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. CommentsIgor Wed, 27 May 2009 11:10:29 am That's just amazing! Simon Wed, 27 May 2009 11:24:13 am Looks great and works really easily. Always wanting more but when can we have alternate currency? e.g. sterling and euro? Wed, 27 May 2009 11:42:32 am This is a seriously great feature. Wed, 27 May 2009 12:21:37 pm Apart from the same question as Simon re changing currency, all I have to say is wow. This looks fantastic. Will be having a play with this later today. Wed, 27 May 2009 12:22:40 pm 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! Wed, 27 May 2009 2:34:28 pm 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! Wed, 27 May 2009 2:48:08 pm Great job. Please include sterling and euro as support currencies. Wed, 27 May 2009 8:27:23 pm 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 Wed, 27 May 2009 9:03:05 pm Wow~! Great Weebly. I've waiting for this for such a long time ago. Thanks! George Leventelis Wed, 27 May 2009 9:37:04 pm What about Euros guys?Please dont forget EU. Jake Wed, 27 May 2009 11:01:48 pm Great, this will be very uselful! Linda Thu, 28 May 2009 12:56:57 am 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. Thu, 28 May 2009 4:02:30 am Hi, Thu, 28 May 2009 10:50:42 am Great feature. Something I really would like to use. Unfortunately only possible for USA and UK. What about the rest of the world? Anybody heard about South Africa? Thu, 28 May 2009 11:43:59 am What an awesome job you've done. It is by far the best feature ever! Thu, 28 May 2009 1:26:45 pm I needed e-commerce features and was considering (and being pulled) to change to Wordpress. Now with this new feature, I'll try it out. Thanks!! Thu, 28 May 2009 2:04:25 pm Is there a way to incorporate a store in a pre-existing Weebly site? Thanks! Thu, 28 May 2009 10:20:54 pm @Flip Flop Closet: Nathan Thu, 28 May 2009 11:09:48 pm 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! Thu, 28 May 2009 11:35:03 pm 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. Fri, 29 May 2009 3:20:50 am Love it, but just wondered if I can get the currency in £'s as opposed to $'s? Fri, 29 May 2009 3:50:30 am This is so great! I've been hoping for this, now its "Selling stuff online made easy" himan Fri, 29 May 2009 7:54:37 am hi this is awsome i love it Kanarifugl Fri, 29 May 2009 9:37:18 am Perfect!!! Only missing € now. Fri, 29 May 2009 10:52:12 am 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 Sat, 30 May 2009 6:13:47 am wow thank u soo much weebly! thats awesome that you would give us this feature for free :) Sat, 30 May 2009 10:10:50 am 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 Sat, 30 May 2009 4:05:43 pm Very nice, the update is very helpful! Sat, 30 May 2009 6:06:31 pm Great Look, I hope I can use with my existing store. Keep Up The Great Work!! Angela Sat, 30 May 2009 8:15:50 pm This looks so fantastic. You guys rock. Daniel Sun, 31 May 2009 2:53:13 pm Cool feature, but please allow for localization of the "Buy now" button so It can be used in other languages. ally Sun, 31 May 2009 6:06:06 pm sounds awesome!!! William Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:59:52 am Very cool feature- What's next? Mon, 01 Jun 2009 9:11:04 am THankss SO much! This is great.... One question though .... how do you add shipping & handling & tax? Mon, 01 Jun 2009 6:40:04 pm 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? Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:35:15 am This is really great feature. Is it possible for you to include option for box border, now it looks really plain vanilla. Also, please have the price label in as well? Can u include quantity as well? Tue, 02 Jun 2009 7:15:40 am This is what we the people need on Weebly, great job. Now lets us our brains and create additional revenue for ourselves. Wed, 03 Jun 2009 1:23:59 am Guys - this is a brilliant addition. Wed, 03 Jun 2009 5:11:50 am That's Amazing, Wed, 03 Jun 2009 6:20:29 am I am really excited about the feature, because I had fought with the code side of google checkout a few days before you added it. I was hoping you could add the shipping code to it, or a way to add custom code to the premade click and drags. over all though, Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:55:42 am Would love a way to allow client to download after purchase. Any suggestions? Fri, 05 Jun 2009 2:24:36 pm Is there a function to list how many items are in inventory; and also how to add shipping? Lilly Fri, 05 Jun 2009 6:31:00 pm Nice- Hope we get more updates soon! Sat, 06 Jun 2009 8:05:35 am 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 :-). Sat, 06 Jun 2009 3:00:42 pm Great feature but unable to use it effectively as i'm not able to change the default setting from USD to GBP. Is this possible ?? Craig Sat, 06 Jun 2009 9:13:16 pm 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 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:04:41 am something hapend to my web site, i cant Spottedpaw Sun, 07 Jun 2009 2:49:19 pm So awesome here! Sun, 07 Jun 2009 3:33:52 pm Awesome! I love the idea of creating a store online with Weebly. Keep up the great work! Lisa Sun, 07 Jun 2009 5:19:54 pm 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 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 3:52:21 pm you rock Mon, 08 Jun 2009 7:27:32 pm Very nice! Now I dont have to sell my product on other website. More power to weebly. Mon, 08 Jun 2009 9:07:00 pm This looks helpful. I wish that other features are customizable too. Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:26:21 pm Online stores are the best way to shop from the comforts of your home. Way to go! Tue, 09 Jun 2009 5:04:15 am Thank you!! Thank you!! Can't believe you've gotten this up so quickly!! I second all the great comments above...and can't wait to get started using all these great new features!! YAY!!!!!!!! : D Tue, 09 Jun 2009 9:41:49 am 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. Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:54:34 am Weebly is really coming along. I love what you guys are doing. Domenic Tue, 09 Jun 2009 6:03:42 pm How about a drop down box? That way you could offer different sizes & colors, and quanities Wed, 10 Jun 2009 2:38:42 am Thanks for adding this great feature. Looking forward to more positive developments in the future Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:25:14 am 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. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 8:15:04 am Adding e-commerce features will be very helpful in the long run. Aggregating as much useful information as possible is a necessity. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:18:44 am 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! Fri, 12 Jun 2009 1:09:26 pm 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. Sat, 13 Jun 2009 9:52:42 am Yeah its sound wonderful i am thinking to create my site on Weebly too due to these great features. jordan Sat, 13 Jun 2009 1:00:06 pm wow cool Sat, 13 Jun 2009 1:15:06 pm yeah, these features are really great! I've already made a website but it's kind of geeky. Sun, 14 Jun 2009 9:05:08 am all of the changes you make to the site keep making it more convenient to use. Liz Mon, 15 Jun 2009 1:11:27 pm Fantastic! Tue, 16 Jun 2009 7:21:44 am Hi Weebly Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:04:02 am I have a dumb question: How do we add shipping costs? Wed, 17 Jun 2009 3:50:41 pm Hi Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:56:38 pm Brilliant idea. I've literally just found out about this, so I look forward to seeing how it actually works in practice. Thu, 18 Jun 2009 3:22:11 pm What a great new addition!! I can't wait to try it out. Thanks to everyone at Weebly! Keep up the great work! Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:13:31 pm K, Tobias Sat, 20 Jun 2009 2:14:52 am hi guys, Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:38:33 am The video was cool. I love the new features coming out. I have a Weebly website and I'm definitely going to apply this to it. Sat, 20 Jun 2009 2:40:51 pm I sell tee shirts. Is there any way the customer can select different sizes? That would be awesome! Ema Sat, 20 Jun 2009 4:40:33 pm please change $ into € for Europe Countries asap! Chris Sat, 20 Jun 2009 8:12:38 pm that's really helpful for people who need to sell their products online. Good job keep it up! Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:00:06 pm 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. Sun, 21 Jun 2009 3:00:44 pm 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 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 4:37:19 pm i love weebly i have made a ton of websites on it Sun, 21 Jun 2009 5:05:44 pm Great, but make weebly faster please. I think everyone here can agree with that, y'know when you try to publish your site... Mon, 22 Jun 2009 2:37:15 am would love to have a feature to allow download of files (word, excel, images) after purchase .. is the feature available? Mon, 22 Jun 2009 8:20:29 am please Weebly, add UK pound sterling to your Revenue thingy. I need it badly! Mon, 22 Jun 2009 8:21:38 am Please Weebly, I need uk pounds sterling added to the revenue thing. Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:04:49 am Same as all other UK Weeblies. Tue, 23 Jun 2009 6:08:24 pm 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 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:11:21 am What happend, there hasn't being any new updates for a long time... Wed, 24 Jun 2009 3:57:38 pm Just love the new ecommerce offerings! Considering signing up for the affiliate program soon. Wed, 24 Jun 2009 9:55:38 pm Pinch me...I MUST be dreaming. This is absolutely perfect for my business. Thank you Weebly, you are incredible! Lucas Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:49:46 pm 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. Sat, 27 Jun 2009 3:22:36 am It is great to hear that weebly is launching such usefull features. Sat, 27 Jun 2009 9:32:16 am dude this is so fantastic! great to hear they have good features now! awesome!!!!! Sun, 28 Jun 2009 4:47:55 pm This is fantastic. Just what I needed to sell my eBooks and CDs. And for free! Weebly, you are amazing. Mon, 29 Jun 2009 8:16:18 am 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. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 6:27:25 pm The weebly e-commerce feature is useful.While i want to know is there any other payment except paypal? Tue, 30 Jun 2009 6:32:51 pm It sounds nice.But the weebly e-commerce is not available to all the countries. RAP Wed, 01 Jul 2009 9:24:36 am I think this idea is great!! piece out bro!! mattxxxx Thu, 02 Jul 2009 1:22:09 pm 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. Fri, 03 Jul 2009 9:49:00 am Can't find the page (where to place my google checkout account number) Teranga Fri, 03 Jul 2009 3:27:34 pm Ok it's nice!! Sun, 05 Jul 2009 11:18:51 am This is a great addition. If only you could use it to promote other products, a la the amazon modules on Squidoo. More customizable though. Sun, 05 Jul 2009 11:20:17 am Another nice feature which helps monetizes your site. Weebly is by far the best free sitebuilder available. Kudos! Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:15:24 am this is awesome, so grateful for the people behind weebly!! :) Wed, 08 Jul 2009 3:46:08 pm Fantastic! Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:06:28 pm 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. Thu, 09 Jul 2009 2:02:27 pm Next step is to make this available worldwide. But still great feature. Fri, 17 Jul 2009 8:34:09 am 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!!!!!! :) Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:04:05 pm Hi There !! Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:36:53 am i like the idea but i'm just making a guide to another site do i have to buy it? Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:46:17 am No good outside USA & UK. Pity. Kayla Wed, 29 Jul 2009 9:03:13 am That is awesome!!!! Wed, 29 Jul 2009 6:16:19 pm I live in England, and have now changed my weebly shop currency to ' Pounds Sterling ' ( GBP ). Jemma Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:58:49 am 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. Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:58:48 pm 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! Thu, 06 Aug 2009 9:28:22 am Just started my website a couple days ago. As graphic designer, love the simplicity of the site as well as the flexibility. Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:53:44 pm Well,i just wana say..you guys are the best..thanks weebly for helping me create a site for free and with your easy setup..it was so easy to do..thanks alot..!i highly reccomend weebly to anyone out there who wants to get started with there own website.! Sat, 08 Aug 2009 2:04:37 pm This is a great feature! Sun, 09 Aug 2009 5:35:52 am I love the new features and upgrades. Keep up the good work. Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:21:10 am Hi you Guys at Weebly. Many thanks for all advice on selling my ebooks on my weebly site. Following your instructions, with return links to hidden pages on purchase. I managed to finally get my ebook shop up and running. Sat, 15 Aug 2009 8:01:29 am I also have the problem with Paypal and Google checkout. As they don't provide selling services to south african sellers. However, I came up with my own solution. Thank you very much weebly. I really love being on here. Ty Sun, 16 Aug 2009 4:20:02 pm 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! Mon, 17 Aug 2009 8:15:23 am I also have the problem with Paypal and Google checkout. As they don't provide selling services to south african sellers. However, I came up with my own solution. Thank you very much weebly. I really love being on here. Wed, 19 Aug 2009 1:18:30 am Next step is to make this available worldwide. But still great feature. Thu, 20 Aug 2009 4:15:15 pm E shop is brill, but why can we choose only one currency ? Sat, 22 Aug 2009 1:15:40 pm You are amazing. The ecommerce site requires to have an option for different currency. Otherwise all else is great! Superb! Mon, 24 Aug 2009 3:19:28 pm 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 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:54:49 pm HI Fri, 28 Aug 2009 1:00:14 pm 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. Sun, 30 Aug 2009 10:59:49 am thanks for weebly to the great services.. Sat, 05 Sep 2009 6:25:04 am Love this feature and it's by far the quickest, easiest and best looking I've found. BUT I can't find a way to manage stock control - is there something I'm missing? have looked everywhere but maybe can't see the wood for the tree? Can someone help? Nath Fri, 11 Sep 2009 6:19:53 am Excellent feature, maybe we could have the ability to list quantities available and P+P charges. Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:53:25 pm Great news, Weebly. Student-anne Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:36:45 pm Man this is totally awesome :) Suki Tue, 15 Sep 2009 1:37:33 pm Can you add Moneybookers? In Serbia can't do much with PayPal. JayDee Tue, 22 Sep 2009 2:15:34 pm 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 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 1:54:29 am How to add additional shipping cost ? Sat, 10 Oct 2009 8:01:42 pm Wow great way. Weeby now has support for creating online store here. Good done deal for businesses. Mon, 12 Oct 2009 2:28:15 am Will be using and letting everyone know about this. Great new feature that will be used this time ;) Tue, 13 Oct 2009 6:29:50 pm 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 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 1:26:44 pm 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 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 6:24:07 pm This looks really cool, I may have to try it sometime! Comments are closed.
