If you invest in 30 minutes, I can show you how to get your site up and running. Before making final decisions your website's design or navigation, it's best to get some content loaded as soon as possible - even if you plan on changing it. If you follow this guide, you will have a working website when you're done. It won't be complete, but you will have a better understanding of the dashboard when you're finished. It's a good practice to load your content before you make final decisions on theme, colors and fonts to support your brand.
We want you to be successful from the very start.
Yay! Thanks for joining us. If you get stuck, please feel free to email support@indiemade.com.
Its first location (you can put it on a custom URL later) is yourname.indiemade.com. You can also get to it by logging in to your main account at http://www.indiemade.com/user and clicking on visit site.
The dashboard has two tiers of navigation. On the top tier is: Website, Design, Store, and Content. The second layer appears when you choose a top tier. You can return to your site by clicking on view site, in the upper left hand corner of the dashboard.
Under top tier choose Design. Select the theme, by scrolling, and pushing the radio button next to its name. Any theme will do, you can change it later. No big deal.
Don't forget to push Set Theme at the bottom of the page. You can change themes whenever you want -- no content or settings will be lost.
Next visit Design > Basics. Upload a graphical banner if you want, or leave blank. Do not wait if you don't have a banner; you will be able to add it later, whenever you want, and in the meatime your site's name will be displayed in text at the top.
Then select the fonts you'd like to start with.
Best to keep it simple and neutral. If you have a banner graphic and product shots loaded, you can use this to inform your final color and font decisions.
My suggestion to everyone: start out with a white background until you are ready to tweak it. I have made the mistake of adding too many colors so the website's design competes with the products I am trying to sell. Having done a number of websites, you can't ever go wrong with a white background. At least for now. Again, you can change this later.
Don't forget to save your work by pushing Save configuration at the bottom of this page. To see how your site looks now, just click on View Site.
Feel free to steal my colors. (By the way, the numbers and letters in the boxes are called "hex codes" for colors. Be sure to add a # before the color if you are copying it from another document.)
Please check out the next article - setting up your store.
This is just an overview on how to get started with your store.
Click on Store in the top tier navigation and then choose Settings from the secondary navigation. You need to provide a physical address.
If you enter the percentage of sales tax you want to collect, the IndieMade reports with be correct when accounting time rolls around.
Save configuration before moving on.
Don't let yourself be paralyzed by shipping decisions -- just put something reasonable in there for now. Like every other setting in your IndieMade store, you can change it whenever you like, so keep it simple to start. You can read more about shipping in our handbook.
Product categories are the sections of your store. If you have lots of products in obvious categories -- hats, mittens, and scarves, for example -- then add those categories now.
Now that your store basics are set up, you can add your first product. Click on Products from the secondary navigation, then on Add a New Product. You'll give a product title and a product description first. (Don't put your product pictures in the rich text editor for the description; you will be asked for images further down on the form.)
If you have a product image ready, click on Choose File and then locate the picture on your computer. Then add the rest of the product's details. Hold the control key (lower right corner of your keyboard) when selecting multiple categories.
Some indies get flustered when they're asked for a SKU. If you don't have SKUs, don't worry -- just make one up! It does help when you are talking to customers for each product to have a unique model number, even if it's as simple as "Blue Hat." Click Save to add the product to your store.
Now that you have a product on your site, there will be a link reading "Store" on your site.
(If you have an Etsy shop, you can download your products into a CSV file have each product created automatically. See this FAQ for how to do this.)
Next step...
Now let's add a blog post. Click on Content in the top navigation, and you'll see all the content types available to you. Let's just make a quick blog post to start: a tutorial on how to sew a stuffed bunny.
Click on Add a New Blog Post.
The create blog post form is pretty straightforward: give your post a title, optionally tag it, and then type the body of the post using the rich text editor.
The editor works just like any rich text editor. Type away, using the buttons to bold, headline, center, and so on.
To add a photo to your post, push the button that looks like a painting, and choose the "upload" tab.
Your upload screen looks like this:
Push Choose File and then locate the image on your computer. Push Send it to the Server and it will be uploaded to your website automatically. Then just save your image by pushing "OK."
Next step...just waitin' for ya!
Adding a Gallery to your site is just like adding anything else: select Content > Gallery from your dashboard.
Add an image Gallery to your website by clicking on the link "Add a new Gallery."
You should see the Gallery's description page. Do not add images into the rich text editor; we are only giving the title and gallery description here. Adding images will come after we save this information. Don't bother with tagging for now.
