Blogs are not only about thought leadership anymore, but also to have some pretty powerful selling tools. In this lesson, we will look into integrating Shopify’s Buy Button directly into your blog posts such that you can showcase those products right within your actual content. This is bound to be a user-experience booster and a seller-conversion enhancer for you.
The Buy Button is one of the features through which Shopify allows you to place purchasing options right in your blog posts. This therefore means that readers can browse and make a purchase with no need to leave your blog- all done within one place. Well today, we will take this a step forward by introducing the section that puts up lists of products on your blog post.
Adding the Buy Button Step by Step
Step 1: Accessing Shopify Admin Panel Login
Login into your Shopify admin panel. Under the same menu navigation, locate Sales Channels. There lies the app and sales channel settings. There, it further leads you to the Shopify App Store.
Step 2: Installing the Buy Button Sales Channel
Open the Shopify App Store and find the “Buy Button” sales channel. When you find it, click on it and click install. This will download the Buy Button app onto your store.
Step 3: Creating a Buy Button
Once installed, you can create a Buy Button. For this exercise, we will attach a product, namely the multilocation snowboard, to our blog post.
Click Create Buy Button
Select the product you are linking to by looking its name up in this list.
When you choose the style, you may click on the button to alter the appearance. Some popular options include:
Basic look
Text: Buy Now or Add to Cart
Link to the detailed view of the product
Step 4: Editing styles
You can later make it fit the design of your web page. If necessary, you could change the style and layout of your button. Once you have achieved the appearance, click on “Next.”
Step 5: Copy Code
You will get a code when you have designed your button. To get this code, click on the tab “Copy Code.” At this point, you are free to leave the setup once you get your code.
Step 6: Putting the Buy Button to your Blog Post
Log into your online store and locate that blog post we created for you in our last video. If you haven’t created one then, that’s okay; watch our earlier tutorial on how to create a blog post in Shopify.
Click the blog post to edit it.
Show HTML. This is quite risky as it may mess up your blog’s layout if done wrongly.
Scroll down to the bottom of the code or locate where you want to place the Buy Button code in the HTML view.
Paste the copied code and save the page.
Step 7: Testing Integration
To test that everything is working, go to your blog and check whether the Buy Button has loaded correctly. You should see the product with the “Add to Cart” button in your blog post.
This means that a reader who clicks on the “Add to Cart” button should be able to add the product to their cart and then either continue shopping or proceed to checkout seamlessly.
