Tips for Creating an Online Store

Multiple Images

Monday, May 19th, 2008 by rishi

Now you can add multiple pictures for each product. Show all the angles, zoomed in photos, different colors and styles.

Here is How it Works:

1. Login to your headquarters and upload your images on the product page.

2. Set a primary image. This is the image that will be displayed as a thumbnail on your homepage, department, and brand page. *Optional

3. Link up your images to specific variations. For example if you have a t-shirt available in green and blue match the green variation to the green t-shirt picture. This way the image on the customer receipt and cart will match up. *Optional

I’m really excited to see how all of you use this feature.

What is PayPal Express Checkout?

Saturday, May 10th, 2008 by rishi
PayPal Express Checkout is a service that allows your customers to pay using a PayPal account instead of a credit card. They can make purchases without entering billing, shipping, and credit card information since that information is already stored with PayPal.
Does it cost extra to use PayPal Express Checkout or do I need a special account?
PayPal Express Checkout can be used for free with any PayPal Business account, which you must have anyway in order to use eCommerce in your store.
How do I activate PayPal Express Checkout in my store?

1. Log in to your PayPal Business account.
2. Click the Profile subtab located in the top navigation area and then “More Options”
3. Click the API Access link under the Account Information header.
4. Click “View API Certificate” under Option 2
5. Copy your API Username, API Password, and Signature and enter it into your Store Headquarters.