Find your newly created gallery on your list (you should have only one at this point) and click "Upload Images."
Now, for each photo you want to upload, push on Choose File and locate the image. Be sure each file is less that 3 MB in size -- but select the highest quality image you have. Your IndieMade site will automatically create different sized thumbnails from it. Read more about sizing photos in our handbook.
Choose thumbnail for gallery cover, arrange order as desired.
Next and final step in the Quick Start Guide!
When your IndieMade site is first built, it includes a generic "About Us" page for you. In this step we'll change that text, and add a new page.
Create a new page by clicking on "Add a New Page."
Add a title and description. The title you give here will be the link title on your navigation.
Don't strive for perfection yet. Just put 2 sentences in here. Don't forget "save" at the bottom of the screen.
Notice each page can appear in the primary or footer navigation of your website. I'll leave it in the footer; you can always go back to the main pages page and drag the cross symbol in the left-most column to reorder the pages.
That's it for our brief walkthrough. You can probably figure out the rest by trial and error, but you can always refer to the IndieMade handbook. There's a hyperlink to it in the lower right hand corner of your dashboard.
Are you ready to setup payment for your IndieMade site? If you still have days remaining in your trial, don't worry! You won't be charged until your free trial is over.
First, visit your account page. You can click here to visit your account or log in. Next, click the "Payment Information" tab.
.png)
This will take you to a page with a list of your sites where you can change plans and set up a payment. You may then add your credit card under the "Credit Card Information" section and then click "Update Credit Card". If you previously had your subscription set up using PayPal and want to switch to credit card, make sure to check the "Use Credit Card as the payment method for this site."
If you wish to use PayPal as the payment method, click the link that says "Pay using PayPal."
If you decided to pay using PayPal, you will be brought to this page. To add your PayPal account, click "Change" underneath your current plan. You will then be redirected to PayPal where you can start the subscription!
To make changes to your IndieMade site, you need to log in. Do this by visiting your site and clicking on log in in your site footer, often in the lower right hand corner. You'll see a form that looks like this:
(The form might look a bit different based on the theme of your site.)
Log in using your email address and your password.
If you've forgotten your password, you can have a reset link sent to you from the Request new password tab. Click on the tab and type in your email address.
You'll get an email with a one-time-only log in link that will log you into your site. Click the "Log In" button on this page.
And that will take you to your account editing page, where you can enter and confirm your new password.
Your site and www.indiemade.com are different sites. Although your password starts out the same on both, they don't have to stay the same! Changing your password on www.indiemade.com doesn't change your password on your site, and vice versa.
Click on dashboard at the bottom right of your site to visit the dashboard. When in the dashboard, click on view site to see your site how others will see it.
The top black bar of your dashboard gives primary navigation. Click on a main heading -- website, design, store, or content -- and the navigation in the blue bar underneath it will change. You can tell where you are by the different colors, but if you ever get disoriented, click on the IndieMade logo to go back to the dashboard home page.
From your site proper, you can get back to the dashboard by clicking on the link that reads "Dashboard", in your site's footer.
You can use the text editor to change formatting and html, add images and videos, set up tables and hyperlinks, and more for every website page and blog post.
Below is an overview of the text editing toolbar:
Most of the options are self-explanatory, but let's go over some of the finer points, shall we?
Insert Image
You can insert images almost anywhere on a page or blog post. For instructions, check out this page. Don't forget to familiarize yourself with our photo sizing tips, first.
Embed Media Content from Various Sites
You can use this feature to embed video directly into a page, blog post, event description, news item, gallery description, or product description. Easy, step by step instructions can be found right here.
Insert Teaser Break
A teaser break allows you to control the amount of text or images that will show up on a main site page. For instance, instead of showing all of your blog posts in their entirety on your blog page, you can insert a teaser break after the first few paragraphs of each post. Then the system will only show an excerpt of the posts on the blog page, with links to the full post. This allows site visitors to browse your posts more quickly.
How is a teaser break different from inserting a horizontal line? Simple: A horizontal line only divides a section of the page or post, but a teaser break controls the excerpts that appear on your main pages.
Anchor
Anchors make it easier to navigate longer pages by allowing you to link within the body of text. It's a lot like adding a hyperlink, but with one more step.
First, find the section of your page to which you'd like to link. Usually it's something important that a visitor might need to scroll down to see. Insert your cursor at the beginning of that section and click on the "Anchor" icon in the text bar. You'll get a box that asks you to name your anchor. Be sure to use something simple (preferably one word; do not use spaces) that easily identifies the section.
Next, you'll link to your anchor from elsewhere on the page (usually the beginning). You'll do this the same way you would create any hyperlink: Type the text to be linked, highlight it, and click on the "Link" icon. You'll type in the url of the page and add "#anchorname" to the end.
The website section includes information that helps in the branding and operation of your IndieMade site.
Click on the website tab and go under settings. Enter your basic information, including your site’s name (which will appear as the title of all web pages), your e-mail address, a slogan or tagline, and a footer message, if desired.
Select your local time zone in the Locale section.
To activate Google Analytics for your IndieMade site, enter your Web Property ID (it will be in the form of UA-xxxxxxx-yy) in the box under "Google Analytics" and hit the "Save Configuration" button. That's it! No need to enter any code, anywhere.
If you are using IndieMade's store feature -- if you're selling products, in other words -- you'll want to enable eCommerce tracking so that you get the most out of your usage data. Follow Google's instructions to turn on eCommerce tracking, but that's all you need to do: just turn it on. Your IndieMade site will automatically send sales information to Google for your later analysis.
(If you do not have a Google Analytics account, go to http://google.com/analytics and sign up for one. It's easy and the site will walk you through the process. You will probably want to enable ecommerce tracking in your profile, so you can analyze products and sales.)
Click the Save configuration button to finalize your changes.
This section explains how to use IndieMade's tools to improve your website's search engine visibility, how to link your site to other social sharing sites, and how to make it easy for your readers to tweet, post, and like your content.
Click on website and then on promote to get to the website promotion section.
If you have other "homes" on the web -- a Facebook page, a Twitter account, and so on -- you can automatically have links to these services added to your IndieMade site. Fill out the form and the links will be placed on every page of your IndieMade site.
An important part of driving traffic to your site is making it easy for people to share links back to your site. By checking the boxes for the social sharing sites you want to support, IndieMade will automatically create sharing buttons next to your blog posts, products, image galleries, and events, by integrating with the popular and powerful ShareThis service.
Check the boxes of those services you want to support -- but think twice before checking them all. A long list of sharing buttons can be intimidating and counter-productive. The More checkbox enables a green ShareThis icon, which can lead your readers to any of the dozens and dozens of services that share this supports.
Finally, if you have a ShareThis publisher key, you can optionally enter it into the box. This will enable you to access any of ShareThis's reports on how people are sharing your content.
Obviously, the easier it is for people to find your site on search engines like Google or Bing, the better it is for you. Contrary to popular belief, the world's search engines do not instantly know about every page on every website on the internet -- instead, they regularly spider sites to discover what pages are available. Huge sites get spidered throughout the day, but it may take weeks or months for small, new websites to get noticed.
Your IndieMade site can automatically create a sitemap of your site, and submit it nightly to Google and Bing. It's up to the search engines to decide when and how often they spider your site, but you can stack the deck in your favor just by checking the box:
If you have properly set up a custom URL for your IndieMade site, you'll want to use that URL in the sitemap.
Finally, you may be able to improve your ranking in search engines by providing meta keywords and a meta description for your home page. The description is what most search engines will display when they show your site on the search engine results page.
The following will show you how to control what photo and text appears when you share your website link to facebook or other social media.
In dashboard>website>promote, scroll to "Social Store Meta Tags".
Here is where you can add a title, additional description, as well as a photo that will be displayed when you share your website link.
Don't forget to click on Save configuration to save your changes.
Change the look and feel of your site using the Design section of your Dashboard.
Use the Design > Basics tab to change elements like your site banner; how your thumbnails are displayed; which fonts and colors to use; and so on.
Changes you make in this section never destroy the content of your site -- they just change the way your site content is displayed. And changes you make are specific to the theme you've selected, so if you change themes you can get an entirely different look.
This short seven minute video can help orient you to these features.
For more information on working with themes, see the Themes Tab help page.
Each image uploaded to your site to the store, gallery, or news section is automatically turned into a thumbnail for better navigation and faster loading times. You can change how the thumbnails look on your site using the Image Thumbnails section on the Basics tab of the Design page (Design > Basics).
The settings available include changing the thumbnail:
Use the menus to select the desired settings and then click Save configuration. Each thumbnail on the site will automatically be rebuild to the new settings.
Note: The settings set on this page will be saved to your site’s overall theme. If you change the theme these settings will change. Make sure to review the thumbnails on your site after you have made these changes to ensure the best look for your site.
