How to create a website and shop
 

ShopFactory makes shop building point and click easy. Click on the button to see just how easy.




Add a department
 




Add a page
 




Add a product
 




Add department Meta tags
 

Adding different Meta tags for each department can improve your search engine visibility.

Unless you add department or page Meta tags, your shop wide meta tags will be added to each department.




Add website wide Meta tags
 

Meta tags are read by search engines to index your website. Good Meta tags can improve your listing on a search engine.




Edit a department or page
 

Double click quickly on a department or page to edit its properties or single click on a name to select it, then click again on the same field, to edit it outside of the wizard.




Edit a product
 

Double click quickly on a product to edit its properties or single click on a product name or field, then click again on the same field, to edit some settings without the wizard.




Integrate an external page instead of one created by ShopFactory (Advanced)
 

Link to any page on the Internet instead of using a page created by ShopFactory.

Paths can be complete URLs starting with http.

Departments and some special pages can not be replaced.




Keep track of your resellers
 

ShopFactory shops allow you to keep track of resellers linking to your shop to pay them commissions.
Any one linking to your shop, can add a USER ID to the end of the Shop address, starting with ?mid=
Example: To link to the ShopFactory Registration Shop, the URL would be
http://www.shopfactory.com/shop/enter.html?mid=USER_ID
The USER_ID will become part of the Shop Order, allowing you to keep track of resellers and paying comission for all products ordered.

If you place a link on your site to us with the User Id being your email adress, we can pay you a 10% commission from the second sale from your site onwards. Sign up at www.shopfactory.com to become a reseller.

Example:
http://www.shopfactory.com/shop/enter.html?mid=test@test.com




Link directly to a product, page or department
 

To link directly to a product, department or page from outside of the shop, simply link to the appropriate file. The file names are based on the Product or Department IDs, to be found on the 1st page of the appropriate wizards.

A product with the ID 4 has the file name p_4.html

A department or page with the ID 4 has the file name dept_4.html

A page with the ID 4 has the file name pg_4.html
