Stories Enhancements

[Thevioletfox]

I'm curious to see how many people here use the "Stories" feature in Square Online? I've started using it as a blog, but am finding that it does not work for all posts. I run a bookstore and would love to do book recommendation lists, but the Stories only allow for one image, so I cannot include a picture of each recommended book.  I understand that we can connect an RSS feed, but I want to drive people to my Square website - not an external blog. Is anyone else using Stories in a more creative way that I might not be thinking about? Any cool workarounds I should know about?

Hi @Thevioletfox 

Great question! Yes, we use Stories too as a Product Guide, explaining how to use the product, followed by a Feature Items section where customers can click the product and purchase. 

You can add the Featured Items section to a Story by clicking the + Add Section on the left hand side, under Page Sections.

Hope this helps. Using Stories for a books recommendation list is an awesome idea. Great way to keep customers engaged!

This helps tremendously! Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed.  Seeing your example helped so thank you for including that link 🙂

Hi, @Thevioletfox! You should be able to add more sections to story pages. When editing your store, click on the "Add section" button on the left. You may also need to click on the "show more" link to show more section types.

I don't know how I missed this the first 10 times I created a story, but this is exactly what I was after. Thank you so much for the screenshot!

That's ok - it happens to all of us! 🙂