You can change the background of your site from the Site Background section of the Design > Basics tab in your dashboard. You can choose a single color, select from a variety of abstract textures, or upload a custom image of your own. Select your choice from the style pulldown menu, and options specific to that choice will appear.
For Single Color, select your choice using the color selector, or type in your choice using hex value.
To select an abstract texture, choose Subtle Texture from the pulldown menu. Then select the texture you want from the Texture pulldown that appears. As you select different textures from the list, a small preview image will display your choice. All the textures provided "tile" seamlessly on your site, providing a uniform look.
If you want your site background to feature an image of your own design, use the Custom Image selection. To upload an image:
It is important that backgrounds load quickly for your site visitors, so there is a maximum size of 400K for your background images. If your image is too large, you can downscale it (to 1000 pixels wide, for example) and compress it (by saving for web or decreasing the jpeg quality). Our handbook page on photo sizing may be of help.
If your custom background is wider than 600px, it will automatically be stretched to fill the space in the browser.
If your custom background is 600px wide or less, it will be tiled to fill your site background.
Remember to push Save configuration at the bottom of the page to make your changes on this tab take effect.
The text on your site -- blog entries you post, product descriptions you write, the checkout form, and so on -- are displayed using a consistent font. You can change which fonts are used by using the Fonts section on the Basics tab of the Design page (Design > Basics).
The following fonts are available for use in IndieMade sites.
Today, do something you have wanted to do for years. Something just for yourself. And repeat this process once every month. To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. A man may fall many times but he will not be a failure until he says someone pushed him. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

Today, do something you have wanted to do for years. Something just for yourself. And repeat this process once every month. To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

Click Save configuration. The color will be applied to the site and saved to the theme selected.
If you want to reset the colors back to the theme default, simply click on Revert to defaults and then click Save configuration.

This section explains how to add, edit, delete, and reorder pages in your IndieMade website.
In your dashboard, go to the content tab and choose pages.
Shown here is a list of the current pages on your site. (Although every piece of content added to your site -- a blog post, or a product, or a news item, or whatever -- gets its own HTML page, the items you see in the pages section are the pages that can appear by themselves in navigation.) System-generated pages, like for your store or your galleries, appear in the list as well.
You can change the order in which the page links appear by dragging and dropping with the cross icon in the left-most column. You can also drag from one region to another -- for example, to move a page link from primary navigation to the footer, so it appears at the bottom of your site. If you don't want the page to appear in navigation at all, drag it down to the Do Not Display in Navigation region
To temporarily hide a page from the public, just click on the visible button all the way to the right. Click again to make it visible again.
Under each existing page are links to view the page on your site, edit the page to make changes, or even to delete the page.
If you still have room in your tier for new pages, a link reading Add a New Page appears at the top.
Enter your new page’s title in the box labeled title. Your page content should go into the box with the rich text editor.
Choose the navigation area in which you'd like your page to appear: the Primary Navigation is usually on the top, but sometimes on the side, depending on your theme; but footer is always at the very bottom. You can also elect for it not to appear in navigation at all (you might want this for confirmation pages for email signups or what have you).
All the way at the bottom, there's a tab reading Search Engine Optimization. Your IndieMade site will automatically create a <page> title, meta keywords, and a meta description for your page -- but if you want to override these with specific entries for SEO purposes you can do so here.
Click on Save to submit your edits. You can click cancel to throw away the changes you've made.
This short five minute video shows you how to create galleries and upload images to them. Further explanation of the feature is below
To add an image gallery to your site, navigate to content > galleries.
Click + Add a New Gallery; the Create Gallery box will appear.
Enter your gallery’s name in the Title box and any tags in the Tags box. If you’d like to add any extra information about your gallery, type it into the Description box. But don't add your gallery images to the description; you'll do that later.
Click the “Save” button at the bottom, and you'll see your new gallery shown in the galleries list:
You're ready to populate your new gallery with images. Click Upload Images under your new gallery and the page Upload Images will appear. Use the Choose File buttons to browse your computer and select images for your gallery (you can upload up to five images at a time). Click the Submit Images button to upload the images to your gallery.
After the images have uploaded, you will be able to rename or caption them, as well as click and drag to arrange them in a different order. You can also delete an image by checking the box on the far left under the “Delete” column. To choose a cover image, just select the radio button next to the image in the left.
Click the “Save” button to affect your changes.
If you would like a gallery image to have the ability to redirect the page, simply paste the desired URL into the URL box beside the photo (as shown above). This is often used to direct users to the product page on your IndieMade site of the given image, however you may redirect it to any desired page.
