Template previews, site banners, and search

IronPeacockWork — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 01:50:18 GMT

1) I wanted to try and VIEW the available template options for various pages in my square site. I can't seem to find anything that lets me do that. This would save time in choosing how I want things to look.

2) I'd like to add a banner to my "shop all" > subsection page. Is this even possible on the free tier? I seem to be stuck on a retail format, without being able to add anything.

3) Why don't the forums have a search??? I have no idea whether what I'm asking has already been asked - I actually USE search if it's available.

1. When you say view available template options for various pages, I'm not sure if you mean to view the layout options? Try this... on your home page (squareup.com/dashboard), click the 3 lines for Home. A menu will pop up, click "Online" (it may be an icon or just a word that says "Online"... click Website > Edit Site, and from here you can go in and click on the various pages you have and change the layout. Is this what you're talking about?

2. When you say add a banner... can you elaborate?

3. The forums do have a search, it's right here... see below! 🙂

I want to add a banner on at least one particular shop category: face masks. For (I hope) obvious reasons, I want to be able to remind people that the ones I make are not medical grade.

Not really - I want to see what the different templates options will look like "when done", rather than fighting with the editing trying to do something before knowing if it's even possible. I tried looking for documentation that might explain but I kept getting lost. 😞
