EuroPlux seller guide: Store customization

In this page it will be explained how Sellers can configure their own stores on EuroPlux.com. We’ll start by showing how Sellers are adding the general information as well as other additional details about them.

Step 1

Once Seller logs into his admin panel https://europlux.com/vendor.php, Seller needs to click on their name displayed in the top left side, and then click on “Seller info”

 

Step 2

On the next page, under the “General” tab, Seller can add his details under the “Information” section. This Seller information will be displayed in the Seller store top info, (name, location and phone number), as well as the URL adders will be used on the Seller Contact page (full address, email address, phone number and web address). 

 

In addition to the Seller Information, under the “General” tab, euroPlux.com is adding another section called “Contact page” where Seller can add an embed Google Map indicating his location, as well as a ”Description” section where Seller can add any HTML text. The Google Map and “Description” will appear on the “Contact” page, of which link may be found in the Seller main menu.

 

Step 3

Under the “Logos” tab, Seller can add his logos for his store as well as for his invoices. We recommend using images that do not have empty spaces around the logo.

Step 4

Next, under the “Description” tab, Seller can add any HTML content describing his company, as well as offering information about his store, products, or anything else. EuroPlux.com is grabbing all of this HTML content and inserts it in an “About us” page of which link may be found in the main menu of the Seller store. 

 

Step 5

Under section “Product Page Quick Info”  each Seller has the possibility to add their own information and add their own content it the “Product Page Quick Info”. Each Seller will have his own custom information in the “Product Page Quick Info” blocks on their product pages. Also, Sellers may choose not to add any further information in the Quick Info Blocks, so Sellers will fill their info at least in the mandatory block.

 

Step 6

Sellers can add their profile links to the most important social sites: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Linkedin, Instagram, Pinterest. Buttons with these links will be displayed in the Seller store top info. If a field corresponding to a social site is not filled in by Seller, then the respective button will not be displayed.
