Publishing and sharing products

Once you have created a product with Santu you can sell it anywhere you want by publishing and sharing its buy now and information links.

Publishing

Once you have created a product , you can publish it simply by clicking on the Publish button, instead of saving it.

This will save and publish the product at the same time.

In the product list a published product has a green eye below the checkbox.

If the eye is red the product is hidden.

To publish a hidden product you can also simply click on the red eye to change its status.

Once a product is published it can immediately be purchased and will also be listed in your Santu store.

Sharing products

Sharing your product simply means to make it accessible to as many customers in as many places as possible.

You can share your product anywhere you want:  on your websites, blogs, Facebook, Pinterest, emails, SMS, radio, magazines, TV and more.

A product can be shared as soon as it has been published.

After publishing a product you will see a new share button in the  My product list for the product.

To share it simply click on the Share button for the product.

There are two types of share links: Buy now buttons and links and More details buttons and links.

Buy now buttons and links

These links when used will add the product directly to the shopping cart, for the fastest checkout experience. Customers will only see the product details page, if it is required to select some attributes or options.

They are great, if your customer is ready to buy and has all the information required to make a decision. For example maybe the information is already included in your advertisement or on your website. By adding the product immediately to the shopping cart they help you to improve your conversion rate. Whenever you call to action is to buy the product, you should use these links and buttons wherever you can.

More details buttons and links

The links go to the more details page of a product, where a customer can find out more about it. These links are useful if you believe a customer needs more information before being able to make a buying decision.