Your IndieMade site will take care of the rest, including building thumbnails, generating navigation, and so on.
Start a discussion -- post to your site's blog to share your work and experience with others. Your readers can leave comments or share links to your blog posts on the social networks they use.
In your dashboard, go to the content tab and choose blog. You'll see a list of the current posts on your site. Blog postings are displayed in reverse chronological order on your site, so the most recent postings appear at the top.
Under each existing post are links to view the post on your site, edit the post to make changes, or even to delete the post. Any tags you've assigned to the post appear in the second column.
The number of comments your readers have made appear in the next-to-last column. Any new comments -- that is, comments made since you last logged on -- are called out in parentheses.
To temporarily hide a post from the public, just click on the green visible checkmark all the way to the right. It will turn into a red icon, signifying that it's not publicly visible. Click it again to toggle it back to visible.
At the very top of this page is a command link reading Add a New Blog Post. Click it and the Create Blog Post screen will appear. Enter your posts’s title in the Title box and any tags you want in the Tags box. (What tags you use, if at all, is entirely up to you. Your readers will be able to use these tags to find related posts, so most people use tags to categories their posts in ways that are meaningful to them.)
Type your post into the Body box. Click the “Save” button at the bottom to publish to your IndieMade blog.
Blog Preview Image
On our new themes you have the ability to upload a preview image that will be used on the blog list page, as well as the top of the blog post. This only applies to the new blog layout for those themes. If you had the theme before the new blog layout was added, simply switch to another theme and then back.
Blog Publishing Options
Normally, a blog post is visible to the public as soon as you submit the form. However, you can save your posting as a draft, or even schedule the post for publishing later.
The private option saves your work, but does not make it visible to the public until you explicitly publish it.
To schedule a post for publishing in the future, select the Schedule post option. Two elements, for date and time, will appear beneath it. Simply select when you want to publish the post and push Save. (You may want to review your site's time zone configuration, in website > settings, to make sure it's set correctly.)
Your IndieMade site will automatically format your post in ways that are friendly to search engines, including creating meaningful URLs, creating a meta description from the body of the post, using the tags as meta keywords, and so on. But if you want more control, you can use the SEO box to make changes as you see fit.
On the dashboard blog posts page, there is a Administer comments tab. This allows you to delete comments on your blogs, or submit them as spam.
By default, comments do not require approval. If you wish for comments on your blogs to require approval, navigate to Design > Basics and check "Require comment approval". When enabled, new comments will instead appear in the approval queue instead. You may also uncheck "Enable blog comments" to disallow blog comments altogether.
Visitors to your blog can make comments on what they read. Being part of a conversation with others about your work can help drive traffic to your site.
However, sometimes commenters are unwelcome visitors. In particular, spam comments are a common scourge of indepentent site owners. In order to drive traffic to their site, or to score commissions on sales made on other sites, some people write comments that are only vaguely relevant to the topic at hand, but include lots of links to other locations.
Your IndieMade site has two components that help prevent spam comments automatically:
Only comments that pass both those filters appear on your site.
When you are logged in to your IndieMade site, you can administer each individual comment using the command links within it.
Click on Edit to change the comment (for example, to remove profanity or to fix broken formatting). The Delete command removes the comment forever.
The Submit spam button deletes the comment and sends it to TypePad AntiSpam. By doing this, you help the community of AntiSpam users get better results.
If you prefer, you can administer more than one comment at a time. From your blog page, click on the command Administer Comments to bring up the bulk administering screen.
Sort the available comments by clicking on a column header -- by default, the most recent comment is shown first.
Check the boxes of those comments you want to act on, or click on the box in the header to select all. Then, you can choose whether you want to submit those comments as spam, or simply delete them, with the update dropbox. Push Update to take the action.
To disable blog comments completely, navigate to Design > Basics and uncheck Enable blog Comments
Every IndieMade site comes with a fully integrated, sophisticated shopping cart. This section of the handbook explains how it works -- but don't be intimidated. You don't have to use every feature if you don't want to.
Visit the links below for a step-by step guide on how each feature of your store works.
From your dashboard, click on the store tab and then go to settings to manage the basic properties of your store.
In the first section, you enter basic information about your store.
The store name, store owner, and email address can appear on invoices and email notifications to your customers.
(The country dropdown is populated with only those countries that have already been enabled for your store. For new stores, only the United States and Canada appear here. If your country doesn't appear, you need to turn on that country by visiting the shipping settings section. You can read about how to do this in the shipping section of this handbook.)
