Product display in a page I design

[tdavis74]

I'm not sure how to do this. I have a page designed the way I want, I just want to insert the product into the body of that page. How do I do that?

Thanks,
Tanya

Is ShopSite generating the page or are you creating it in an html editor of some type?

If ShopSite is generating the page then you just assign the product to the page on Pages > Assign Items > Products.
This assumes that your page template has th e[-- loop products --] code and that you have a product template that has the layout for products defined in it. Both of those conditions are met when using ShopSite provided templates but if you are creating your own template you need to make sure you have them properly defined.

If you are creating the page in an html editor then you would use the OrderAnywhere feature to get the code for the Add to cart button and view cart button. This is found under Merchandising > Order Anywhere. You just click the Show Selected html, then copy what is displayed and paste it into your html editor. Note that this only provides the Add and View cart buttons or links, you will need to manually add all other product information, graphic, price etc.

I think that I would be looking to build my own template. I need the navigation, headers etc to look like the rest of my website. This is a donations page so I need to have the variable price box on the page. Is there a way to edit the html of the products page that Shopsite generated for me during the wizard? I think that would be the easiest way for me to get what I want.

Depending on the version of ShopSite that you are using there may be a donation product template included. Look for a Donation.sst or Invoice.sst under Products > Edit Product Layout. Then select one of those templates for your product. You can change the text that displays on Preferences > Store Text > Store pages.
