Shopdo

Style Boutique 3 has an exciting new feature that allows players to upload their boutique and outfits onto the internet for other to visit. This feature is called Shopdo and allows other players with the same game to virtually visit your boutique and purchase outfits you have created.

Shopdo can be accessed via the phone menu and requires an internet connection to use. When you select the Shopdo app, the game will inform you that your boutique, profile and Owner ID will be made public to other players. Your profile card can be edited via the Contacts App and displays basic information about your character. When enter the Shopdo app, there are four options available: My Shop Data, Recent, Search by Owner ID and Favourites. The top screen of the 3DS will display information about your shop and when you enter Shopdo, the game will tell you if you receive any new likes or favourites. Information about your Shopdo Boutique is displayed on the top 3DS screen. The information tells you how many personal likes you have received, how many likes your shop has received and how many likes your catalogue items have received. The total number of likes received is also displayed. Your Owner ID will be displayed on the top screen and other players can use this ID to search for your Shopdo Boutique.

Shopdo Menu

There is one important aspect to know when using Shopdo. The Shopdo feature (as well as Designer Lounge) are region-locked and you can only search for Owner ID's/visit boutiques that were uploaded in the same region as you. The following points detail what content you can access in regards to the region your game is:

• Style Boutique: Styling Star = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the EUR/AUS region who are playing Style Boutique. Cannot access Style Savvy or Girls Mode players.
• Style Savvy: Styling Star = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the NA region who are playing Style Savvy. Cannot access Style Boutique or Girls Mode players.
• Girls Mode 4: スター☆スタイリスト (Star☆Stylist) = Can only access Shopdo & Owner ID's from other players in the JPN region who are playing Girls Mode. Cannot access Style Boutique or Style Savvy players.

Some other Nintendo games such as Disney Magical World have this same region-locking feature. If you search for a Shopdo Owner ID of a player in a different region to you, the game will display 'Not Found' after searching. This region-locking with Shopdo was discovered when blog readers were unable to search for my Owner ID. I attempted to search for some Style Savvy players Owner ID's and encountered the 'not found' message. I also attempted to look up some Japanese players with no success but I could successfully search for European players. It is confusing at why Nintendo decided to region lock the online content as in the previous game (Fashion Forward), you could download Caprice Chalet rooms from players from all regions. It is a shame that you cannot visit players from around the world now as it cuts out a lot of content from the game and prevents players from sharing their boutiques and designs with others.

My Shop Data
Here you can edit your catalogue and check your registration information. Select Update Shop Data and the game will update to reflect the latest look of your boutique and items in the catalogue. Select edit catalogue to see the three outfits that you have for sale on your Shopdo boutique. You can design three outfits to display in the catalogue and when players visit your Shopdo Boutique, they can purchase these outfits. You can give the outfit a name and you can choose from all the items in your personal wardrobe excluding designer items.

Examples of outfits you can create to use in your Shopdo catalogue.

You can create three outfits for the catalogue.

Recent
This option displays boutiques that have recently been uploaded to the Shopdo server. Use the arrows to cycle through the Boutiques available. The top screen displays the Boutique's layout and the players profile card is displayed on the bottom screen. You can give a 'nice' (like) to boutiques from this screen, block players and select to visit their boutique.

Search By Owner ID
Use this feature to search for boutiques using Owner ID's. Many players upload their Owner ID's to social media so other players can easily search for their boutiques. Remember you can only search and visit Owner ID's in the same region as you. It will say 'not found' if the Owner ID you are searching for is not from the same region. Searching for Owner ID's is just like searching for Caprice Chalet rooms in the previous game. You need to enter the Owner ID using the numbers on the bottom 3DS screen. For example, search for 00006271056 if you are playing the Style Boutique game. Please visit the Shopdo Owner ID Database if you would like to find Owner ID's to search for or to add your Owner ID to the database.

Use the number pad to enter a Owner ID.

Favourites
Here you can view shops of other players that you have add to your favourites. These can also be accessed via the last tab (with the star) in the Contacts App. When visiting boutiques via Shopdo, you can favourite ones you like and the characters profile card is saved in your favourites. Select the players card and select Ok to easily visit their boutique.

When visiting boutiques on Shopdo, the game will display the player standing behind the counter on the main screen. You can select to view the boutique from the wide view if you would like to see how the player has decorated their boutique. Other players may appear in the boutique and you can talk to them using the arrow keys. If you talk to another player, they will ask if you would like to visit their boutique. This is a great way to meet other players and visit more boutiques. When visiting a boutique, you can add it to your favourites by selecting the star in the top left hand corner. Select talk and the player will ask if you would like to do some shopping or if you would like to take some photos. Select shopping to see the three outfits the player has to purchase in their catalogue. Select the Nice option to give an outfit a like. The game will save when you buy an outfit and you are given the option to save the outfit to your scrapbook. The game uses your in-game funds to purchase outfits.

Visiting other players boutiques using Shopdo.

You can purchase outfits from other players catalogues.

If you selected to take photos, the game will bring up the photo menu. Your character is shown on the top screen with the other player's character and you can choose what expression and pose to do in the photo. You can also change the backdrop of the photo. Photos are saved to your Photo Album and you can take multiple photos during the session.

Take fun photos with other boutique owners!
