This will take you to the initial configuration page, where you’ll complete two simple steps to activate GlamAR.

Connect Your Store Securely​

To enable AR functionality, your Shopify store must securely connect to the GlamAR backend through PixelBin.

What This Step Does

This authentication process ensures that:

  • Your store is authorized to use GlamAR services
  • AR assets can be loaded securely
  • AI processing and try-on rendering function correctly

Enter Access Credentials​

On the setup page:

  1. Click Get API Token.
    • This will redirect you to the PixelBin Console.
  2. In PixelBin:
    • Navigate to Settings → Tokens.
    • Locate your Access Key and API Token.
    • If you don’t have one yet, create a new token.
    • Copy both values.
  3. Return to Shopify and:
    • Paste the Access Key
    • Paste the API Token
    • Click Submit

Once submitted successfully, your Shopify store is securely connected to GlamAR.

How It Works​

  • The Access Key establishes the connection between your Shopify store and GlamAR’s platform.
  • The API Token authorizes access to GlamAR’s AI services.
  • Both credentials must remain valid for the plugin to function properly.
Security Note:

Treat your Access Key and API Token like passwords. Never share them publicly.

Select Your Plan​

After successfully connecting your store, the next step is choosing a subscription plan. You will see available plan options. For initial setup and testing, select the Free Plan to proceed.

What Happens Next

After selecting your desired plan:

  1. Click Approve.
  2. Confirm the subscription.
  3. Shopify will activate the selected plan.

Once approved, your GlamAR Eyewear Virtual Try-On plugin is fully activated.
