• Does your Website Builder shopping cart deal with shipping?

  Yes, our Website Builder's shopping cart has a built in shipping system within our editor. You can ship to every country in the world. Our system allows you to define your shipping rates based on shipping zones. You can add shipping zones that you want to ship to within our editor. To add a shipping zone, follow these instructions: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select “My Websites” from the left-side menu bar. Click on the "edit" link next to the website builder you want to use. Click the "Shopping Cart" tab (the one that looks like a cart) on the left-hand tool bar. Click on the shipping tab. Click "Add shipping zone". Enter the zone name (this is for internal use and can be whatever you want). Then, enter the country you want to ship to. A list of countries should show below. Once you've selected a country, the system may also show states or provinces below the country name. If you don't want to include a certain state or province, you can click on it to remove it. Once you are done, click the "Save" button at the top of the page. After you hit save, a place to add your shipping rates should appear. To add shipping rates follow these instructions: Follow the instructions above, then click on "Add rate". Choose what you want to base your shipping on from the drop down. Options are free shipping, based on order price, and based on order weight. Give your shipping rate a name (this name will be displayed to the customer at checkout). Depending on what you've selected from the drop down, you will either have a place to input the minimum weight or minimum price and maximum weight or maximum price. If you want your maximum weight or price to be unlimited, use the unlimited toggle under "Maximum". Finally, input the shipping cost and click the "Save" button. You can enter as many shipping rates as you want for each shipping zone. Please note that you will need to set up shipping zones before you can set up taxes.

• How do I change the name of a page on my website in your Website Builder?

  To change the name of a page on your website in our Website Builder, follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select “My Websites” from the left-side menu bar.

If you've upgraded, you can also set a description, the URL for the page, a thumbnail image that will show if a visitor shares your page on social sites like Facebook, prevent search engines from indexing your page, and disable the page, which allows you to edit it without publishing it. Hit "Save" at the top to save your changes. Note: Changing the title of the page will not change the URL unless you have upgraded your Website Builder to unlock that feature. However, if you want your page's URL to match the name on the page, you can simply create a new page and it will set your URL to match your page name. (If you use multiple words in your title, it will put dashes between each word.) Doing this may require you to delete a page as you are limited to one free page.
