Creating an online shop allows you to easily connect with your customers and makes it easier to showcase your products to potential clients. In this article, I will show you how I created an “Electricity Tools” shop step by step, using PagePalooza.

We will generate an informative website for our shop, purchase the $45/year ecommerce extension, connect Stripe, add 3 products (a wire stripper, a multimeter and a screwdriver set) and list these products on our generated website. The complete process should take you less than 15 minutes.

This shop will be a simplified shop with only products and not item variations such as color, size and other specifications.

Step 1:

After signing-up on PagePalooza.com, you have to generate an informative website. You can also claim a predesigned theme which could also be a quicker start. For this tutorial, we are going to create a new project and on the “palooza” page, type in a small description for your shop.

I have typed in “An electricity tools shop specializes in providing tools, equipment, and accessories for electrical work”. After that click on the “Palooza” button and wait for the website to generate.

Step 2 (optional):

After the website is generated, you can edit the website in a standard website-editor. You can change text, images, colors, add sections and add a new page.

Step 3:

Next, you will need to purchase the ecommerce extension to activate your “Shop” features. Go to the “Plugins” tab and activate the “E-commerce” plugin by purchasing. The cost for this plugin is 45$/year and no fees other than Stripe fees which we will be connecting in the next step.

Step 4:

After purchasing the “Ecommerce” plugin, a Shop tab will appear. Head to the Shop and click on the “Stripe Connection” button.

In the pop-up you should enter your Stripe public key and secret key to connect your stripe account. PagePalooza does not take any additional fees. You will only pay the $45/year PagePalooza fee and Stripe fees.

Step 5:

You can also start with adding your products. Fill in the details for each item. Set the type to “Digital” if you are selling a digital product. Customers will receive an email with a downloadable link you set when adding the product.

Step 6:

In order to list the products we adding on the website, we have to add a new section witch will contain these products listed. Go to your apps dashboard and click “edit website”. After the theme editor opens, in the top toolbar click on “Sections”, then “Add Section” and look for the “Ecommerce Extension” sections and add the “Products Cards” section.

Step 7:

The products we added will be displayed on the website. Once you add your domain the below new section will show. Customers can directly buy the product and checkout.

PagePalooza is a SaaS or web-app builder where everything is customizable with no limtations. Check out the “engineering tasks” tab in your project dashboard in order to request custom tasks for a one-time fee. Own the customized code and scale into an MVP. These tasks can be built on top of the website you generated and already own as an online shop.

After you have successfully completed the above steps, and the website is hosted, users will be redirected to a built in checkout page. After a successful purchase, you will receive an email and the customer will also receive an email notification.
