Ready to take your products to more places and boost sales? With Ecwid
By clicking a Buy Button, customers are instantly taken to the checkout with various payment options and shipping methods. Don’t quite like the design? Change the look to match your website aesthetic.
So, where exactly can you place a Buy Button? We’ve got a couple of ideas!
Sell on Your Homepage
If your homepage doesn’t have a storefront, you can add some of your products to this most popular page to sell them out faster. Products on the homepage might be:
- New arrivals
Best-sellers - Discounted products
- Seasonal offers
- Limited editions, etc.

Sell on a Sidebar
Would you like to keep your product visible no matter what page your customers are on? Place a Buy Button on the sidebar and it will always be visible while your customers browse your website.

Sell on Error 404 Page
Sometimes people will mistype your store URL or use an old, broken link (e.g. shared on social media) to access your store. Then they will see the error 404 page.
That page can scare your visitors: they might think your store no longer exists or that they are in a completely wrong place. In order to keep these fellows interested, you can:
- Design an error 404 page with your branded style
- Tell them what’s happened and share a link to somewhere else on your website, e.g. the homepage
- Place a Buy Button with a popular product.
Thus, you won’t lose your potential customer but arouse their interest to take further action.
Sell on Your Blog
Say you have a company blog and share a story of how you created your new collection. Guess what? You can add your products right in the article’s body to catch your customers while they are captivated by your story.
