Create one collection per look, add the pieces by hand, then link the looks from your menu and homepage. Shoppers then browse whole outfits instead of single products, which grows Engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group iw-pills is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time:<\/strong> about 3 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost:<\/strong> free<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Developer:<\/strong> not needed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shopper lands on a dress and wonders what to wear with it. Without an outfit to look at, she usually leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shoppable lookbook is a set of styled outfits where every piece is a product the shopper can open and buy. It grows Engagement, the stage that counts product views, pages per session and time on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide is about keeping shoppers exploring.

reason to open several products, not one, and to keep browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A look answers \u201cwhat would I wear this with?\u201d before the shopper asks, so each

lookbook look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph iw-lead\">A finished shoppable lookbook has several looks, each one easy to find from the menu and homepage, with every piece in the look linked to its product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy to find:<\/strong> a \u201cLooks\u201d menu link and a homepage section.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Many

Collections already link to product pages, so you need no app and no code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group iw-call iw-warn is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work on a duplicate theme for layout changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you change the homepage layout, duplicate your theme (<code>Online Store \u203a Themes<\/code>) and edit the copy. Before an agent creates collections, export a CSV backup (<code>Products \u203a Export<\/code>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I create the look collections?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list iw-steps\">\n<li><strong>Choose six looks<\/strong>For example Wedding Guest, Workwear, Weekend, Date Night, Holiday and Everyday. Each look is three to five pieces you already sell.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Create the collection<\/strong>Go to <code>Products \u203a Collections<\/code>, click <b>Add collection<\/b>, and enter a title such as \u201cWedding Guest Look\u201d and a two-sentence description in your brand\u2019s voice.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a featured image<\/strong>Upload your best on-model photo of the full outfit.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the pieces by hand<\/strong>In the Products source, choose the pieces yourself and use no conditions, so the look stays as you styled it. Older admins show this as Collection type: Manual.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Set the order<\/strong>Under <b>Collection items<\/b>, open <b>Default sort<\/b>, choose <b>Manually<\/b>, and drag the hero piece to the top.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Check availability<\/strong>Keep the Online Store sales channel on, or the collection cannot be linked from your menu.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeat for the other five looks<\/strong>Duplicate a finished collection, then swap the pieces and the image.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I add the looks to my menu and homepage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list iw-steps iw-restart\">\n<li><strong>Add a \u201cLooks\u201d menu item<\/strong>Go to <code>Content \u203a Menus<\/code>, open your main menu, click <b>Add menu item<\/b>, and name it \u201cLooks\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Nest the six looks under it<\/strong>Add each look collection and drag it below \u201cLooks\u201d.

The agent follows five steps, so nothing is created until you say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list iw-pattern\">\n<li><strong>Read<\/strong>The 40 newest products across your categories<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Propose<\/strong>A table of looks, nothing created<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Approve<\/strong>You edit the table and say apply<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Write<\/strong>One collection per approved look<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Verify<\/strong>Open each look on a phone<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use Sidekick in your Shopify admin, or connect your store to Claude or ChatGPT and approve access first.

Give each look three to five pieces, with pieces from at least two categories so shoppers browse more than one rack. Add more once shoppers use the first six, such as a holiday look before the season.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-179090000102\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do I need an app to build a shoppable lookbook?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. Collections, menus and the theme editor are built into Shopify and cover the whole job. An app only adds clickable hotspots on a lookbook photo. The optional stock-alert email uses Shopify Flow, which is free on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-179090000103\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How long until shoppers browse more?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Nobody can promise a date or a lift. Compare pages per session and visits to your look collections for the 30 days before and after launch, and judge the trend over several weeks. Smaller stores may need longer before a clear pattern appears.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-179090000104\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can AI do this for each shopper?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, with a personal AI stylist. A lookbook shows every shopper the same outfits, while a personal AI stylist builds an outfit for one shopper from your own catalogue. iWAND is one; iWAND is our product. Free to install; iWAND charges 5% only on the sales it makes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list iw-sources\">\n<li>Baymard Institute.
