One of the great features that Netcash Shop offers, is the “Buy Button”.

This easy-to-use tool is great for talented bloggers that haven’t quite set up a business yet or prefer to sell directly from multiple blogs. This allows you to add a Button with specific products and services to more places on your website, which means more visibility and more sales!

In short, the Buy Button is an embeddable product template or product card complete with checkout via your Netcash Shop account.

By clicking a Buy Button, customers are able to immediately checkout without having to leave your site.

Here are a few ways and places where you can showcase important products and increase visibility and sales with the Buy Button:

Homepage

Simply showcase a few products and services on your homepage with a “Buy Button”. You can add products that are on sale, new items, best-selling products and so much more.

Sidebar

You can add a Buy Button to your side bar so no matter what page on your website customers visit, your highlighted products and services will always be visible.

404 Error Page

A 404 error can happen as a result of:

  • Moving a page
  • Moving a page’s directory
  • Moving a whole site
  • Mistyping a URL

Customers might think its spam or be completely lost. To show your customers that your store actually does still exist and direct them to the right place you can:

  • Add your branded content to the page.
  • Explain the various reasons for the error and redirect them to your website homepage or product page.
  • Add a Buy Button with your sale item, new product or popular product.

In most situations, customers would log out of the error page and move on, by keeping the above tips in mind this will spark interest and potentially get your products sold after all.

Blogs

If you are writing a blog on specific products or a product launch, you can add a Buy Button with those products on your blog!

While your customers are on the blog, they can add the product to cart and proceed to checkout without leaving the page.

Landing Page

When it comes to product launches or if you simply want to promote a specific product or service, you can create a landing page.

Partner Websites

If you have any partnerships with other brands, or are running any competitions, you can simply copy the widget code and send it to the company you are working with.

This may include:

  • A company that you are affiliated with to run a competition
  • A blog that includes your product or a review of it
  • A company you have partnered with
