Shop together now available.

Posted 10 years ago · Author

IMVU has made it possible for you to invite a friend to shop with you so you can both try on items together. Sadly, it's a VIP only feature. However, VIP users can invite non vip users to shop with them!

Tell us how you feel about this feature and leave your opinion in the poll above.

Who can invite someone to Shop Together?

1) Anyone who is a member of our VIP club can invite anyone (VIP or non-VIP, friend or not) to Shop Together with them.
**Please note that to invite someone who is not on your friend's list, you need to use the avatar card or avatar menu option.
2) Anyone who has been a valuable part of our community for a while and had purchased the blue Try-it Pass in the past (it was discontinued in 2009)
3) Anyone who has helped us test the feature while it was in development and has been giving us very useful feedback as part of the beta testing group.

Who can be invited so Shop Together?

Anyone irrespective of their VIP status, them being your friend or not.
Please note: Both of you MUST be on 3D Chat client version 501.0 or up!

What can you do?

--You can be with someone in the Shop, suggest and try on items so both of you can see and chat about them.
--You can buy or gift those items
--You can gift any item to your shopping partner or anyone else - just like you do with any gifting
--You can only have one other person in the Shop Together session.
--You can only use this new feature for dress up items (excluding outfits and bundled items for now)
--You may not use the feature for rooms, furniture and poses(actions) in the first phase of this project. At this time, we do not know if and when those categories of products will be available for shopping together.

Many ways to invite someone to Shop Together

--Go to the Shop and click on the "Invite someone to Shop Together" button.
** For now, this only allows you to invite someone on your friend's list.

My sister and I have always wanted the option to shop together, for years...they finally do it, and it's a bastardized version of what we had imagined.

A minimum of two people at a time.
The ability to try out group poses, gone.
The ability to try out furniture, gone.
The ability to try out rooms, gone.
The ability to look at your own wishlist, gone.
An annoying announcement box WITHIN the chatbox that takes up even more space than having two people within a window.

Needless to say, it's a addition that goes rarely used. and this is coming from those who love to shop. Way to go IMVU.

Agree with Fate. Severely falls short of expectations.

I've only used it twice for clothing...can you really not try out poses, rooms or furniture?? I can see why they did that but still..that really sucks. I agree with that the decision to place the item in the chatbox was poor but I can't think of where else they'd put it. Anywhere else and it would have to fade out after a few seconds otherwise it would clutter up the screen. Unless they provided a close button it.

That's true, but I do not even think it's necessary to be honest. It's convenient for doubling back to try on something from 40 minutes ago, but the funny thing is now that I've grown used to it, it fails me. I'll suggest something and it will show up in my box but the person I suggested it to will not see it. So I'll have to spam suggestions to get them to finally see. Either that or just try it on myself because when I try something on it automatically shows up. The suggestion code needs fixing.

Other than that, they have since fixed a lot of my previous gripes. You can now try out rooms, furniture and poses with up to 3 people, I suppose 4 would be a chat room so I can understand the decision for 3. Inviting someone else to the shop with you after you've loaded a room will wipe that room and take you back to the default gray screen so be careful. Don't put a room together in shop together then invite someone to see it, they will only see your disappointment.

and I still can not look at my wishlist though I can add to it.

It has it ups and down on it i noticed
but the idea that if one person has VIP only that one person can view rooms furniture and poses while other can't tell the person that has vip pics it should work the same on both

No mobile does not have it mobile currently does not have shop together it does not have rooms purchased however as stated on another post you can put them on your wish list and then check them out mobile. Mobile doesn't have the ability to purchase all upgrades yet you can only purchase the IP. You cannot edit room still. You can play it audio and live only I think they should fix that if you pay for VIP you should be able to use it in private.
