We’ve been working hard to give you a beautiful way to set up shop on Wix – and now it’s live!

Setting up shop has never been so easy!!

We’ve had a lot of requests for an eCommerce solution on Wix. Well, we’ve been working hard to give you something great! Our new eCommerce widget is simple to use, beautiful to display and able to handle all of your selling needs.

We’ve also uploaded several new eCommerce templates for you – you’ll find them in Create. As usual, you can start from scratch or add the customizable eCommerce widget to an existing site and make it your own.

How to start selling online:

Open the editor (via your site or our new eCommerce templates) and go to Widgets > eCommerce

The eCommerce widget is a premium feature made up of 3 elements: product gallery, shopping cart and checkout button. You can take them apart and customize each individually OR work with all the elements together via “Stores”.

To start customizing each section, simply double click! Use the property panel (bottom of editor) to change skins, colors, manage your product and add your PayPal email into ‘settings’… You’ll find the full ‘how-to’ here in our help center, Wixpedia.

Ready to add eCommerce features to your site?

Go play with the Wix eCommerce widget in the editor. Then all you need to do is upgrade to the Wix eCommerce package and your ready to sell! If you have an existing upgrade, don’t worry, we’ll only charge you the difference when you upgrade to eCommerce.

We’d love to see what you’re creating with Wix eCommerce!

So if you are ready to start designing the “look” of your first free website on Wix, then here are some specific recommendations on how to take the first step in this direction.

These essential recommendations were gathered by Robin Good, Chief Editor of ‘Master New Media Independent Publishing and New Media’, and are only a small part of the new WixPedia learning center…
