How to publish a digital showroom for wholesale buyers

To publish a digital showroom, build a catalog, lookbook, or line sheet in Alovia's Catalog Builder, then publish it as a flipbook on a 1-week, 15-day, or 1-month plan. Buyers open the link, browse without an account, and submit an order — no payment is taken — while you track views and orders from your dashboard.

What you'll need

  • A finished catalog, lookbook, or line sheet built in the Catalog Builder
  • Enough credits for the publish plan (50 for 1 week, 80 for 15 days, or 120 for 1 month)

Steps

  1. Finish the source catalog

    Build the catalog, lookbook, or line sheet you want to publish in the Catalog Builder — any of the three formats can be published as a showroom without redesigning it.

  2. Choose a publish plan

    Pick how long the showroom stays live: 1 Week (50 credits), 15 Days (80 credits), or 1 Month (120 credits). Publishing deducts the credits and sets an expiration date from the plan you chose.

  3. Publish and get a shareable link

    Alovia generates a unique flipbook URL for the showroom. Send it by email, WhatsApp, or on your site — buyers open it directly, no account or download required.

  4. Buyers browse and submit an order

    Buyers add styles to a cart and submit an order with their name, business, email, phone, and notes. It's an order submission, not a checkout — no payment is taken — and the minimum order quantity is checked automatically before the order goes through.

  5. Track views and manage orders

    Every published showroom tracks total views since it went live plus a daily view chart for the last 30 days; submitted orders land in your dashboard with their full line items.

Our wholesale process was constantly delayed by static PDF linesheets that took days for our team to format. If a color variant or MOQ changed, it meant another bottleneck before we could pitch to international buyers. Alovia completely modernized our B2B sales. Using the studio, we now generate dynamic, up-to-date linesheets and high-quality campaign presentations in seconds. Our distributors get a professional, instantly adaptable catalog without waiting for traditional physical shoots, and it has noticeably shortened our wholesale order cycles.

The biggest bottleneck in visual merchandising is waiting for physical samples just to start building our seasonal stories. With Alovia, we've completely bypassed that waiting period. Long before production finishes, I can virtually test outfit combinations and build our entire campaign aesthetic. The platform gives me complete control—I can design custom lookbook templates exactly how I envision them and instantly publish them as interactive flipbooks and e-catalogs. Now, our marketing team has polished, ready-to-use content months in advance, keeping us perfectly ahead of schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Does publishing a digital showroom cost credits?

Yes. Publishing deducts credits based on the plan: 50 credits for 1 week, 80 credits for 15 days, or 120 credits for 1 month. The showroom expires at the end of the window and can be republished.

Do buyers pay through the digital showroom?

No. Buyers submit an order request — name, business, email, phone, and notes, with line items and quantities — but no payment is taken on the page. It's an order submission the seller confirms afterward, not a checkout.

Can I see how many buyers viewed my showroom?

Yes. Every published showroom tracks total views since publishing and a daily view chart covering the last 30 days, both visible from your dashboard alongside submitted orders.
