History
ShopStyle was thought-up by San Francisco-based UK expat Andy Moss in 2006 while he was running local e-commerce website Cairo and noticed that shoes were among the most popular items searched for there. The technology behind ShopStyle was created by a group of engineers Moss had met while working at Ariba (now SAP Ariba), including Trey Matteson, Garrick Toubassi and Mike Lenz. The US website launched in February 2007 with a focus on aesthetics and user experience in an attempt to recreate a magazine-like experience digitally. It was variously described as an online equivalent of a shopping mall or a shoppable digital magazine. In September 2007 PopSugar Inc. (then Sugar Publishing) purchased ShopStyle for an undisclosed sum. After the acquisition, ShopStyle focused its efforts on broadening out the product count, retailer expansion and becoming a search engine for fashion By the end of 2015 ShopStyle’s global sites generated five million searches per week and listed 12 million products from 1,400 retailers. In 2017, ShopStyle was bought by Ebates, known now as Rakuten Rewards.
