Set Up Your Online Store for FREE with Google Sites (Step-by-Step Guide)

[@TaraSueSalusso]

Hi Tava. I spotted you a while back when you taught me how to create my own site on google sites and was so impressed not only with your site but how you created the tutorial. I learned a lot. Although I had used the google sites templates previously, I never thought of building my own design. I have only scratched the surface of what I want to do but you got me moving in the right direction. Now when I'm searching about how to add a stupid Paypal button to my site, I find you again. What a treasure you are. I will have to watch this again and who knows maybe a couple of times but this is clearly the next step for me. I am also an artist and photographer. I only have paintings posted so far that are consigned to a Gallery so they are conducting the sales via Artsy. I need to set up my own storefront for the rest of my work. Thank you for all your help. 5 star rating.

[@tavakessler]

Thank you, Tara! (great name by the way!) glad I could help you out!

[@cynthiasuzanne]

This is extremely helpful! I'm not sure whether this will scale with a growing business but it definitely gives me a starting point for creating an online store in google sites. Clear and no fluff

[@kashishbawangade2783]

hey, are you profitable?

[@stars.0.stripes]

Starting my online business. Glad I came across your video and created my website. I'm so happy with the results. Your video is helping all the small businesses. Please keep making more of these. Also, I'd be glad if you could help me with the cart button options after embedding shop code on google site. Since it is only on the store page and the cart items disappear once you switch to another page.

[@wepeoplennhere6722]

What is di link

[@DaviRodrigues-od6rg]

sorry to ask but what is your store?

[@ShahidAli-gd2lo]

Assalamualaikum can we talk plz

[@Yub1Tub1]

For the downsides and issue @16:07 I would add a button that redirects to the store and name it "back button".

[@Drumzoo]

How could you link back to the store without emptying the hopping cart? What would the link be?

[@manybikes]

Great idea!

[@sweetandlovely23]

hi - can i connect ecwid to my 3rd party shipping provider ? how do i do that before i connect to my google site ?

[@hausplayer]

Is there a new way to add a shop after 1 year?

[@xclusiveedits6109]

Can you add things like Coupert and Honey to the website?

[@Oliveoilgirl]

Glad I find your video and channel , you helped me start my own website for my painting instead of paying 3k for just a website ! you deserve all support !! Thank you million times

[@Megabyte1]

OMG Thank you so much! You don't know how much this helped me! You are helping my single person business literally get started! THANK YOU!

[@robthequiet]

To get around the going back and losing shopping context, could you just add "target=_blank" to load the store into a separate window?

[@norman-lemon-email]

have you testd this? Pls share the code and where to put it

[@robthequiet]

@@norman-lemon-email I am asking the question of the OP.

[@ClareDurst]

exactly what I was thinking. Just edit the code you post in your site page.

[@alstenmart]

Did anyone try this? Do any of the suggestions above work?

[@Deepwavefrequencies]

how we can add downloadable music to our site if i want to sell my music

[@cathyhdhq5639]

This was very easy to follow. I wonder if I can change, customize store page in url with store name. Thank you

[@sarapowter]

I worked out how to add ECWID to my Google sites. I did set up a button, but the link is to the off store site. I have no trouble then with the cart deleting and it works perfectly. MUCH easier than adding a IN page store. Thanks though this set me on the right track.

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

This is going to come in very handy!! Thanks Tava & have a great day!!! 👍👍😁

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

Hey Tava, I hope I'm not overstepping, but I think you should start teaching courses on Udemy or Skillshare. You have the chops for it.

[@HARPEXbeats]

With Google sites can you sell audio/beats with an audio player and licenses just as big platforms like Beatstars?

[@Elenap_41]

Thank you so so soo much! I couldn't find a video that goes step by step. Then I found your video! Thank you, again!

[@kevmo19]

great video, this was exactly the tutorial i was looking for to help with my side business. thank you!

[@canyonshull1834]

What store can you use to sell things so you can link the store page to the a button

[@samuelseefeld]

You could use any store that has a link to access it on the web browser, you could just paste that link so the button takes you there

[@carolwynn1404]

Thank you for such relevant information. After adding a picture to the store, can you go back and change the picture?

[@cubingwarehouse6856]

How do you add a feature to go back to the catalog after adding something to cart?

[@chrisperry2926]

how do you add the table of contents to the side

[@georgerussell5826]

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to sell digital products this way? PDF's for example?

[@DamonStefanieGibbs]

How do I change the type of item I will be selling on Ecwid? I accidentally chose apparel and I can't find how to correct this?

[@jledoux88]

Thank you so much!! I only had to watch a fraction of it and was hooked. Was using Google Site Link and OMG...no! Thanks again!

[@ResumenExpress]

Is there a free alternative for a store that is only catalog-purpose? Just to show products, not to link payment gateways or anything. But it would need to be a free alternative and allow at least 200 products, thank you in advance if you know an alternative!

[@alanmusic3495]

If you find something like that please let me know. I'm looking for something similar to that.

[@shwitikale6577]

I have a question Do you know when sites have an option to choose the amount of a item you would like. Kind of like a box with arrows like < and > and a number inside. Thank you for your tutorial

[@HaroldSink]

Can you add pages after publishing? Also, how could I make my site so that customers can create their own login and pay for my services. I am an exterminator, and would also like to create a receipt page that my customers can download and / or print off for their records. I would also like to tie in my "Square" account.

