Announcing Weebly E-Commerce Features! 05/27/2009
We're launching a simple yet powerful way for you to create an online store through Weebly today. You can read about it at TechCrunch and VentureBeat, but I wanted to take a minute here to introduce you to the new features.  When editing your site, there are now 4 new elements in the "Revenue" category: Product Block, Product Small, Product Regular and Product Large. The first time you drag one of these on, you will be prompted to associate your PayPal or Google Checkout account with Weebly, so you won't have to worry about that again. Each style has a different way of organizing your product, so you can have full control over how it is displayed. Even better, mix and match styles to draw attention to certain products over others, include colors variations or other options, and add variety to your store. Next, you simply upload a picture, add a title for the product, enter a description and (most importantly) enter a price. All of these aspects are fully customizable, so you can hide the picture or description, or change to any other format without dragging on another product. You have all of the Weebly tools available to create your store. Build it out however you want with complete flexibility -- add featured products on the home page, create pages for categories or products, and feature videos, audio and photo galleries to show off your products in the best light. Best of all, Weebly does not take a cut of your sales, and these features are included free in all Weebly accounts -- so you can get started selling easily and for free!      We've created a couple sample stores, with screenshots above, so you can see some of the power and flexibility of the system, but we're even more excited to see what you can create! We'll continue featuring existing sites, but will also start featuring new Weebly stores, so be sure to submit your site for consideration. We're working hard to bring you the quickest, simplest and most powerful way for you to create your online presence, and we're excited to be able to offer the ability for you to sell products from within Weebly. Thanks again for your continued support! UPDATE (7/8/09): International currency support has just been released and can be configured under the "Settings" tab of the editor.

That's just amazing! Simon 05/27/2009 11:24am
Looks great and works really easily. Always wanting more but when can we have alternate currency? e.g. sterling and euro? 05/27/2009 12:22pm
This site is wonderful! This is what I call a good stimulus plan for all of the struggling small business owners like myself! Thank You Weebly for giving us a hand up instead of a hand out! 05/27/2009 2:34pm
Weebly is one of the best things that ever happend to me and this new feature couldn't have come at a more perfect time! I love you guys! Thanks a million from www.getfoundfirst.com! 05/27/2009 2:48pm
Great job. Please include sterling and euro as support currencies. As yet, I do not have immediate need of these new features, but I am thrilled that they are available to me! Maybe I'll find myself using them one of these days... and, if so, probably enjoying it thoroughly. Happy 05/27/2009 9:03pm
Wow~! Great Weebly. I've waiting for this for such a long time ago. Thanks! George Leventelis 05/27/2009 9:37pm
What about Euros guys?Please dont forget EU. Jake 05/27/2009 11:01pm
Great, this will be very uselful! Linda 05/28/2009 12:56am
Youtube video? Nice I like th video demonstration, although I thought you at weebly would have your own video player-I sure would like a custom video player. 05/28/2009 2:04pm
Is there a way to incorporate a store in a pre-existing Weebly site? Thanks! 05/28/2009 10:20pm
@Flip Flop Closet: Nathan 05/28/2009 11:09pm
Wow, this si one of the best fuctions you guys have added- this allows for users to now make a fully functional site that can be used to sell products! Nice job! I was trying to build the same thing using a paragraph/picture and then creating the "add to cart" from my paypal acct and pasting it in. This looks and works so much easier.... and just in time. himan 05/29/2009 7:54am
hi this is awsome i love it Kanarifugl 05/29/2009 9:37am
Perfect!!! Only missing € now. 05/29/2009 10:52am
When we have the PayPal button so that we can sell on our sites, is it secure and defended against outside access to our PayPal account? ola 05/30/2009 6:13am
wow thank u soo much weebly! thats awesome that you would give us this feature for free :) 05/30/2009 10:10am
I'm extremely excited about this feature. I just tested it with PayPal on my www.CompeteOnWeb.com site...it took about 45 seconds to publish a page that had a test product for sale. ollie 05/30/2009 4:05pm
Very nice, the update is very helpful! Angela 05/30/2009 8:15pm
This looks so fantastic. You guys rock. Daniel 05/31/2009 2:53pm
Cool feature, but please allow for localization of the "Buy now" button so It can be used in other languages. ally 05/31/2009 6:06pm
sounds awesome!!! William 06/01/2009 12:59am
Very cool feature- What's next? 06/01/2009 6:40pm
I want to register a domain but the problem, I don't a credit card account, is it possible to send payment via bank to bank account or money transfer account? 06/02/2009 7:15am