You can change the currency, invoice message, and inventory behavior from the general settings section.
The you choose specifies what currency your products are denominated in. You can choose any of the following currencies for your store:
All products shown on your site will be displayed in that currency. Your customers can pay with whatever currencies they normally use, and PayPal or 2Checkout will automatically convert the total into your currency. (For example, if you charge 50 Euro for a product, a customer in the United States will still be able to pay in US Dollars, at an up-to-date rate.)
Note: changing your currency doesn't change the price values automatically, just the currency in which they're denominated. So if you have a product costing 100 USD and change your currency to JPY, that product will now cost 100 JPY. You'll want to make adjustments appropriately.
When your customer purchases products on your site, she will be sent an invoice via email. You can customize the notice that appears at the bottom of the invoice by changing it here.
If you track stock for some or all of your products, you can specify what happens when that product sells out:
Of course, you can always manually hide or show a product using the visible column in your products list.
Everything you want to sell on your IndieMade site -- a piece of jewelry, a painting, a PDF download, even access to a course you teach -- is represented by a product. You can add, edit, or delete products whenever you like.
Visit the links below for details on how to work with products.
To begin adding your products, go to store > products. You can add products one at a time, or in bulk by uploading a spreadsheet.
Click on +Add a New Product. The Create Product page will appear. Enter your product’s Name and Description, making sure you enter as many details as you can for your customers.
Under Categories, choose the category (shop section) under which your new product falls. Visit the Categorizing Your Products handbook page for more information on how to set up your categories.
Upload an Image by clicking the “Choose File” button and browsing your computer; click “Upload” to upload your file. To add more than one image, hit the “Add another Image” button.
You can add as many images for your product as is allowed under your tier of service. (If you can see the Add another Image button, then you can add another.)
Order your images by dragging the crosshair next to each thumbnail. The image at the top will be your product's "primary" image, which will appear on the store and category pages.
Under Product information, you will enter a SKU number (a number or word you will use for your own records and identification of your products, like P40-3 or BUNNY) as well as the price of the item. Each SKU must be unique.
If the shipping rate for the item is different from the defaults you set earlier (see the Working with Shipping handbook page for more information on setting your defaults), click on Shipping Rate to expand the section and enter a new rate for this item.
If you have a limited quantity of your item on hand, or your item is one-of-a-kind, you may want to track your stock of your new product and avoid double-selling a unique item. Visit the Using Inventory Control handbook page to learn more about how this feature works.
If your tier of service supports it, you can attach downloadable electronic files to your product listing in the Downloads section. Visit the Selling Downloadable Files handbook page for more information on IndieMade's downloads feature.
If you'd like to add keywords to your listing to help your store come up more frequently in Google searches, you can add them in the Search Engine Optimization section.
Click the “Save” button to save all changes and to publish your product to your store.
You may want to add products in bulk, most commonly when you're first setting up your store. To do this, you'll need a CSV file containing a list of your products. Nearly all spreadsheet programs can create CSV files, and many systems export them as well.
The columns that are expected in your spreadsheet are:
When you submit the spreadsheet, your IndieMade store will create a new product for each row in your spreadsheet, and will download each of the images to make local copies.
Only title, description, and price are required.
A sample blank CSV file is attached to this document to get you started.

This five minute video provides an overview of IndieMade's product categorization system. Further details are below.
Organize your products by using the Store Categories section at the bottom of the Store > Settings page.
You can create an unlimited amount of product categories (e.g. "Vintage") or sub-categories (e.g. "Vintage Artwork").
Product categories will appear on your site listed as Store Sections (shown above) and as tags beneath the description of your product.
See the information below to:
The new category appears at the top of the Category List.
Note: Categories only appear on your store’s page if they have products assigned to them.
You can place each product into one or many categories or subcategories.
To place a product into a category, first navigate to the Store > Products page on your Dashboard and click the Edit link for the desired product.
In the Categories list box, select one or more categories. Hold the Ctrl button on your keyboard to select multiple categories.
Click Save. The product's individual page updates to show the new category assignment(s), and the product appears on your store’s page when the category is selected.
To change how the categories are listed on your store's page, navigate to the Store > Settings page on your dashboard and click Manage Product Categories in the Product Categories section.
Click and drag the 
symbol next to the desired product up or down to reorder the category.
The changes to the category order are saved automatically.
To make a category a subcategory, first navigate to the Store > Settings page on your dashboard, and click Manage Product Categories in the Product Categories section.
