Overview
Nice work, you're now ready to promote your store to the world!
There are a number of ways that you can sell your products and we'll discuss a number of those in this article to get you started.
Sell directly through your store
Your store can be used as a standalone store which you can share around and allow your customers to browse your product catalog and buy your products all in one place.
To promote your store as a standalone store;
- Login to your Sugarcoat account and head to https://app.sugar-coat.io/channels
- Here you'll be presented with the sales channels linked to your account. By default, you will have a Catalog channel available, which is your hosted Sugarcoat store
- To promote this store, simply copy the URL of your Sugarcoat catalog channel and use this as a link to send people into your store.
Sell through checkout links
You can also sell your products through links. That doesn't sound all that impressive, but we're not talking about typical website product links, we're talking about links that will push your customers straight into the checkout process. We call these our checkout links and they are built to skip the noise that comes with websites such as repeating product information and adding products into a basket. If your customer know what they want, give them this link and remove all of the friction away from the customer journey.
To get your checkout links, simply;
- Head over to https://app.sugar-coat.io/products and choose the product that you'd like to grab the checkout link for
- When in the product, click on Actions and click on the copy icon next to Checkout link
- This will copy the checkout link to your clipboard ready for you to send onto your customer.
Sell through social media
We strongly believe that the best way to sell your products is via social media, through your own audience who already know and love what you do.
We have integrations with all leading social platforms which are integrated through the Channels section of the platform and will work by synchronising your products in Sugarcoat into your social platforms.
Given each social channel has a different setup from inside their platform, we have linked to the specific articles below:
