Create a Lookbook

Overview

This section explains the steps to create a new lookbook.

Purpose

By creating a lookbook, you can centrally manage the visuals of your brand and products, and use them to transmit information and appeal to buyers.

The created lookbook can be used in multiple application destinations such as catalogs and order links, and can be used as a foundation for information utilization that contributes to sales.

By managing the lookbook as a master, you can manage and unify information on a brand-by-brand basis.
