Creating a shopping cart at Ecwid
Before adding the widget to your page, it is highly recommended that you spend some time adding and configuring your store components from within Ecwid. First you have to register and create an account at Ecwid.
Ecwid sends you a verification email informing you of your unique store ID. Clink the link in the email to sign in to Ecwid and you will see your store’s dashboard, already populated with a dummy shop, customers and products. You can either delete these dummy products, categories, customers and orders or edit them to suit your own requirements. The dasshboard also contains your widget code. We recommend you use the form below rather than copying the code from the Ecwid Dashboard in particular when inserting the Product Browser Widget Code. This will allow you to resize your Ecwid widget once inserted within your website document.
You will require your Store ID prior to inserting the Ecwid Browser widget within your document. Your Store ID was included within your Ecwid verification email. Alternatively Click here for information on how to get your Store ID.
Product Browser Widget Code
The product browser widget allows the insertion of the shop within your web page. You can add the product browser widget code directly from your Ecwid account. However inserting it via the method below allows for the insertion of the code within a scrollable div, making it perfect for the fixed sized websites exported from Xara software. The form also allows you to configure several of your shop settings.- Complete the required fields section below.
- Please alter the optional settings if you wish to further customise your Product Browser Widget.