Click and drag the
symbol next to the desired product below and to the right of the desired parent category.
Use the Search Engine Optimization area to help your customers find your products.
The Page Title, Meta Keywords, and Meta Description fields help search engines such as Google and Bing to find and display your site near the top of the search results when your customers search for matching terms. For example, if your customers regularly search for “Vintage Furniture” adding “Vintage Furniture” to the Meta Keywords can help to increase your search engine ranking.
Enter information into the fields described below and click Save to enable this feature.
Tip: Be descriptive, but concise. Keep the title to no more than 70 characters.
You can enable automatic alphabetical sorting for your sidebar.
To do so, in your dashboard, navigate to Store > Advanced Settings and check "
You can make any product in your store temporarily invisible to shoppers.
To deactivate an item and make it invisible, log in to your site and go to store > products. At the far right of each product listing you will see a "Visible" column. The green check mark shows that the items are visible to shoppers.
Click on any green check mark, and it will change to a red X.
Your items are now invisible to shoppers, but visible to you, and your listings are still available to you to edit. To reactivate a product and make it visible to shoppers, click the red X, and it will change back to a green check mark.
Customers have the option of chosing product quantity at checkout; they may also have the option of selecting the quanity before they even select add to cart. To add a quantity box in product description, simply check quantity box in dashboard>store>advanced settings.
You have an additional option to customize the set quantity of individual products. You may do this by going to dashboard>store>products, and selecting edit option under the product you'd like to edit. Next, under the product information dropdown menu, you have the option of setting the default quantity.
If this is set to one, one product will be added to cart when they select add to cart and it will look something like this:
.PNG)
If you have default quantity set to one, and do not have the quantity box option delected in advanced settings, the quantity box will not be displayed but the set quantity of one will automatically be added to card when they push add to cart.
Setting the default quantity to zero will disable the additional quanity box for that product.
Don't forget to save after any changes!
If you want to make the same change to multiple products at a time, you can edit your items in bulk. This short four minute video shows you how. Further information is below.
First, go to your products page under Store > Products, and select the items you want to edit. You can save some time by using the “Select All” checkbox in the upper left hand corner, and uncheck products as needed.
Next, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select “Edit Selected Products In Bulk”.
The next page will show you the available bulk editing options.
When you need to enter a specific value (ex. Set Price), a blank field will appear as shown.
When you’re ready to make the change, click Submit.
You should now see a message in green telling you that the products have been processed.
You may sort products in your store by price, or by name.
To access your products, first go to dashboard>store>products.
To sort products by name, simply click Product Name.
This will automatically alphabetize your products.
If you click it a second time, it will do the reverse, and products will rearrange from "z" to "a."
To save your newly sorted products, click on Save current sort order in the upper right hand corner, (as shown below).
If you'd like to sort products by price, follow the same steps.
Once you have clicked Save current sort order, a cross arrow will appear to the left of the product. From here, you can manually drag items
and change the order. Changes made by dragging items manually will automatically save.
Final sorting order in dashboard should reflect order of products in your shop.
Do you have a limited quantity of a product available for sale? Do you sell one-of-a-kind creations or vintage finds? You can use the inventory control feature to set the number of each product that you have in stock, so that you never accidentally sell more than you have on hand.
Inventory control is completely optional. You don't need to specify the quantity of each product that you have in your store. However, if you don't enter a quantity for an item, then it will stay in your store and remain available for purchase, even if it's sold — and customers can order an unlimited quantity of that product.
To set the quantity of a product, log into your Dashboard and go to store > products. Click "Edit" for the product whose quantity you want to set.
Scroll down to the "Stock" section and check the "Track Stock for This Product" box. Type the quantity you have available in the "Quantity on Hand" field, and click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
When your item sells, the inventory control feature will subtract the number of items ordered from the total quantity that you set.
When your product's stock falls to zero, the product will show as Sold Out in your store, and customers won't be able to buy it. If you mark an order as returned or cancelled, the stock is returned to that product, so it will be available for sale again.
If you don't want your out-of-stock items to appear in your store, you have two options.
First, you can simply deactivate them. To make a product invisible to shoppers, go to store > products and click the green check mark next to the product in the "Visible" column at right. The green check mark will change to a red X, and the product won't show up in your store until you make it visible again by clicking the red X.
Or, you can have the store automatically deactivate them for you. To do this, visit your store settings page at store > settings and select the Do not display product option under When Sold Out:
When a customer purchases goods from you on your IndieMade store, she needs to checkout before the order is finalized. At checkout the customer is asked how she would like to pay for the order by selecting an option from a list presented to her.
