What Is Sellfy?
Sellfy is an e-commerce platform that was launched in 2011. In the 13 years it has been operating, Sellfy has become the go-to platform for over 60,000 musicians, writers, filmmakers, and other creators.
Much like Shopify, Sellfy also allows you to sell physical and digital products, but it focuses more on digital products. The platform presents itself as a more affordable Shopify alternative that offers all the tools you need to run an online store – from a built-in email marketing tool to a generous digital product file size to an affiliate program.
If you’ve already set up your store with Sellfy, you know that, unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to create a blog. This is where DropInBlog comes into play.
Now, let me show you how easy it is to add a blog to a Sellfy store.
Prerequisites
Before you can start the integration process, make sure you have an active subscription to Sellfy’s Starter plan. This plan, as well as Sellfy’s higher-tier pricing plans, will allow you to add custom code to your store. And for the blogging part, you only need to sign up for DropInBlog’s free trial, and you’re good to go.
Once you check these requirements off your list, you can start the integration process.
Create a New Page
The first step is to add a page to your Sellfy site. We’ll use this newly created page for our blog.
To add a page, click the Store Settings tab, then select Customize Store on the right.
Selecting this option will open the page editor where you can add a new page.
Scroll the left-hand menu to the bottom, and click on Add Page.
Next, you should change the page title and URL to Blog in the menu on the left.
You should also delete the default page elements to get a clean page for your blog.
To delete an element, hover over it, then click the trash icon.
Add Two Lines of Code
The next step is to add the code from your DropInBlog account to the new blog page on your Sellfy store.
First, we need to add a module where we can paste the code.
To do that, click the Add module button on the page you created in Sellfy, then find the Embed code module and click on it to add it to your blog page.
After clicking the Embed code module, a new page will open.
Click on the Edit code button to access the module settings.
In the popup window, you should add the two lines of code from your DropInBlog account.
To do that, go to your DropInBlog admin dashboard, then select the Code & Layout tab.
Here, you’ll find the two lines of code you should copy, and then paste into the Embed Code module on your Sellfy blog page.
Click Copy code under Step 1, then paste this code into the popup window in Sellfy.
Return to your DropInBlog Code & Layout tab, repeat the step for the second line of code under Step 2, and paste it into the same popup window on Sellfy.
Once done, click Save to apply the changes.
You won’t see your blog posts in the page editor. You’ll have to publish the page first.
Click the green Publish button in the upper-right corner of the editor.
To view your blog, select View in Store in the upper-right part of the screen.
And just like that – you have successfully added a blog to your Sellfy store.
Now that your blog is all set up, we recommend going through our blog setup checklist to get some tips on fine-tuning and growing your blog.
FAQs
Can I add a blog to my Sellfy store?
Yes, Sellfy lets you embed third-party solutions like DropInBlog into your online store. This is possible with Sellfy’s custom code module, but you can also use Zapier to integrate your store with other tools you already use.
Can I use Sellfy for free?
You can use Sellfy for free but only for the duration of their free trial. After that, you’ll have to subscribe to one of the platform’s paid plans.
Is Sellfy better than Shopify?
That depends. If you’re just starting and want to sell digital products, Sellfy may be a better fit for you. Meanwhile, if you’re a growing business looking for an e-commerce platform with advanced features and a dedicated app store, Shopify might serve your needs better.
