For a first virtual wholesale meeting, use CLO to create and refine the garments, then share the collection through CLO-SET and agree on a separate process for orders.
- Buyers can review 3D garments remotely when a brand shares a showroom or viewer.
- CLO supports garment design and simulation; CLO-SET provides separate collaboration and product-development tools, including a Virtual Showroom.
- CLO-SET documents both a collection-level 360° showroom and sharing for individual 3D designs.
- A clear ordering process can capture styles, quantities, and purchase submissions after the visual review.
A well-prepared 3D collection lets buyers examine garments remotely and gives the sales team a shared visual reference for the conversation. CLO helps teams create and refine those garments; CLO-SET can bring the collection into a buyer-facing presentation. Ordering remains a distinct step, with its own details and confirmation process.
For a small label’s first online line review, prepare the garments in CLO, share them through a CLO-SET showroom or viewer, and decide in advance how buyers should record selections and submit orders.
Can a buyer review a 3D lineup remotely, and does viewing place an order?
Yes. Buyers can review a 3D collection remotely, while placing an order remains a separate step. CLO-SET’s Virtual Showroom description explains that clients and team members can explore collections and view products from all angles in an interactive 3D environment. Its help guide explains how a brand can publish the room and share its URL with customers.
That makes CLO-SET a useful way to bring the collection into a line review. Buyers can inspect the garments, discuss details with the sales team, and flag styles for follow-up. The guide also describes “Add to Selection,” which lets a viewer save products to a “My Selection” list. If the host enables “Add to Selection” and “Send Email,” viewers can send product inquiries as well.
Viewing and ordering serve different purposes. A CLO-SET showroom supports the visual conversation; an order still needs a clear process for confirming styles, colors, quantities, and any applicable commercial terms. Keeping those steps distinct helps everyone understand whether a buyer is expressing interest or placing a purchase.
For a small label, that distinction is easy to plan for. Use the showroom to answer “Which styles should we discuss?” Then tell buyers where to record selections and how to confirm the items and quantities they intend to purchase.
CLO and CLO-SET have different jobs in the review workflow
CLO is where teams design and develop garments; CLO-SET supports collaboration and product development around those designs. CLO brings garment design, patternmaking, simulation, and virtual sampling into one creative workflow. CLO’s support overview of its services describes CLO-SET as a cloud platform for sharing and discussing 3D garments.
Together, CLO and CLO-SET can connect garment creation with review and presentation. A team can develop a design in CLO, then share it with colleagues or buyers through CLO-SET’s showroom or 3D Viewer.
For a first-time host, this division of roles makes the workflow easy to explain: CLO is used to prepare the garment, CLO-SET helps bring the work to reviewers, and an agreed ordering process handles any purchase that follows. The buyer can focus on the design without mistaking a product review for a confirmed order.
What a CLO-SET showroom can show and how to share it
CLO-SET gives teams two practical ways to share 3D work: a collection-level 360° showroom and an individual 3D Viewer. According to the CLO-SET FAQ, an individual design can be shared by link or QR code, or embedded on a website, and viewers do not need a CLO-SET account. The FAQ also says a published 360° Virtual Showroom can present a whole collection through one link.
For a first collection review, a host can prepare the room and sharing settings in a few clear steps:
- Prepare the assortment and setting. CLO-SET’s help guide explains that a Virtual Showroom is created from an assortment. Hosts can choose a preset environment, upload a 2D image, or use a 360° space image, then add a logo.
- Add the collection. The guide describes adding 3D and 2D content, navigation, and other materials. CLO-SET presents the collection in an interactive environment where clients and teammates can view garments from different angles.
- Choose how buyers should respond. Enable “Add to Selection” and “Send Email” if buyers should save styles and send product inquiries. The guide describes these settings as the route for viewers to select items and email requests.
- Test and share. Preview the room before publishing. Once it is live, send buyers the showroom URL.
For a small label, the available environment options make it possible to create a polished presentation without first producing a custom 360° image. The help guide also notes that each assortment can have one Virtual Showroom, a useful detail when planning how to organize a collection.