This is what we the people need on Weebly, great job. Now lets us our brains and create additional revenue for ourselves. 06/03/2009 1:23am
Guys - this is a brilliant addition. 06/03/2009 5:11am
That's Amazing, Lilly 06/05/2009 6:31pm
Nice- Hope we get more updates soon! 06/06/2009 8:05am
Deliighted, I have wanted this shopping cart feature since the day I joined Weebly, I upgraded my Art Fridge Magnet web site to an active shopping carts site, in an easy, couple of hours and will gradually upgrade my other Weebly web sites next week and start increasing my promotion to the sites as the shopping cart will bring sales results not just browsers. THANK YOU Weebly :-). Craig 06/06/2009 9:13pm
I could not help but notice the new "Not logged in... Login or Signup?" message that weebyl has added- yeah its great- but I don't want it going to weebly on my site!- Can I remove that feature on my blog? isaac 06/07/2009 11:04am
something hapend to my web site, i cant Spottedpaw 06/07/2009 2:49pm
So awesome here! Lisa 06/07/2009 5:19pm
I think that this is fantastic as I have tried out almost every different ecommerce builder in the last 3 months. So far so good but I'd like to see the buyer to be able to click on the product image and have it either enlarge so they can see detail or have a zoom feature. emily 06/08/2009 3:52pm
you rock 06/08/2009 7:27pm
Very nice! Now I dont have to sell my product on other website. More power to weebly. 06/09/2009 9:41am
I love this site I made my first website and I love it.If you have a chance you should visit I don't know much about the computer. Domenic 06/09/2009 6:03pm
How about a drop down box? That way you could offer different sizes & colors, and quanities 06/10/2009 2:38am
Thanks for adding this great feature. Looking forward to more positive developments in the future Hi. Im a old weebly user that hasnt been on weebly but now im back and ive updated my site so please take a look. Thanks. and yeah weebly uve been doin many gr8 upgrades while i wasnt here. 06/11/2009 8:15am
Adding e-commerce features will be very helpful in the long run. Aggregating as much useful information as possible is a necessity. 06/11/2009 11:18am
Love! Love! Love! Has totally green-lighted the store feature I was thinking of dropping because I didn't have a really fast and easy way to it. Weebly, how do I love thee? I keep counting the ways! 06/12/2009 1:09pm
More then anything else I think that people should be able to upload flash to their header. If the issue is storage space then perhaps have a file size limit. This could be used for so many different things. This is such an easy application to add to the weebly system so what is the issue with not allowing flash. Don't you want people to be able to turn their weebly into vibrant looking headers. Be the best, stay the best and prevail as best. Please show me how fast you respond to feature requests as I keep requesting this. I have introduced many business owners I know to weebly but some of them say they would rather be able to add flash. I would rather them buy a domain and your services by you giving them what they are asking for. You would be the only ones that allowed such a thing on a free service. Build your user base. jordan 06/13/2009 1:00pm
wow cool Liz 06/15/2009 1:11pm
Fantastic! Hi Weebly Hi 06/18/2009 3:22pm
What a great new addition!! I can't wait to try it out. Thanks to everyone at Weebly! Keep up the great work! K, Tobias 06/20/2009 2:14am
hi guys, Ema 06/20/2009 4:40pm
please change $ into € for Europe Countries asap! Chris 06/20/2009 8:12pm
that's really helpful for people who need to sell their products online. Good job keep it up! I have absolutely no idea how this feature works, it is agrivating to not have the line graph, showing how many people visit your site, i loved THAT feature, i am not paying to have a website, that is registered under the weebly domain, I dont think people who are not selling anything should have to put up with this it is horrible. 06/21/2009 3:00pm
Hi Team Weebly, the eCommerce resource is a great addition to your already substantial number of resources. I must say however that had you introduced this eCommerce feature sooner I may have save some dollars; which brings me to my question: Is it possible to transfer products (pictures & descriptions) from my presently owned eCommerce site, www.selectgems.biz, over to my Weebly sites? I have promoted My Weebly sites a great deal more than any other. Any assistance you provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. pisces 06/21/2009 4:37pm
i love weebly i have made a ton of websites on it 06/22/2009 2:37am
would love to have a feature to allow download of files (word, excel, images) after purchase .. is the feature available? 06/22/2009 8:20am
please Weebly, add UK pound sterling to your Revenue thingy. I need it badly! 06/22/2009 8:21am
Please Weebly, I need uk pounds sterling added to the revenue thing. 06/22/2009 11:04am
Same as all other UK Weeblies. I was impressed with the new Revenue format until I tried to use it. I already have an account with PayPal so I went with that choice. The problem was the button. How do I connect the little green button to PayPal? I ended up with two buttons because I could not figure out how to link the HTML with the one offered in the Revenue format. (United States) Craing 06/24/2009 12:11am
