Basically, a conglomerate website where you can shop everything that’s available on the shop style catalog, but it’s, not where you go to create your affiliate links.
So it’s. Fine to have a shop style account, but this is not where you need to go to create your account for affiliate links, so SHOP style, collective calm, so we’re just going to go here. We’re gonna log in, and this is what your dashboard is going to look like.
So I’m gonna go into detail on the product widget. The text links all of that in different videos, so just disregard those for now, but I promise I’ll come back to them. This is just going to be a general overview on all of the tools that shopstyle offers and how to get your first affiliate link to share through your Facebook page or through your Instagram swipe ups, so over here.
This is where you can click on news, and they have a actually of a really great blog where they share a lot of things. They share lots of tutorials how to set up an Instagram shop. They show you how to get visual.

They share a weekly blog post, full of sales that you can blog about, so that you can take advantage of sales for your for your affiliate links so make sure to check out the blog and also subscribe to their newsletter because they send it all out.
In a newsletter and it’s actually really helpful, and I really really recommend that the next function over here is the search function where you can search everything that is listed in the shop style catalog every almost every product that is covered with a Shop style, affiliate link is listed in the catalog, so I’ll.
Show you how to search use the search function later on in a different video. This is the widgets area. This is where you would set up a product. Widget with you can do several different products in it and it will create one widget and give you the code for that widget.
So you can put the widget inside your blog post. I’ll, be happy to show you an example. This is my blog and I had a blog post go up recently with some outfits in it. So what you see here is a widget, so it ‘
S got all of the products that I’m wearing in the blog post linked in this particular widget. So you can also see it. I’m trying to scroll slowly, so it doesn’t make you dizzy. You can also see it at the bottom of the blog post, so this is what a widget basically looks like, and I’ll, go into more detail about how to create these widgets and how to use them in a different video.
The next thing we’re, going to talk about right, quick, is looks and so looks are. When you upload a photo, you have on an outfit, you upload a photo of that outfit and you want to tag the products that are in that outfit.
You would use the looks portion of SHOP style to do that and then collections are groups of looks that are put together. So you would create a collection, for instance, shop, my Instagram, and then you would create a look and put that look into that collection.
Again, more detail coming on that later, in this blog post lists are the best way. If you ask me to keep your products organized, so I recommend having lists of different real tip retailers and things you like from things you like friend, that retailer this is where I really use SHOP style to organize my products, so it makes it much easier to Find things we’ll need to go back later and find a link for something, and we will show you how to add something to a list here shortly and then there’s.
Other ways to add things to a list to which we’ll, go into more detail on later analytics is where you’re, going to go to see what your conversion rates are, how much money that you’re earning? How many clicks you’re? Getting how many orders you’re? Getting it’s, going to show you and it ‘
Ll. Give you some trended data here. You’ll have a little graph! That comes up once you start selling things and then down here it will tell you that you’ll, get reports on the tools that are working best for you.
So if you’re selling a lot through widgets and you can see that you’re selling through widgets. Creating more widgets would be good for you. If you’re selling a lot through your shop style shop, which we’ll talk about later through collections, that sort of thing text links.
These would be like what you share on swipe up or what you share on Instagram stories. Our Facebook and then it’s, going to give you some traffic sources also, and it will also give you some merchandising insight.
So the brands that sell best the retailers, the products and the categories that are selling best through your links so that it can help you see what your community and your readers are looking for.
