Would your customers buy faster if they could see your product in 3D before ordering?
Photos only tell part of the story. ScanAR is a Salla app that scans a real product with an iPhone or iPad and turns it into a 3D and augmented reality model, then publishes it straight to your store. Shoppers can spin the item, view it from every side, and place it in their own space before they decide — and you don't need any 3D software or technical background to do it. In this guide, you'll learn how to install ScanAR, activate it on your device, capture your first product, and remove the app if you no longer need it.
