Incorporating products into your website is crucial for increasing your product sales. In this article, we guide you through the process of adding products to your website to create a seamless and user-friendly shopping experience for your customers.
First, access the Websites tab within the Sites section of your account. From there, you can either create a new website or select an existing site from the list to view its pages.
You will then be directed to the Pages section, where you can review preconfigured pages or add a new page to host your products.
Once you have identified or added the page the product should be added to, click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the page preview, then click the Products option.
Note: Please ensure that products are added to a page with an order form to facilitate the successful processing of sales.
Adding Your Product #
To add a product to a page, click on the + Add Product button. This initiates the process, allowing you to select the desired product from your inventory. Once selected, you can further customize the product details, such as the price name and override, before saving it to the page.
Note: PayPal does not support multiple recurring products or bump products with subscription-based billing.
Products Tab #
- Products: Start by selecting a product from the dropdown menu. If the product has not yet been created, click “Here” to create it, then return to this page once completed.
- Price: After selecting the product, choose the pricing option that will be displayed on your site.
- Product Name: By default, the name given to the product appears after the price is selected; however, you can customize the name that appears on the product listing by entering the desired name in this field.
- Price Display Override: Optionally, customize how the price will be displayed on the order form.
Additional Options #
Open the Additional Options menu to choose whether the product should be displayed as the main or bump product, and configure the maximum units per order option if multiple units can be purchased.
Review your configurations, then click Save when all fields have been verified.
You can now view the product details in the Products table. To edit or delete the product, click the three dots next to the product.
To add more products to your website, click the Add Product button and follow the steps outlined above. Once you are satisfied, preview the page to ensure that it functions as intended.