Choosing the right CLO-SET sharing format
CLO-SET supports both an immersive collection presentation and a focused review of an individual design. A published Virtual Showroom gives buyers one place to explore a collection, while the 3D Viewer is well suited to sharing a single garment by link, QR code, or website embed. The CLO-SET FAQ says viewers can access an individual shared design without a CLO-SET account.

| CLO-SET format | What it supports | A good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Showroom | A published 360° collection room, shared with buyers through a URL. | Walking buyers through a collection and keeping the presentation in one shared space. |
| 3D Viewer | Sharing an individual 3D design by link or QR code, or embedding it on a website. | A focused review of one garment or a design featured on an existing sales page. |
TYH Textile’s customer story describes using CLO and CLO-SET together for customer presentations, including 3D Turntable videos to show products.
Choose the format that serves the meeting: use a Virtual Showroom for a collection walkthrough and the 3D Viewer for an individual design. Before the call, let buyers know how to record an inquiry or selection, and how to confirm an order if the meeting is intended to lead to a purchase.
When a wholesale platform is the better next step
Use a separate ordering process when the buyer is ready to select styles, enter quantities, or submit a purchase. CLO-SET’s showroom and viewer help buyers see and discuss the garments; an order process captures the commercial details needed to complete a purchase.
The handoff is straightforward. A buyer may identify a favorite style during the review, but a confirmed order typically requires the relevant colors, quantities, and agreed terms, along with a clear way to submit and confirm the purchase. A showroom can support the product conversation, while the ordering workflow records the commitment.
Before the meeting, decide whether buyers should simply flag styles for follow-up or complete an order. If they are placing a purchase, explain where to enter quantities and how the order will be confirmed. This keeps CLO-SET’s visual review experience focused and makes the next step clear to both buyer and sales team.
Which setup fits your first remote line review?
For most first-time hosts, the clearest approach is to let CLO and CLO-SET do what they do best, then make the order handoff explicit. CLO supports garment design and development; CLO-SET gives the team a polished way to share and review that work. A separate ordering process can capture the details when a buyer is ready to purchase.
TABLE / Scroll horizontally for all columns →
| Your meeting goal | Setup that fits | What the buyer can do |
|---|---|---|
| Present garments that are still being designed or revised | Develop and simulate them in CLO, then share the work through CLO-SET. | Review the garment and discuss design details with the team. |
| Walk through a collection in a virtual room | Publish a CLO-SET Virtual Showroom and send the URL. | Explore the collection; use selection and email settings to flag styles or send inquiries. |
| Share one design for a focused product review | Send a CLO-SET 3D Viewer link or QR code, or embed it on a website. | View an individual design; an account is not required for access to a shared viewer. |
| Turn the review into a purchase | Use the agreed wholesale order process after the visual presentation. | Record styles and quantities, then submit and confirm the purchase through the team’s established workflow. |
A small label can make the handoff clear before the appointment. Include the showroom or design link with the invitation, decide whether buyers should send inquiries or place orders, and explain where each action should be recorded. “My Selection” can capture interest during the review; a confirmed purchase needs its own order details and confirmation.
FAQ
Can a buyer view a CLO-SET 3D design without an account?
Yes. CLO-SET says viewers do not need an account to view a 3D design shared by link or QR code, or embedded through its 3D Viewer.
Does a published CLO-SET showroom share the whole collection?
Yes. CLO-SET says the host can publish a 360° Virtual Showroom and share the whole collection with a single link. The help guide says to publish the showroom before sharing its URL with customers.
Can a buyer’s CLO-SET selections become a wholesale order?
A selection is a useful starting point, but it is not by itself a confirmed order. CLO-SET’s showroom guide describes saving an item to “My Selection” and enabling email product inquiries. The buyer and sales team still need to complete the agreed process for confirming styles, quantities, and purchase details.
What should a small label use if it only needs an order form?
Start with the team’s established wholesale ordering process. CLO-SET adds value when buyers also need to review the collection visually; the order form or ordering workflow can then capture styles, quantities, and purchase confirmation.
