Sovrn Introduces Shopping Galleries to //Commerce Toolset

New commerce content creation tool offers publishers complete control to customize the shopping experience and increase affiliate revenue

Sovrn, a publisher technology platform that empowers content creators to remain independent and thrive on the Open Web, today announced the release of the Shopping Galleries tool to its growing //Commerce product suite, empowering commerce content creators to easily curate unique shopping experiences.

With //Commerce Shopping Galleries, editors can build a personalized carousel of products by theme or product type or showcase a range of products from one or more merchants, with full control of the products featured. Editors can deliver a better shopping experience to readers and enhance their site in minutes, not hours, with the ability to quickly select from products and merchants in one place, pick the ones with the lowest prices, and easily add them to their site. In addition, the customizable “Sponsored” header gives editors the freedom to highlight a featured merchant or editor’s pick while offering an opportunity to earn more from merchants desiring premium placement. Editorial recommendations like “Best Buys,” “Deals of the Day,” and “We Recommend” can be created with just a few clicks.
