You will first need to have an account with ShopStyle Collective, RewardStyle, or a similar Style site. After your account is activated you can create a product widget within your Style account (see Support from your Style site on how to do this). Once the widget is created… the Style site will give you an HTML/Javascript code. Copy that code. *The demo site is using ShopStyle Collective.

Next, login to your WordPress dashboard and click on “Appearance” >> “Widgets”. Click on “Custom HTML” then choose “Shop My Style” from the dropdown. Paste the code you copied from your Style Account. Click “Save” then view your site.
