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.

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.

Tradelr uses the open-sourced liquid templating engine originally created by Shopify.

Tradelr themes are very similar to Shopify themes. However, Shopify themes will not work on tradelr without some changes.

A couple of things which are different in Tradelr includes

• we do not support vendor types
• we do not support product types
• we do not support customer templates
• our product variants are structured differently from Shopify
• we do not support compare at prices
• we support discount coupons

Theme Changes

To modify Shopify themes so that there will work correctly on Tradelr, you will need to carry out the following changes

• rename shopify_asset_url to tradelr_asset_url
• remove link_to_type
• remove product.type
• remove link_to_vendor
• remove product.vendor
• product.compare_at_price_min and product.compare_at_price_max
• rename product.compare_at_price to product.price
• rename product.featured_image to product.default_image
• remove shop.money_format and shop.money_with_currency_format. Tradelr uses currency variable for formatting money values
• rename variant.weight to product.weight
• in your contact and comment forms remove input name brackets from form tag input fields 
• remove customer templates
• add {{ login_for_store }} just before <body> to add links for customers to login

Cart Changes

The following are changes specifically for the cart.liquid template file

• add discount input field if you want to support discount codes. 
• add cart.subtotal_price (before discount), cart.discount_amount, and update usage of change cart.total_price which is not the price after discount.
• rename item.line_price to item.total_price
• remove input name brackets from cart.liquid
• rename item.variant.id to item.id

Product Collections

When determining the current product url, you no longer need to check if a collection exist to create a product within a collection url. The proper url with be automatically determined. For example,

With Shopify, you would have needed to specify

{% if collection %}/collections/{{ collection.handle }}{% endif %}/products/{{ product.handle }}

With Tradelr, all you need to specify is

{{ product.url }}

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.
