How to Embed a ‘Buy It Now’ Button into a Blog Post

Written by posted

Smooth user experience is something that shouldn’t be out of your reach, even on the most basic of blogs.

Let’s take a detailed look at how to let your fans buy straight off your blog without having to leave the page.

  1. Go to your product’s ‘Share’ page and select the ‘Get a button’ tab.
  2. Choose your button style, color, and if you want the purchase to be carried out on a separate tab or if you want the buyer to stay on your page.
  3. Then copy  the code for your button
  4. And paste it into the html or text tab of your post – here we use WordPress, so we paste it into the ‘Text’ tab.
  5. And voila! A beautiful buy now button to sell your product right in your post without leaving your Ecommerce site!

      Hi Wilson,

      While we do have plans to create a Spanish version of Selz, I wouldn’t be able to give you an exact date on that just yet. In the meantime you could use our jQuery plugin https://github.com/Selz/jquery.selz to create your own custom buttons.

      Hey there, yep it sure is. You just need to paste the button or widget code into the HTML or Text tab in your blogger post, and publish it. Blogger can be a little funny with not showing the button or widget in their preview view, but if you publish it you’ll see that the product displays correctly.

    Is there a way to embed the buy now button in the blog in selz? I want to have a blog, with a simple way to have people purchase it right in the blog. How do I make that happen?

      Hi Phillip! At the moment, there is not a way to embed a buy button into the blog on your Selz store. We see a lot of sellers add in a link to their product that drives your readers right to the product. That is the most popular choice!

      It is a great suggestion to allow buttons to embed into the Selz blog itself and we will be sure to pass that along to our engineering team.