[@chichyiphone4]

Can you do a video on a professional “contact us” page not google forms since to send a message the individual must be signed in to google.

[@tavakessler]

Yes! I actually JUST did that, here’s the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp69nnVrpr-Weas

[@tavishiagarwal1297]

This is helpful, but ecwid has a limitation of 5 products for the free plan. Are there any alternatives for an e-commerce store ? I have like 20-30 products

[@lizakennedy1735]

question I am service-based business should I do different services that I do in my website

[@fknguy]

Thank you. Glad to hear Ecwid is somewhat reliable, safe and stable. The client is on a budget and time crunch so this is an excellent great option for google sites!!!

[@corinnescustomcrafts]

It's worth noting, and I don't know if it was already mentioned somewhere, but the free version of the ecwid store only lets you list 10 items -_- The next threshold is kind of ridiculous, $15/month for 100 items which is way more than I need. Guess I'll just bundle my items together for a max 10.

[@chrisvveee_2730]

I have 2 separate categories within Ecwid example one is "pizza" and the other is "pies". My question is when Im clicking on one of the categories named "pizza" inside google sites how can I redirect to the page labeled pizza? Basically I don't want both categories under one page I want it to redirect that categories to a specific page within google sites.

[@g.josephherveahissou1148]

Very smart! Fluent, clear, precise! Kudooooosss

[@travisstecher]

Awesome video. I have a small collection of merch that doesn't sell enough to justify the cost of a host site/cart, and I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to design my own cart in google sites with paypal. Thanks!

[@RonWaller]

Site "storage" limited to Google Drive storage amount correct?

[@P.S.-dv3du]

Were you using the free versione of ecwid?

[@Tuharah]

Hi. Do you know if they've fixed the issue with the cart emptying when you leave the page?

[@ItsJustJayla]

Mine still does this in 2024

[@Tuharah]

@@ItsJustJayla Just FYI I don't remember the fix because I decided not to build one but when I googled months ago there was someone who posted some code to add to your site to fix the problem. I have no idea who it was and which website it was on.

[@eibhincolman1902]

Once you link the ecwid up with the google sites can you still edit on the ecwid and will it show up on the google sites?

[@a.s.476]

Thank you so much! This will help me a lot in building my website!

[@FizzakamranAnjum]

Hey, what if we have all digital products? Can we upload and sell digital products through ecwid. Please let me know if it's free to sell digital products with Ecwid.

[@chitown2qute]

My issue is it don’t look or scroll right on your cell phone. Any help?

[@darksidevenom6]

What about a digital thing like the initial presets can you do that using the second method so that its not a physical Item?

[@metaenlightenment4126]

Thanks, so much for your tutorial videos. They have been very helpful.

[@z0nezero13]

Thank you. Solid tutorial. About to get mine hooked up tonight.

[@tavakessler]

Good luck! Hope it goes smoothly

[@mehere28]

Hi. Can you pls make a tutorial wherein we can setup/sell digital products using google sites+free method please? Thanks in advance : )

[@OKLOL320]

Question, those downsides you brought up, will they still arise if I was to interfere Edwic with a custom html website i code from scratch?

[@StefTechSurfer]

Does your Mac freeze system wide? Mine does sometimes when playing a KZbin video.

[@PepitoGrilloCanarias]

Great solution, specially the second one. Only one question, is it possible to have it in Spanish?

[@peachchampagne4766]

Thanks Tava... Great video let's go put to practice and see if it works.

[@speedyjackson8380]

Hey um had a little query, that if I also want to put photos and video online for people to buy, so they will pay me online, right? Then are they going to receive the photo/video, or do i have to shift the product, because it is a soft copy, he should get the photo/video in png/mp4 format! Can u guide me plz?

[@etherealmako]

For digital products such as pngs or mp4s, you have to buy the Ecwid plan for $15 a month in order to sell digital products.

[@marijanmadunic3046]

I need menus at the top, but placed horizontally next to each other. Can someone please give me a short instruction or a link to the tutorial because the ones I find with this topic on YT are not OK?

Good job kid. You helped out a lot. I appreciate you sharing the information and doing such a thorough job with your research ahead of time.

[@HealthWealthRelationships700]

Nice video. You can also cut and paste a buy button from Paypal.

[@gollumsmeagul8266]

Wouldn't it be easier just to add a Pp button? instead of signing up to another site and adding all the products. it seems to me that is just building another website but with payment options.....then again i may be wrong lol but a simple Pp button seems much easier, i will admit i have yet to do this as i am only just setting up my new site....all in all a helpful video so Thank You :)

[@fayszone]

just used that seems much easier and simplier :D

[@porkoholic]

awesome information and very nicely explained its just that you could have told us about the "not super ideal" part at the beginning instead ;p

[@karenhukpati5553]

Is it possible to add a google form to the product page

You can add a google form to any page!

This looks so much better than what they provide. Followed the same steps but doesn't show what is in the video. DONT CHANGE WHAT ISNT BROKEN. The fact that google doesn't incorporate its own features into itself, is beyond sad. Stone age, here we come!

[@khalid.6540]

Thanks man!! 👏👏👏 Keep going

[@daughterofarevolutionary-s4376]

Do I still need to host my Google Website?

[@KismetGold]

I think not. You can buy a domain name though through google site though. Nonetheless, you can start sharing your site as soon as you published it.
