Have you ever thought about selling the jewellery you made, the t-shirt you designed or e-book you wrote right from your blog without the hassle of setting up a full e-commerce store for just one single product? Have you ever wished you could sell your items in a way that looks professional instead of dowdy?
We feel you.
What if we were to tell you that you can easily begin selling with Ecwid’s “Buy Now” button. Essentially, it’s a plugin you can directly add to your WordPress blog or any website that allows your customers to purchase your products with just one click – they don’t even have to leave your site and won’t be directed elsewhere to complete their checkout.
In this post, we’ll show you how to setup Ecwid’s “Buy Now” button.
Selling From Your WordPress Blog Using The “Buy Now” Button
One of the most simple ways you can sell from your WordPress blog is to add a button or widget that links directly to your product located on specific page or blog post.
“Well Produced Food & Wine” blog is a good example. A team of writers, reviewers and curators manage a blog about wine. They sample all of the wine, develop content based on their tastings, then make their selections available for consumers to purchase directly within the blog post.
