and a Shopify store

There is no 3D work on your side. Every rug shown in the Visualizer gets a 3D model, and we build it from the product photos you already have, free of charge. You supply the photos and sizes; Imersian does the rest. If your rugs only have lifestyle or angled shots, Design Studio in the Imersian Portal can create clean top-down rug images from them first.

  • A Shopify store. An Online Store 2.0 theme lets you add the button with no code
  • A clear photo of each rug, ideally top-down on a plain background, one per colorway
  • The size of each rug, for example 160 x 230 cm or 5 x 8 ft in the variant title
  • No 3D work, no designer and no developer

Setup, step by step

Install the Imersian app

Install Imersian from the Shopify App Store and approve the permissions, or sign up on the portal and connect your store from the Integration page.

Tag your rugs and let them sync

Add the imersianvisualiserenabled tag to the rugs you want shown. Tagged products sync to the Imersian Portal once a day, or straight away with a manual sync.

Onboard with our team

We build a 3D model of each rug from your photos, check every size and run quality control with you. A one-off onboarding fee applies, and retailers go live within 2 weeks.

Turn on the View in room button

In the Shopify Theme Editor, enable the Imersian app embed and add the Imersian Visualizer block under Add to cart. No theme code.

Go live

Choose your button labels in the Portal, check your storefront from the Portal and publish. Retailers go live within 2 weeks.

Switch it on in the Theme Editor, then choose your buttons

Imersian installs as a Shopify theme app extension, so nothing in your theme code changes and uninstalling leaves your theme as it was. You decide which buttons shoppers see and what they say in the Imersian Portal, for example a See it in my room button beside Add to cart. The button shows only on products that are tagged and live in Imersian. The storefront script is about 65 KB and loads after your page has finished loading.

For catalogues of 100+ and 500+ rugs

A big rug range is mostly a data job, and we do it with you. Each size and colorway is a variant, so each one needs its size in the variant title and its own photo; the Visualizer then places every variant at its real dimensions. Onboarding and quality control carry a one-off onboarding fee, and for large ranges we agree an order with you, often best sellers first. New rugs you tag later are picked up by the daily sync.

  • The plan includes 500 active SKUs to start and scales with your catalogue
  • Every rug model is free, however many rugs you sell
  • Shoppers compare sizes and colorways in the same room photo
  • Room uploads are metered, not views: 15 rugs tried in one room is one upload

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add a rug visualizer to my Shopify store?

Install the Imersian app from the Shopify App Store, tag the rugs you want shown with imersianvisualiserenabled so they sync, onboard them with our team, then enable the Imersian app embed and the View in room block in the Shopify Theme Editor. There is no theme code to edit. Our install guide lists every step.

How much does a rug visualizer for Shopify cost?

Imersian's Room Visualizer starts from US$348 a month (A$490, €300), on a 12-month term, billed monthly. That includes 500 active SKUs to start (it scales with your catalogue), 1,000 room uploads a month, unlimited 3D and AR views, and free 3D models of your rugs. A one-off onboarding fee applies. Add-ons such as extra SKUs, HD Render or white-label are priced to your catalogue.

Do I need 3D models of my rugs?

You don't need to make any. Every rug shown in the Visualizer has a 3D model, and Imersian builds it for you from your existing product photos and sizes, free of charge. AI 3D models of furniture and home decor use credits.

Can I use the rug photos I already have?

Yes. A clear top-down photo of each rug on a plain background works best, one per colorway. If you only have lifestyle or angled shots, Design Studio in the Imersian Portal can create top-down images from them, using credits.

Does it work for a Shopify store with 100 or 500+ rugs?

Yes. Each size and colorway is a variant placed at its own dimensions. The plan includes 500 active SKUs to start and scales with your catalogue, and we work through a large range with you, often best sellers first. A one-off onboarding fee applies.

How long does setup take?

Retailers go live within 2 weeks. Our team builds the rug models and runs onboarding and QC with you (a one-off onboarding fee applies), so 3D is neither slow nor expensive on your side; the main thing we need from you is your rug photos and sizes.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. New accounts start with free credits to try AI 3D models of furniture and home decor, HD renders and Design Studio images, plus a demo of up to 10 of your own products in the Visualizer.

Is it a self-serve app or done with you?

Done with you. You install the Shopify app yourself, and our team helps every merchant with onboarding, quality control and the integration, so you are not left alone with a setup guide. Retailers go live within 2 weeks.

Will a rug visualizer slow down my Shopify store?

The cost is small. The storefront script is about 65 KB and loads after your page has finished loading, and the Visualizer itself loads only when a shopper taps the button. We measured about 60 to 70 ms of blocking time on a throttled mobile profile, after content paints.

Which Shopify rug retailers use Imersian?

Retailers including Capel Rugs, All Modern Rugs, Four Corners Rugs and The Rug Trader. Capel Rugs shoppers spend an average of 6.4 minutes in the Visualizer, and the app is rated 5.0 on the Shopify App Store.
