E-commerce

FolioStop has e-Commerce capabilities, which allows you to sell whatever you want to your website visitors. In order to use e-commerce, you will first need to set up a business account with PayPal. This is easy but it can take up to four days to register.

If you haven't already, set up a business account with PayPal.


  • Choosing your e-commerce options

Choosing your e-commerce options

Once you have set up a business account with PayPal, click the 'e-commerce' tab at the top of the Main Edit Window. This is where you configure your e-commerce settings.

You can either choose to have:

No e-commerce

Single Item: Select this item if you wish to sell just one item at a time and do not require a shopping cart.

Shopping cart: This option allows you to sell multiple items with 'Add to cart' functionality. The cart is hosted on PayPal. 'Add to cart' allows the customer to put various items in their cart before paying for them. It saves them from having to pay for each item individually.

NB: If you choose to have a shopping cart, you will be asked to choose where to place your checkout button on your site (this will be a floating button). Horizontally, you can specify how many pixels from the left, middle or right you want it. Vertically you can specify how many pixels from the top, middle or bottom you want it.

For example, if you want your checkout button to be 100 pixels to the left of the middle, enter "-100px from middle", or 200pixels to the right of middle would be "200px from middle". A centemetre is roughly 40 pixels.

The BUY button will always be displayed with the info, which means the placement of your BUY button will depend on what gallery style you have.

If you wish to change the font etc of the e-commerce pricing info, go to the Design Window, click on Galleries and change the Info font.
