Snap have partnered with Amazon Fashion to enhance the AR shopping experience for snapchatters who will have access to a new try-on Lenses feature.
The new partnership aims to help Amazon brands leverage their Amazon AR assets and showcase styles in a fun, interactive experience to millions of Snapchatters.

Eyewear is the first VTO Shopping Lens category for the Amazon and Snap partnership, and the companies plan to enhance the AR shopping experience further by adding additional verticals in the future.
