Here you go, more Shopify liquid themes that we have converted to Tradelr for your pleasure.

Moving to Tradelr from Shopify and wanting to use your existing Shopify theme? Contact us and we will convert your theme for you for free!

Liquid Templating

Our themes are based on the open sourced liquid templating engine. For those more technically inclined, this engine will allow you to easily create beautiful themes quickly. You can either use your own editor to design your theme or use our built-in online editor.

For those less technically inclined, we have made it easy to create your own unique look via the customisation of selected fields like colour, logo, background-image etc. without needing to know how to code.

As an independent producer, artist or writer, selling your digital products online can be a daunting process.

There are a number of things to consider when selling digital products online. For instance, you will need to

• be able to secure your download links to prevent the buyer from sharing the download link with everyone else on the internet
• provide a secure and quick checkout process where payment can be quickly verified
• be able to embed buy links on your other sites, eg. blogs, forums, social networks to help advertise or market your goods.

There are a number of services that will allow you to sell your digital products. However, these tend to just cater for either digital or physical products.

With tradelr, we provide a facility for you to sell both physical and digital products all from one location while addressing all the above concerns.

And the great thing about tradelr is that we do not charge any commission for each sale.

What can you sell?

With tradelr, you can sell digital goods such as videos, video games, ebooks, software, art, music, fonts and other downloadable products as long as you have the rights to do so.

How to start selling digital goods with tradelr?

Selling digital products on tradelr is not that much different from selling physical products. For digital products, you will need to do the following

1. When adding a new product, click on the digital products tab
2. Select and upload your digital file that you're selling
3. Once your file has been uploaded successfully, you will be presented with the following optional fields that can be edited anytime

Also, on this same tab you will be presented with 3 links which can be embeded externally into your other sites.

What happens when a buyer checksout?

Compared to physical products, when a digital product is purchased, a shipping address will not be required. 

However, a shipping address will still be requested if the buyer's shopping cart contains both physical and digital products.

If the buyer's shopping cart contains digital products, the download links will only be emailed to the buyer once payment has been confirmed.

This is automatically done if the buyer has purchased using paypal. If the buyer had paid using a custom payment method, then you will need to review and accept their payment once you received a notification that a buyer has entered a payment.

Yes, we have outdone ourselves again. It looks like we were still able to squeeze in one last feature before 2012.

You are now able to use our Facebook app to allow customers to directly purchase goods without leaving Facebook.

To help promote your page, add a discount coupon which will be revealed to users who like your page.

Get Started Now!

If you haven't done so, you will need to sign up for a service that will allow you to manage your email subscribers. We recommend MailChimp or you could just use your own personal favourite service.  

Some of the features that we love about MailChimp are the ability to 

• find out the number of subscribers who actually opened your newsletter 
• find out who actually clicked on links in your newsletter
• find out where your subscribers are from
• style your emails while maintaining your branding

And its FREE. In this example, we will show you how to add a newsletter signup form using MailChimp.

MailChimp

1. Once you have signed up and logged in, click on Lists to create a new list. This list will hold the contact information of your subscribers.
    
   
2. Once you have created your list, click on Forms. 
   
   
   And then click on For Your Website > Signup Form Embed Code.
   
    
3. Go to the "copy/paste into your site" section, select and copy the code. This is the code that will be displaying our signup form.
4. Now, go to your Theme Editor page in your Tradelr dashboard and you can either
   1. paste the code into any existing liquid template page that you want the signup form to appear in; or
   2. Create a new snippet called newsletter
      
      
      And then insert the following liquid code into any location where you want the signup form to appear.

      {% include 'newsletter' %} 

In some themes, the ability to add newsletters is built into its settings. For example, for the Solo theme there is section for configuring your newsletter subscription.

Basically, you just need to copy and paste from MailChimp the action value of the form HTML tag.

For a limited time, sign up to MailChimp for FREE and get $30 free monkeyrewards credited into your account. Signup for your FREE MailChimp account here.

With increasing number of shoppers using mobile devices to shop online, it is only natural that every online store owner should be able to properly facilitate these transactions.

We are therefore excited to announce support for mobile themes for tradelr. You can now customize a separate theme to be displayed on iPhone and Android devices.

The customer checkout process has also been updated appropriately.

We are excited to announce some major changes to the tradelr dashboard and online ecommerce platform.

Store Themes and Liquid Templates

All storefronts are now 100% fully customizable via the liquid templating language. With the new system, you can now create custom pages, blogs, navigation structures and customize the look and feel of your online store as much as you want.  A few themes have been included with this latest update and more will be forthcoming.

Member-only stores

With the new platform you are now able to create exclusive member-only stores for selected contacts.

Group Pricing

Are you a supplier or wholesaler? Use our group pricing feature to create different pricing for different groups of customers.

For example, visitors to your shop will see retail prices. Customers and contacts with accounts can view their respective special prices once they sign into their accounts.

This gives a simple way to track what prices have been agreed upon to different customers.

Coming Soon

Some of the major features we plan to have are allowing customers to shop without leaving Facebook and to allow customers to shop directly from their mobile devices.

Create your shop on tradelr today.

tradelr gives you the option to use it as a private inventory manager or a public online ecommerce store.

By default, tradelr acts as a private inventory manager. What this means is that all your products are private only to you and users that you have added to your network.

To make your products public, after signing in, go to Account and check the "Enable online store" box. Unticking this box will hide your online store and make your products private to only you and your network.
