- Hey Designers.
Welcome back to my online store build series.
I'm taking you through the full process
of creating my new online store using Webflow Ecommerce,
and we are nearly at the end.
This is the last video in the series,
so if you've missed all the rest
you have missed out on a lot and I would advise you
to go check out the rest of the videos
in a playlist linked on a card up there
and also in the description.
In this video we are putting
the final touches onto my store.
I'm gonna be setting up the emails
that'll be sent out to customers when they place an order.
I'm gonna run through the checklist,
make sure that I've covered everything,
that all of the details that need to be filled out
have been filled out and that I'm ready to go live.
Let's dove in and start with emails.

Let's take a look here at this checklist.
There's lots of green ticks, which is good.
There's not a lot left for me to do.
The main thing is designing my ecommerce emails,
so let's click this and go to the email settings.
Basically, there's a bunch of different emails
that I need to layout.
Some of them are what I will receive
when a customer places an order,
like this one here that you can see.
Some go to the customer.
Basically, I just need to make sure
that all of the content is saying what I want it to
and that all the colors match my design.
Things like that.
I definitely want to add my logo to this email.
That's for sure.
Think that'll make it look a lot more professional.

And as well as the logo and the color,
I can also customize a lot of the text
within these email templates,
so let's go through and make sure
they're all saying what I want.
Sounding like they're coming from me essentially.
(upbeat music)
This first email is one that I will receive
as the merchant when a new order comes through,
so it's gonna be especially important to make sure that
all the copy and things is right on this email.
If you're building a store for a client,
they've gotta understand when they need to fill an order.
Since this one's just coming through to me,
I'm gonna say like well done you.

Who doesn't love a bit of self-praise, you know?
(upbeat music)
And this next email is one that my customers
will be sent when an order is placed.
(upbeat music)
There I've done the copy for the email
a customer will get when an order is shipped
and also when an order is refunded,
if they request a refund.
I'm just gonna quickly send myself a test email,
just to be sure that they're coming through how I want.
Here we go.
This is what my email's looking like.
Looks like that's all good to go.
Let's revisit this checklist.
It looks like we are almost ready to go.
I just need to enable the checkout.
One thing that I have done that I'll just show you
is I upgraded my hosting plan.
You need a different hosting plan
to a regular website to be able to use ecommerce,
so I've just gone for the standard one here.
That's just a thing to note is that
if you are hosting a website on Webflow already,
you're gonna need to change your hosting plan
in order to be able to use ecommerce
and it'll tell you hat in the checklist
if that's something you need to change.
All I need to do is enable my checkout
and my store will be ready to go.
Super excitng.
Then, just like publishing any other changes
to Webflow site, publishing a store is the same.
I'm going to go publish the selected domains
and that'll send my store live to the world.
Let's take a look at my store.
This is live on me site.
I've got these hover states on my images
here on this home page and they scroll.
If I come over to a category here,
like you saw this is my category organization,
and if I click into an item
this has got the colorful background that changes
depending on the category of the print
and then I've got my little image switcher here.
And because I literally just published it just this second
I don't have any orders yet, but I wanna show you
where they'll come in once I do.
It'll be here in this editor version of the page.
There'll be a list of the orders I have
and I'll be able to fulfill them
and send off prints to their new owners.
Then one more thing I wanna show you to do with ecommerce,
if you come over here and to the settings
look at this integrations tab
that I don't think I've gone through yet.
You can set up to sync your inventory,
like all of your products, with Facebook
to run Facebook and Instagram ads with Google,
as well as run retargeting ads.
That's a really good way to drive sales to an online store.
I don't know if that's something
that I'm gonna experiment with,
but, if it's this easy, I might as well give it a try.
I just wanted to show you that it's an option
and that's a thing that you can do
or that your clients can do
if you're setting up a store for someone else.
And that, my friends, is it. That's my online store.
Thank you for sticking with me
throughout this whole build process.
I know it was a lot of detail that I went into.
I appreciate you watching.
I hope you got some value out of it.
I hope you maybe got some inspiration
for creating your own online store or online store designs
or if you just found it interesting
to see how I built this out.
If you're felling inspired by this
and you wanna make your own online store
then you should check Webflow at the link
here onscreen right now
or link down below in the description
and just get playing with it.
Get building.
There is still a lot more that I need to add to my website,
like right now it doesn't even have a portfolio section.
That'll be the next section that I tackle
and I'll be recording the whole process of that,
so if you're not subscribed to my channel already
and you'd be interested in seeing that
then make sure you subscribe
and hopefully I will see you when
that series of videos comes around.
Thank you for watching.
Hope you have a good day.
And I will see you in my next video.
Bye.
