Inventory Showcase

The Inventory Showcase is your boutique's digital window display—an interactive gallery that lets clients browse your collection from anywhere. Whether they're dreaming about their perfect dress or preparing for an appointment, the showcase makes it easy for them to explore what you offer, favorite their top picks, and get inspired before stepping into your store.

How Clients Use the Showcase

Clients visiting your Inventory Showcase are greeted with a beautiful, easy-to-navigate gallery. They can filter by category, designer, silhouette, item type, or custom tags—helping them quickly find styles that match their vision. Clicking an item opens a full product page with a larger image gallery, style details, and a rich description, so clients can get a true sense of each piece.

As they browse, clients can mark their favorites. These favorites are saved to their profile and are visible to your staff, making appointment prep a breeze. If a client is ready to take the next step, they can request an appointment right from the showcase. You control whether pricing appears—and when an in-stock item is priced below its made-to-order price, both are shown so clients can see the savings on off-the-rack pieces.

Enabling and Customizing the Showcase

Getting started is simple. Head to Settings > Inventory Showcase and enable the feature. You can tailor the showcase to fit your boutique's brand and workflow:

• Set a custom Showcase Name that appears in navigation, the client portal, and page titles
• Choose which categories, vendors, item types, and tags are visible
• Decide whether to show item names, designers, and attributes
• Decide whether to display stock details (sizes, colors) and pricing—with independent toggles for made-to-order (retail) and in-stock (sale) prices
• Rename the Made to Order and In Stock price labels to match your store's language
• Add a store-wide item disclaimer shown on every item's detail page
• Enable or disable multiple images per item
• Allow clients to sort by best sellers or new arrivals
• Control which filters are available for clients
• Add a search box so clients can find items by item or designer name
• Curate Collections that group the showcase into browsable sections (see below)

All of these options are available in your Inventory Showcase settings—with a live preview so you can see exactly how items will appear—so you can create a browsing experience that matches your boutique's style.

Collections

Collections let you curate the showcase into groups like "Wedding Gowns" or "Sample Sale." Each collection is a saved filter (customer category, item types, tags, vendors/designers, silhouettes) with its own title, description, and tile image—set them up on the Collections tab of your Inventory Showcase settings.

Once you have at least one collection, the showcase opens on a landing page of collection tiles, each showing its image and a live item count, plus a built-in All Items tile that keeps the rest of your inventory browsable. Clients click a tile to browse that collection.

For each collection you can also:

• Pin items so they appear first when clients browse the collection
• Reveal extra details (prices, colors, sizes) for the collection's items even when your global display settings hide them—useful for sample sales. These overrides only ever reveal more; they never hide details you already show.

Search by Item Name

To add a search box to the showcase, enable Enable Search by Item Name on the Filters & Visibility tab of your Inventory Showcase settings. Clients can then search by item name or designer name. Search only matches labels that are visible in the showcase—if you hide item labels, the search box is unavailable, and designer names only match while vendor labels are shown.

Browsing, Filtering, and Sharing

The showcase offers powerful filtering and sorting tools. Clients can mix and match filters—like category, designer, silhouette, or tags—to narrow down the collection. Any filters they apply are clearly displayed, and can be removed with a click. The URL updates automatically as filters are applied, making it easy to share a specific view with a client or feature a collection on your website or social media.

Favorites and Appointment Requests

Favoriting is at the heart of the Inventory Showcase. Clients can click the heart icon on any item to add it to their favorites. These selections are saved to their profile and appear in the appointment form, so your staff knows exactly what the client loves. When ready, clients can request an appointment directly from the showcase, making it easy to turn inspiration into action.

Viewing Favorites in the Customer Profile

All items a client favorites in the Inventory Showcase are automatically visible in their customer profile, thanks to the Favorite Items section. Here, your staff can see which items were selected by the client online ("Showcase Favorites") and which were added in-store ("In-Store Favorites"). This distinction helps your team prepare for appointments and personalize the experience—ensuring the right dresses are ready and the client's preferences are front and center.

You can also add or remove favorites directly from the profile, and even generate quotes for selected items. This seamless integration between the showcase and the customer profile makes it easy to keep everyone on the same page, from first browse to final fitting.

Managing Your Inventory

You have full control over what appears in the showcase. In your inventory system, you can:

• Add multiple images to each item (front, back, details, etc.)
• Write a detailed Showcase Description for each product
• Tag items for better organization and filtering
• Hide specific items by checking the Exclude from Showcase box

Multilingual Support

The Inventory Showcase supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, German, Czech, and Norwegian. The language your clients see is based on your Customer-Facing Language setting in General Settings.

Sharing the Showcase

Once your showcase is set up, you can share it in a variety of ways:

• Include it in the client portal - highly recommended for more consistent favoriting experience ✅
• Add a link or button to your website
• Share directly via email, text, or social media
• Feature specific filtered views for promotions or events

Client Portal Integration

If you use the Client Portal, the Inventory Showcase is automatically available to clients there. This seamless integration means clients can browse, favorite, and prepare for their appointment all in one place. You can turn this integration on or off in the Client Portal Settings.

Best Practices

• Use high-quality, multiple images to showcase each item's details
• Write clear, inviting descriptions to help clients fall in love with your collection
• Organize with meaningful tags and keep your inventory up to date
• Test the showcase on different devices to ensure a great experience everywhere

FAQs

Why aren't some of my items showing up?

Check that the vendor is enabled, the item isn't excluded or discontinued, and that it has at least one image uploaded. Additionally, the showcase only displays items where you have at least one variant of that item in stock.

Can I show discontinued items that still have inventory?

Yes. In your Inventory Showcase settings, enable Include Discontinued Items to allow discontinued items with remaining stock to appear in the showcase. This is useful if you still have discontinued items available for purchase and want customers to be able to browse them.

Can clients keep browsing after booking?

Yes! Clients can continue to view the showcase and add favorites even after booking an appointment. Their selections will be visible to you when they visit.
