Add Polyvore to Your Website
How can I use Polyvore to enhance my own website?
Polyvore offers a variety of tools and technologies to help make your website more engaging and interactive:
Embed Polyvore sets on your website or blog (free)
Polyvore sets help visually merchandise your products by illustrating the versatility and wearability of your products. You can also use them to provide style advice to your customers on your blog or community pages, like this example on the Avelle blog.
Put "Add to Polyvore" buttons on your product pages (free)
The "Add to Polyvore" button allows people to directly import your products to Polyvore with a single click. It encourages your customers to add your products to Polyvore, which boosts their popularity and increases the chance of them being used in sets. See the example buttons on 1928.com.
Add the Polyvore Dressing Room to your website
The Polyvore Dressing Room is a widget that lets your customers mix & match your products, just like in the Polyvore editor. The Dressing Room provides customers with a fun, interactive way to visualize your products side-by-side, helping them make better purchasing decisions. It also encourages customers to buy multiple items instead of just one item. People spend an average of 5 minutes in the Polyvore Dressing Room widget. For examples of the dressing room on other retailers' websites, see Charlotte Russe's Design Your Outfit tool, or Republic.co.uk's Fitting Room, or Pottery Barn Teen's Styleboard tool.
