Add a buy button to your website

Once you have a payment link from Stripe or Square, you add the buy button yourself from your dashboard, in the Sell online section. Enter the item name, the price to show, a photo and the link, preview it, then publish. Intermediate plans hold up to 5 items and Advanced up to 25. You can reorder, hide or delete items at any time.

Add an item

  1. Sign in to your dashboard and open Sell online.
  2. Under Add item, fill in the fields below.
  3. Click Add item and preview.

The fields:

  • Name: what the item is called on your site.
  • Price shown: the price your site displays, such as $25 or From $40. It must match the price in Stripe or Square.
  • Photo: optional; choose one of the photos you’ve already sent us.
  • Short description (optional): a line or two about the item.
  • Payment link: paste the link you copied from Stripe or Square. Never paste an API key or any other key; we don’t need one and won’t accept it.
The Add item form in the Sell online section of the dashboard, with fields for Name, Price shown, Photo, Short description and Payment link, and an Add item and preview button.

Your items

The count at the top shows how many items you have and how many are hidden, for example “4 of 5 items (1 hidden)” on Intermediate.

  • Move up and Move down: change the order. Your site shows the items in the same order.
  • Edit: change any field, then click Save and preview.
  • Hide: takes the button off your site without deleting it. Use it when something is sold out. A hidden item shows a Show button to put it back.
  • Delete: removes the item for good.
The Sell online item list showing 4 of 5 items with 1 hidden. Each item has Move up, Move down, Edit, Hide and Delete buttons; the hidden item has a Show button.

Preview, then publish

After you save, a Preview, then Publish panel appears. It shows “Building your preview…” for a moment; click Refresh if it doesn’t update. Then click Preview to see the buttons on your site as shoppers will, and Publish when it looks right. Nothing changes on your live site until you publish.

Before your site’s first launch, our team publishes the first version for you.

The Preview, then Publish panel with Preview and Publish buttons, and a note that says: You changed a price. Change it in Stripe or Square too, or customers will pay the old amount.

Change a price

A price lives in two places, so change both:

  1. In Stripe or Square, make the change. In Stripe this usually means a new payment link with the new price.
  2. In Sell online, click Edit on the item, update Price shown and, if the link changed, paste the new one. Click Save and preview.
  3. Publish.

When you change a price, the dashboard reminds you: “You changed a price. Change it in Stripe or Square too, or customers will pay the old amount.”

Rather we do it?

Email your payment links and photos to sites@uplivra.com, or send them as an edit request, and we add them as an included edit.

Test the button after publishing

Open your live site on your phone, tap the button, and check that the payment page shows the right item and price. Close it without paying, or pay and refund yourself.

Questions

Is adding a buy button an edit I have to ask for?

No. You can add and change buy buttons yourself in Sell online. If you’d rather we do it, send us the link and we add it as a normal edit.
