Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home renovation and design, today announced that it has opened its commerce API to third party partners, including a sales channel on the Shopify platform. Since Houzz announced the beta launch of its home products marketplace in fall 2014, the platform has grown to more than five million products and over 10,000 merchants. By opening its commerce API to third party partners, Houzz makes it even easier for merchants to connect with the more than 35 million monthly unique users on its platform who are actively building, renovating and decorating their homes.

“We’re excited to open the Houzz Marketplace to more points of integration, making it easier for merchants of all sizes to sell and manage their inventory on Houzz,” said Alon Cohen, president and cofounder of Houzz. “With an enormous user base that is actively renovating and decorating, and technology tools that help people discover and instantly buy products within the Houzz site and app, we provide merchants with a powerful platform to reach new customers.”

In addition to enhancing the selling experience for merchants, Houzz has been reimagining the shopping experience with new technology that helps people discover -- and instantly buy -- the best products for their homes. Last month, Houzz introduced View in My Room, which enables people to place and see any product from the Houzz Marketplace in their own rooms. Fifty-percent of users who have made purchases in the latest version of the Houzz app used View in My Room to preview the product in their home.
