Note: ShopFactory Cloud feature is ONLY applicable to ShopFactory Gold and Platinum Rental plans.
This feature allows you to add special products and integrate them in different media and platforms such as blog, existing website, Facebook, email, etc.
How to setup
- Open your shop in ShopFactory
- At the ShopFactory Central page, click on MY ORDERS button -> you will be redirected to the ShopFactory Cloud interface
- In ShopFactory Cloud backend interface, click on MY PRODUCTS to add/view the products that you want to integrate, http://app.santu.com/buynow/product

Adding a pop-up shopping cart to your existing ShopFactory shop:
=> Within the SF Cloud interface, click HOME menu -> My Sales Channels
http://app.santu.com/buynow/integrate
=> At the left menu, select "Use Buy now buttons and links"
Important: Add the script for pop-up shopping cart in your ShopFactory website (it can be added website-wide or on a page html).
This function allows customers to stay on your site when they add products to your shopping cart or search for a product.
Your pop-up shopping cart complies with pop-up rules and will NOT be blocked by pop-up blockers.
To make this work you must copy the pop-up shopping cart code and add it to your web-site or blog pages.
You can adjust the elements displayed in your pop-up or embedded store at Popup/Embed display.
In ShopFactory:
- Open your shop in ShopFactory
- At the left tree menu, create a page or go to the page where you want to integrate your ShopFactory Cloud products
- Double click on the page to open the Page Properties dialog
- Click on the "Add Custom Contents" at the left menu
- Click the + (add) button and then enter the html name and paste the actual script in the HTML content dialog
- You must select Area 3 or Area 4 at the Set Location field
- Then click OK

- Click on "Add paragraph" button and enter your Paragraph title
