Want to instill customer confidence, save time answering questions & reduce returns? Try Magic 360!
This 360 product viewer app provides customers with the ultimate shopping experience. Thanks to its 360 degree spin, customers view products from every angle. The magnify option shows the smallest of details & the full-screen spin looks gorgeous (especially on handheld devices).
The 360 rotation is created using a set of images. Each image moves ever so slightly which when combined on the product page creates the 360 spin effect.
Magic 360 is a Shopify app like no other. For a one-off payment (no monthly costs), the 360 viewer offers you flexibility for your product pages. Display the 360 spin on its own; or combine the 360 viewer with static images. It's your choice.
Tip: 360 photography studios generally provide 36 high resolution JPEG images of each product. Images are taken at a 10 degree interval for the spin to feel smooth when viewed. (Looking for a professional photographer? Ask us to get a quotation for you.)

Shopify 360 spin benefits
Starting a new business is exciting but once the initial butterfly feeling has faded, things can feel overwhelming. The list of actions you need to complete to begin your start-up business is long and laborious and mistakes are often made.
One common mistake Startup Businesses make is thinking about creating a website as an after thought, rather than a priority. Are you going to make that mistake?
Having an online presence is crucial to your success, and that's where Shopify comes in. An easy to use eCommerce platform which takes you through creating your new store step-by-step. With excellent merchant support, you'll have your store up and running in no time. But is having an eCommerce store enough? Online retailers say no, having a store alone doesn't guarantee longevity.
Product images need to stand out
Your product images need to POP and engage your customers, but what are the best product images to use?
Successful international retailers say 360 product images are the best product images to use. If you're a startup business owner you've probably not heard of the term "360 product images" before, but more than likely you will have seen them online.
Instead of displaying 1 static image, you use a set of static images of the product which move ever so slightly from 1 image to the next. When the set of images are merged together with a 360 Viewer, your product looks like it is turning in 360 degrees. Customers love this effect because they can view your items from every angle, which gives them the opportunity to see exactly what they're buying.
How to create 360 product images
360 product images can be created in-house by yourself or you can hire a 360 photography studio to create the images for you. If you're looking for a 360 photography studio, get in touch and we'll connect you to a 360 photography studio near you.
To photograph your products yourself in 360 degrees, you will need a camera and a turnable (preferably automated). We recommend you use a motorized photography turntable for simplicity. The automated turntable marks each point where the next frame (image) is taken, and keeps the same number of degrees between each frame. It's popular to shoot 36 images (JPEG) with 10 degrees between each frame, giving your 360 spin a gorgeous smooth rotation.
If your turntable doesn't come with its own lightbox, use a white background behind your product and flood the item from both sides with soft bright lighting. This is a simple technique which creates high quality looking photos.
Once you have created your 360 product images, upload them to your Shopify product. There are several 360 degree viewers on the Shopify app store to choose from and each app works differently.
Upload your set of 360 spin images to your Shopify product (as you normally would);
Use the Magic 360 app image uploader. This option adds a spinimages=X Tag to your product. The X specifies the number of images in that spin which means each product can use a spin created by a different number of images.
To display 1 spin on every product page of your Shopify store, Magic 360 is the perfect solution.
If however, it's important to display a different 360 spin for each product variant, please use our 360 hosted service Sirv instead. Sirv allows you to display a 360 degree spin for every variant on your product page. For example, when a customer selects a different colour, the 360 spin will update to show a new spin in the new colour.
How the product gallery looks
The main image area displays with the thumbnails below. The 360 icon displays alongside your static image thumbnails in the product gallery so customers can switch between both the 360 spin and the static images.
Choose a design which suits your website. There are 12 spin icon designs to choose from on the Magic 360 settings page, simply select the one you like best. You can also choose whether to display the static images first in your gallery or your 360 spin, again this is a setting which you simply select on the Settings page.
Start as you mean to go on
It takes time and care to create 360 product images, but once you've created a workflow it'll take less time for every product you photograph. Here's a helpful checklist to get you started of how you want your 360 spins to look each time you photograph a product.
Uninstallation
Thanks for trying Magic 360 on your Shopify site! What did you hope Magic 360 could do? How can we improve it? Let us know, we're always improving our tools based on customer feedback.
Go to: Dashboard > Apps > Apps and sales channel settings.
A 360 product viewer takes a set of 360 degree images and merges them together on a web page. This creates an interactive spin which visitors can move left and right to see every angle of the item. (If your 360 photography was also taken on Rows, your 360 spin will move up and down too.)
To use the Shopify Magic 360 app you will need a set of 360 degree images. This is a set of images which move ever so slightly from image to image. (When the images are merged together the 360 degree effect is created).
Once you have your set of 360 degree images, follow the installation steps to install the Shopify Magic 360 app on your store.
No problem! If you have a spin which was created using a different number of images than the default number which appears in the 'Number of images on X-Axis' option on the Magic 360 app settings page, simply add a tag of spinimages=N to the product (where N is the number of spin images).
Very quick responding! And even quicker fixing the image issues on our product page. Excellent service!!

When you photograph your spins, Magic 360 supports spins in 360 spin (one row), 3D spin (multiple rows) or with the Martini effect (one horizontal row, one vertical column) like the blue running shoe above.
