Lyst Launches Fashion's First Ever Universal Shopping Cart

LONDON and NEW YORK, July 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Personalized fashion marketplace Lyst (www.lyst.com) announced today the launch of its universal shopping cart. The first-of-its-kind technology allows customers to seamlessly purchase multiple products from different retailers in a single transaction on Lyst.

The addition of a universal shopping cart is expected to accelerate sales even further.

In the coming weeks, Lyst plans to add Rebecca Minkoff, French Connection, Cynthia Rowley, Lulu Frost, Need Supply Co., Erin Fetherston, Singer22, Ledbury and more.

"Since the launch of integrated checkout in early June we have seen a significant increase in sales through Lyst," said Michael Mente, co-owner of REVOLVEclothing and Forward by Elyse Walker. "Given the tremendous success of the partnership to date, we look forward to seeing the growth universal cart will drive for us."
