Website Builder Shopping Cart

  • What is the difference between a variant and an option in our Website Builder shopping cart editor?

    Our Website Builder shopping cart feature allows you to add multiple variants and options for your products. Remember you must have a Business Plan in order to gain access to our shopping cart feature. An option is something like the color and size of the product. A variant is the same product with a different option. For example, a t-shirt can be both red and blue. That would mean there are 2 variants of the product. You can only add a variant if you add an option first. When you add an option, it will appear on the top row next to "Hidden". When you add a variant, it will appear in the row below your current product. How do I add different options and variants of the same product?

  • How do I add products to my Website Builder shopping cart?

    Our Website Builder shopping cart makes it easy to add and manage products from within our editor. There are easy two ways to add products: Add products directly to your product page: 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. If you don't already have a specified product page, click the "Pages" tab (it is shaped like a sheet of paper) and click "Add Page" on the top left. Select "Product" as the page type and click "Save & Edit" on the top left. You will now have a product page which is set up to show the products in your inventory. From your product page, click on "click to add product" to add your products. Here you can enter your product's name, a description, and images. Under the "Variants" section, you can click to set a SKU (our system will auto generate one, but it can be edited), price, stock, weight, and dimensions. You can also use the toggle to keep your product hidden until you're ready for it to show on your products page. Use the "Add Option" button to add product options such as size or color. Then click on "Add Variants" to add variations of your product in those sizes and/or colors. For example, if you added the option for the color red, you can add a variant and make that variant of your product red. Under the "Manage" section, you can select where you want your product to show on your website. Since you added the product from a certain page, this will be the default, but you can change it using the drop down menu. (Only product pages can be used.) You can customize your product's URL under, "Product URL". Please note that this should be set and then not changed or links to your product pages will break. The page's URL was set when the page was created and is also recommended not to be changed. Click the "Save" button on the top left on the screen to finalize your changes.
