What is Lyst?

What is Lyst
Lyst is the world's largest search platform for fashion products. Since 2010, it has been helping fashion enthusiasts all across the globe discover stylish items from world-class designers and iconic labels.

On Lyst, shoppers will find luxury pieces from over 27,000 stores and brands. Some of the most popular premium names featured here include Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent, Prada, Versace, Balenciaga, Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Nike, and Valentino.

Lyst was founded in London and now operates globally, with about a dozen regional websites. In 2025, the company announced that it would be fully acquired by the leading Japanese fashion e-commerce giant ZOZO, Inc.

How does Lyst work?

How Lyst works
Shoppers look for the desired pieces in Lyst's categorized catalog. They can also browse collections from a specific store or a particular brand to narrow down their search.

Each product has its own page that features the item's details and all the deals retailers have for it. When viewers decide to buy this product, they simply click on the deal they like the most and order the product in the retailer's store. If a merchant supports Lyst checkout, then customers can instead finish the purchase directly on the platform.

Those who sell on Lyst pay a commission for each successful sale the platform brings. The commission is calculated as a percentage of the order value, and the size of that percentage is negotiated with Lyst individually.

Lyst's commission also affects where your listings will appear across the site. In general, the higher the rate you agree to, the better rankings your offers will have and the more often they will show up in searches.

Create a Shopify Lyst product feed

The only option to get products on Lyst is via a product feed. You'll need a feed very early during the onboarding process, so it's best to make it now and come prepared.

Hand-sewing a product feed is so out of style, and it's no wonder why. Manually drafting the feed's structure according to Lyst's strict guidelines might take forever, while filling the file with your product data one by one can lead to imperfections slipping in.

But you know what's the latest trend? Using cutting-edge product feed software such as Mulwi. You leave the hard work to our prebuilt Lyst Shopify feed template and in return receive a flawless product feed with minimal effort. Of course, you can also freely customize this template to infuse your brand's exceptional personality into it.

Why don't you give it a try? Installing our app from the Shopify app store and creating a Lyst feed in Mulwi takes in total just a few minutes.

Send a request to join Lyst

You can sell products on Lyst only after becoming the platform's partner. To do that, simply send a connection request through their partner application form. Someone from Lyst's team will then call you to help complete the registration.

During that meeting, tell your Lyst manager that you already have a product feed and share it with them. We also recommend asking if the site's tech experts can connect your feed via a URL. Because if Lyst can fetch your feed over a link from Mulwi, you won't have to update your listings yourself: Mulwi will handle this for you automatically.

Once you've agreed on everything and signed the partnership contract, Lyst will add your store to their partner portal.

Set up your Lyst partner account

Voilà! Your first sale on Lyst is just one small step away. Soon, you'll receive an email with your partner portal login details. Use these to sign in to your seller account and give your Lyst page a final polish. Add your brand logo, write your business description, check that your listings have loaded correctly — take all the time you need to make your store's grand opening perfect.

When you're ready to hit Lyst's runway, pass your profile over to the platform's team for review. If everything's in place, you will start selling products on Lyst within a few days.

What is Shopify feed for Lyst and how to create one?

To create a Lyst feed using Mulwi's template, for example, you just need to match several of Lyst's required attributes to your Shopify store's info. And then, by changing the exported language and Shopify market prices, you will quickly get an ideal Lyst product feed for any regions you're targeting.

Best practices for selling on Lyst

Best practices for Lyst
We know for sure that your goal is to sell successfully on Lyst, and with these simple tricks, you'll quickly rise to the top of the bestseller charts:
  • Check out The Lyst Index. Every quarter, Lyst shares its insights about the world's hottest fashion trends on its website. Look into this report to catch up on the latest tendencies and see what your competitors are up to.
  • Give each item 4–8 images. Shoppers engage better with offers that have more than only one image. Take a couple of photos of solely your product against a plain background and several of it being worn by a model.
  • Add size info in the feed. According to Lyst, the size and size_system attributes alone can increase conversions by 6.3%. Specifying this data will help your products appear in filtered searches and reach more people.
  • Write product descriptions wisely. You absolutely must include the piece's color and materials here because these, just like the size, will greatly improve the visibility of your deals in filtered results and search queries.
  • Make your website mobile-friendly. Nowadays, users expect online stores to deliver the same flawless experience on all types of devices, at all times. This is especially true for Lyst's premium customer base.
