- [Scott] Are you looking for an easy way to start selling online? Do you want something that's simple to use for you and your customers? And how about free?
Do you like the idea of using a trusted free tool so you can keep more of your profits?
Well in this video, I'm going to show you how to set up your online store so you can start making money today. (air whooshing Get Started To get started, we want to go to jotform.com and we're going to come over here to products and select Store Builder.
Now, Jotform is the leader in online forms and that's important, because when it comes to creating a store, you want to make sure that you have all the right information and that you can trust the system that you're using not only for collecting payments but for getting all of those orders right. And the best thing of all,
about Jotform store builder is that it's absolutely free.
So let's get going and say Get Started. We are going to be brought to this screen where we have two options. We can either start from scratch, this is going to take you a little more times because you'll be starting from a blank space, or we can start with a template.
And I would typically recommend this option. Not only are there over 300 templates for us to choose from but remember, whatever you start with here you can customize for your own needs.
It doesn't mean that just because this is a ticket selling template that I have to be selling tickets, I can use it for anything I want, whether I'm selling a product or whether I'm selling a service Keywords And instead of just browsing up and down you can also type in some key words.
So let's say that I am wanting to create a store for my massage therapy clinic. Well, if I just type in the words massage, I've got some three great examples right here. And you can also see on the left hand side that we have all these other categories that we can browse as well.
Now, one of the great things about these templates is that if I click on the preview button here, it's going to give me a full preview of this store, not just a screenshot,
it's actually something that I can browse up and down. So if I click on Schedule your Booking, it's going to bring me to this page, I can see what it's going to look and feel like.
Hmm, that's not exactly what I'm looking for, let me try this one out here. And yes, we can even try this preview out between our phone, tablet, and desktop views, so you can be confident in terms of the layout and what this will look and feel like.
Here, if I select book session, here I can say Add cart. Yeah, I like what this is looking like,
I like the workflow, I like how smooth this is. So I'm going to select use template at this stage. Store Builder And in just a few seconds, we are brought to the Store Builder editing page where we can customize every single element that we see.
Now, the first thing you may notice is that there is a difference between the home screen the first place that users will see, and our listings of the different services that we will offer.
You can create your store just like you would any other webpage. And down below you can see that distinction as well, between the homepage and then the area where they will be able to book a session.
Of course, you can change this. Maybe you only want to show the cart available items and you can do so as well. But now it's time to customize the look and feel and almost everything is clickable and ready for us to change.
Customization So obviously this is not the name of my massage therapy clinic, so I'm going to click on it and I can easily change the name of the title.
I can also, of course, come up here and add my own logo and change these style as well. So if I have a custom background color that I want to use, or a specific background image I can change anything that I want on this page.
Paint Roller But I can also click on this paint roller icon and change any of the colors and themes for my entire store. So maybe I want a brighter color, hmm, maybe that's a little too bright. Let's try this pink. Hmm, I maybe prefer this darker purple.
I can even of course add my own colors if I have custom branding that I want to apply. And remember, none of this requires any code at all. On the left hand side of the screen we can add further elements.
So if we want to add our own images or additional buttons we can do so here on the left hand side, so you truly have the ability to add anything that you want Edit Offerings as a part of your store.
Next, let's make sure that we go and edit some of these offerings. So if I double click on this item here I can bring up the edit screen and maybe I don't offer a hot stone massage, maybe I offer a cold stone massage. I know, that's not really a thing, I don't think. Let me know in the comments
if you've had a cold stone massage and maybe my pricing for this is only 9.95 so I can come here and change my pricing, change my descriptions, all at the click of a button. If needed, we can also come up here to the options tab and add a quantity selector.
Now, in my example here, since I'm providing a service, I am not going to be offering more than one at a time. But if you are selling a product, this makes a lot of sense allowing people to have multiple items.
But perhaps the most important thing to pay attention to when it comes to selling online is making sure that you get paid. And Jotform Store Builder makes that very easy as well.
Get Paid Here you can see this little payment card called Store Properties, and if I click on this, it's going to give us the ability to integrate with a number of payment processors.
Now I'm just going to delete this Stripe option here so I can show you all of the different payment gateways that are available. Whether you use Square, PayPal, Stripe, Venmo or almost anything else, you can make sure that you get paid and you get paid today.
So whichever payment option you would like, let's just select Square in this example
and it will walk you through how you can connect it to your payment provider. Now, once we're happy with how our store looks let's come up to the top and select settings. Now, there's a few different options that we want to pay attention here.
Number one, is this store going to be open? You can choose if it's enabled or disabled, or if you're wanting to run a very special sale or a special promotion,
you can choose to disable it on a specific date. But where we really want to pay attention is to the app, name and icon. Within this menu, we have the option
of giving it a specific name for those users who choose to add it to their home screen. Yes, the bonus of using the Jotform Store Builder is that they have the ability to add this directly to their phone or mobile device.
So in this example, I'm just going to call it something simple like book massage, because maybe I want them thinking more about booking the massage than necessarily my name. And then I can come over here and edit the icon to whatever I like.
Now I can come over here and upload my own image, such as my own logo, which would probably make the most sense
but I can also come over here and choose an icon. So I'm going to type in the word relax and see what comes up. And although this is really for meditation I think that works well with book massage.
In fact, it almost looks like someone is on a massage table. So, I'm going to use that for my icon in this case.
Lastly, we want to come over here to the publish button so we can look at the various ways in which we can connect our store to our website or simply share it directly with our customers.
So number one, here is your direct link. So you can copy this link and put it or share it anywhere that you like. You can also generate your own unique QR code.
So if you'd like to share this on existing materials or maybe you do have a brick and mortar store, you can add this QR code there as well. Lastly, on the left hand side, we can choose the embed option. So if you don't want to send them to a separate page
you can choose to embed your store within your existing website. So if you want to create your own online store in a matter of minutes, do it for free and get paid today.