What happend, there hasn't being any new updates for a long time... 06/24/2009 3:57pm
Just love the new ecommerce offerings! Considering signing up for the affiliate program soon. Lucas 06/26/2009 10:49pm
Ummmmm. Is the weebly team on holidays, or what? They have not release any thing new for like ever!- can you guys let us know whats going on, what to expect next, I hate waiting around all the time to see waht the new update is. 06/27/2009 3:22am
It is great to hear that weebly is launching such usefull features. 06/29/2009 8:16am
Thanks, Weebly! Been recommending you to friends and several have joined Weebly this year. Being an artist, I was trying to sell my art pieces thru the site and it was extremely tedious work. This new feature is simple and a blessing! Thanks so much for allowing us to utilize the feature for free. 06/30/2009 6:27pm
The weebly e-commerce feature is useful.While i want to know is there any other payment except paypal? 06/30/2009 6:32pm
It sounds nice.But the weebly e-commerce is not available to all the countries. RAP 07/01/2009 9:24am
I think this idea is great!! piece out bro!! mattxxxx 07/02/2009 1:22pm
Guys - go to 'this and that' in the top right corner, suggest new features, and vote on the add currencies to paypal option in recent. Teranga 07/03/2009 3:27pm
Ok it's nice!! 07/07/2009 10:15am
this is awesome, so grateful for the people behind weebly!! :) 07/08/2009 3:46pm
Fantastic! It's a fantastic set up - and I was very excited....... until I got part way through the set up process and found it was of no use to anyone outside of the UK or US! Would have been appreciated if that had been mentioned in the beginning when you promoted the new tools. I hope that google will change this, as I would like very much to use the new modules. 07/09/2009 2:02pm
Next step is to make this available worldwide. But still great feature. 07/17/2009 8:34am
Wow Wow Thank you!! Thank you!! Can't believe you've these features.. I can't wait to get started using all these instead of my yola site... this weebly rocks YAY!!!!!! :) 07/29/2009 12:46am
No good outside USA & UK. Pity. Kayla 07/29/2009 9:03am
That is awesome!!!! 07/29/2009 6:16pm
I live in England, and have now changed my weebly shop currency to ' Pounds Sterling ' ( GBP ). Jemma 07/30/2009 10:58am
Can we have an option of putting the item as sold as i am selling single items and, because of the way the system works it has the pottential of overselling an item so maybe a quantity option could be added. 07/31/2009 11:58pm
Way to go for WEEBLY! I this site to create free pages and its easy to SEO the pages because its Qualified in all aspects. Great Job Weebly! Just started my website a couple days ago. As graphic designer, love the simplicity of the site as well as the flexibility. Ty 08/16/2009 4:20pm
I think that Weebly is an awesome site! No offence, I've used Freewebs.com (now known as Webs.com) before and liked it, but until today after seeing Weebly, I LOVED IT. I'm not a member but I'm gonna tell my mom 'bout it 2 c if I can make a site on here selling paper beads! I really love this site... should've joined years ago! This site looks wicked awesome and hopefully I'll be able to become a member asap! Thanks! 08/19/2009 1:18am
Next step is to make this available worldwide. But still great feature. 08/20/2009 4:15pm
E shop is brill, but why can we choose only one currency ? 08/24/2009 3:19pm
I've now changed my currency from (GBP) to ( USD ), but would still like to give my customers the option of which currency to pay in ( By adding a drop down menu of multiple currencies ) SteveW 08/26/2009 12:54pm
HI 08/28/2009 1:00pm
It's a great feature but I wish they could incorporate the ability to have different options for one item or even different prices. Such as if I were to sell a T-shirt I could list the t-shirt once and have the customer choose the size they need from a drop-down menu. Not featured in weebly but I was able to generate the code through the my google check out account. Nath 09/11/2009 6:19am
Excellent feature, maybe we could have the ability to list quantities available and P+P charges. Student-anne 09/13/2009 11:36pm
Man this is totally awesome :) Suki 09/15/2009 1:37pm
Can you add Moneybookers? In Serbia can't do much with PayPal. JayDee 09/22/2009 2:15pm
Paypal function is great. However, if a visitor adds an item to cart, they get forwarded to your paypal landing page where they can view their cart. When they hit the continue button on that page, they are returned to your website. Anno 09/27/2009 1:54am
How to add additional shipping cost ? 10/13/2009 6:29pm
This is a great new feature. I have tried to set up e-commerce websites using wordpress in the past and think this is much easier. Tari 10/19/2009 1:26pm
This e-commerce is terrible!!! We need more options. Stop giving up crappy upgrades for stuff we don't need like polls and photo captions. Give us something we can use. Amy 10/29/2009 6:24pm
This looks really cool, I may have to try it sometime! Comments are closed. | Service Status
