We’ve just released a beta update to IMVU Web that enhances your shopping experience, and we’re excited to share what’s new!


We’re taking the familiar Classic shopping experience and elevating it on IMVU Web, with the same improvements coming soon to IMVU Desktop. Now, everything you try on can be purchased instantly with a one-click buy button, streamlining the process for you.


After your purchase, you’ll be prompted with, “Do you want to save it as your current look?,” allowing you to seamlessly lock in your new style.


This update creates a seamless shopping experience, where you can easily access both the fitting room and your inventory to try outfits using a combination of your own items and new shop products, all at the same time.


This is just the first iteration of this exciting change, and as this is a beta release, we'd love your feedback as we continue to polish and refine the experience, both on IMVU Web and in the upcoming release for IMVU Desktop. Let us know how we can make it even better for you!


Update: The new shopping experience has now been released to both IMVU Web and IMVU Desktop!

   In the classic client and web shop, when you hover your cursor over the product icon pic there is a little symbol of a ' flag ( report item)" and " i (for more information) ".  Can that get implemented to the new shop as well? It would really help improve our shopping experience for both the customers and creators. Because there are some products that require more information about the product, for example how to use driving nodes, or there may be other important information that the creator needs to put in product description that would help the customers understand the product better. And also would benefit for mesh creators to share their maps/textures for other creators when they derive.

Lots of times I will be browsing the catalog and while shopping, I will see something that I like to derive from. Or there are times I just want to see how much the product size is. Also, to read the customer reviews. in the classic shop I can see the derivation chain. I like seeing the derivation chains because a lot of times I find the same product but cheaper to buy and/or to derive from.  I can see what other creators have derived from that PID also.


The problem using the new shop is that it is more difficult to find the information as I described above. Currently I have to get the product number, then input that PID in the classic web.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, IMVU?! LOL!! It's incredible but WOW this is going to take too much getting used to unless you're able to finish it soon. Veteran here of 17 LONG YEARS of wonderful experiences and my favorite thing is STILL decorating. If I can't decorate in shop, then why am I shopping at all? If I can't figure out how to decorate in Next then why am I here? The IMVU vets are holding your salaries in our hands here and we really want to hold them up. So PLEASE save classic and keep playing with this until it's perfected but DO NOT dismiss the literal "classic" 3D chat client we all know and love. We spend our money here and, with your competition, you know it's reliant. Thanks, Y'all! We really do understand you work hard for us!

I am not 100% on this new FEED format but the arrows that are supposed to move you from photo to photo stop at 7 (clicks) which is annoying if i was to scroll and click hearts ... the other was easier

Subject: Feedback on IMVU Experience


Dear IMVU Team,


While I appreciate the innovations with IMVU Next and beta, my heart truly belongs to the classic IMVU client. The shopping and creative content experiences on the classic version are unparalleled. As a creative individual, I struggle to visualize and imagine on Beta and Next, which diminishes the vibe for creativity and shopping. The classic IMVU client truly captures the essence of a 3D virtual world with its immersive graphics, whereas IMVU Beta shopping gives more of a 2D experience, lacking the depth I'm used to.


I believe it would be beneficial for IMVU to brainstorm and come up with ideas that create a win-win situation for everyone. The IMVU client is the "why" factor of the virtual world. I didn’t find the new upgrade to capture what I am looking for and expecting in a 3D virtual world.


Thank you for your attention to this matter, I hope my feedback is helpful.


Best Regards

Rose Darling

I really Love it made it so much easier to shop. thank you . I also want to share this if is ok :D I really dont like is that button that directly changes the profile look in inventory. many time my PC lagged or i accidently clicked and changed it and i didnt had my look that i always use saved and i ended up spend a long time to made a look again :D. if that button goes away every will be perfect. thanks again for all your hard work to make it easier for us to use the App.

As long as you continue to add the features and benefits we are used to, I won't leave. (I am class of 06, on a different account) I agree 1000% that the "next" thumbnails are generally a fail and couldn't suck more if they tried. Keep at it guys, you're going in the right direction!

Ok, first of all, thank you for finally doing this. It's such an important aspect of how people shop.  It's a good start.


Things to improve it:


  1. Need to make it easier to add items to wishlist.  Clicking open an item to see details and then adding is too many clicks.  Just add in a star like you have in the classic ideology.
  2. I agree with others who said we need private wish lists...just a place to bookmark items for later purchase or consideration.
  3. I also agree with the idea on being able to follow creators one really likes, like you can click to like/follow and then your shop front page will feature a section of these creators and what they are selling.
  4. Improvement to the thumbnail system would also be nice. I don't care if we abandon the classic ones, but I don't like it when the thumbnail in Next makes no sense to the item.
