Shop Integration via ConnectaStore

Q: How do I integrate a \"Buy Now\" button on my existing website, for one product or my whole range?

Adding individual products or your entire product range to your existing website is very straightforward, whichever CMS you're using. It works just as well with a Wix website builder as with a more complex CMS like Joomla!. Simply select the relevant product and the “Buy Now” button in the menu. You can then edit the design settings, and a HTML snippet will be automatically generated. You just need to copy and paste it into your website builder or CMS and you're done. Integrating an entire store is just as easy. Simply select \"Websites\" as the sales channel and enter the HTML snippet. You only need to do that once and your products shop and design will automatically be updated.

Q: Does ConnectaStore work with WordPress?

Yes — you can easily integrate a store into your WordPress website with ConnectaStore. We’ve developed a WordPress plugin that you can download from your ConnectaStore dashboard. Then, you just need to upload that to your WordPress site.

Q: Can I really use the shop integration tool everywhere?

Yes, we cover certain CMSs by default, but others can be integrated just as easily via HTML code. This means that practically any website can be turned into an online shop.

Q: How can I make sure that my store matches my website?

When you add an online store, it’ll automatically fit in with your website’s design. You can also customize your online store even further in a few clicks. Change the color scheme, resize product images and more.

Q: How do I get paid when someone buys my product?

The payment process depends on which payment method or gateway you choose. When a customer purchases through ConnectaStore, the transaction is processed by a third-party company like PayPal. You'll then receive the money in the account you've set up with the gateway or payment services provider. Offline payment methods can be used as well, like cash on delivery, direct debit, or over the phone payments. If you offer these options, you'll need to give your customers instructions on how to pay you. You can either provide this information during checkout or after the order has been placed, e.g. by email.

Q: Which payment methods are supported?

ConnectaStore supports a large range of other options, but the most popular payment methods are PayPal Express Checkout, Stripe, and Square. Here's how to choose and set up your favorite payment options: Select your favorite payment service providers or gateways from these options . Head to the store dashboard and click on the payment options you'd like to use in your store. Last, connect the payment option to your business account to get paid.