Once the customer has paid for the order, the order is placed into the Payment received state and emails are generated for the customer and for the site owner.
You can turn on and off the available payment options from the store > payments section of the dashboard. Each payment option is described in its own section below.
If you want to accept payments through PayPal, enable it as an option from the store > payments section of your dashboard.
New sites are automatically set up for payment through PayPal, with the email address given. If you want funds to go to a different account, you can specify the other account here.
When the customer checks out and selects PayPal as the payment option, the order will be placed into the Pending state, and the customer will be redirected to the PayPal site for completion of the order.
Customers do not need to have a PayPal account in order to pay. They can also pay with credit or debit cards.
When the customer completes the payment, PayPal's servers send your IndieMade site a message (called an Instant Payment Notification, or IPN) informing it of the sale. On receipt of this message, the order is placed into the Payment received state, and the order is ready to be processed.
On IndieMade payment information has always been secure through PayPal or 2Checkout payment processing services. As IndieMade adds more payment processors through direct checkout an SSL secured certificate is required. We also understand the importance of your customers perceptions that if they do not see the secured icon in your browser they may be warry of checking out. You also get a slight ranking boost from Google as a way to encourage you to install an SSL Certificate. We are now happy to announce that we offer SSL Certificates for custom domains and your IndieMade URL free of charge! So let's get started.
Note: Secure certificates are automatically installed in the mornings Pacific Time so check back in the afteroon or the next day to see if your certificate was installed. To test your certificate your domain making sure you add https as the protocol example: https://www.yourdomain.com. If everything went swimmingly you should see the lock icon in your browsers location bar. You can now continue configuring your new certificate.
Once Installed you will need to make sure you do not have mixed content. Mixed content are resources linked in from other insecure sites... this includes images, javascripts, iframes etc. You can tell if you have mixed content on a page as the padlock icon will be replaced with an info icon or you may also get a warning from the browers. Also if you have mixed content Google will not index your site as secure. You can visit each page making sure that each one is secure (green padlock) or you could also this cool tool https://www.jitbit.com/sslcheck/ which tells you which pages and exactly what content is not secured.
For the most part it is usually a matter of changing the insecure content by adding an "S" to the http of the offending URL ie https://groups.google.com you will find that most sites do have a secure URL. This can be a daunting task so if you need help simply open a support ticket and we will be happy to assist.
Once your certificate has been installed and you have checked your site for mixed content you can now force all your visitors to use your new SSL certificate. This will redirect any unsecure urls to your secured url.
If successful you should not be able to visit your insecure domain. You can always uncheck this if you find mixed content errors later.
If you have a custom domain your really don't need your IndieMade URL but it still exists if there is a problem with your custom domain. You can redirect all traffic from your IndieMade domain to your secure domain.
Note: You will still be able to login and use the admin pages through your IndieMade URL if needed.
If you do not have a custom domain you can still enable SSL on your IndieMade domain. This setting will redirect all traffic to your secured IndieMade URL (ie https://yoursitename.indiemade.com).
To enable your SSL on your IndieMade URL
Even though Google should quickly start indexing your SSL pages automatically if you use Google Search Console it is a good practice to add your secure site as a new property.
If you would like to use direct checkout we are currently offering Stripe on a per request basis. You are required to already have a Stripe account activated for purchasing. Direct Checkout will allow your customers to securely enter their credit card information on your site without having to go through a third party checkout system (PayPal or 2Checkout).
Good luck with your new SSL! We hope that it boosts your customer confidence and increases Google ranking (slightly).
To get started, you'll need an active Square account. Until further notice, IndieMade support will need to enable this payment method for you. Once Square has been enabled on your account you can proceed with the setup.
You will also need to enable SSL in your dashboard Secure Certificates. (Secure Certificates are now included at no extra charge with your IndieMade subscription.)
To setup Square go to the store > payments section of your IndieMade dashboard and enable the payment gateway for use.
You will need to generate new application keys which can be done in your Square Dashboard. You can create your application keys on Square by navigating to Apps > My Apps and clicking on "Go to Developer Portal". Once there, click "New Application". It will ask you to input an application name, this can be whatever you want, but we recommend you name it "IndieMade" so that you can remember.
After giving it a name and clicking "Create Application", you will be redirected to a page with new application credentials. You will want to paste both the Application ID and the Personal Access Token in their respective fields under the Square Gateway settings.

It is very important that you test your Square Payment to make sure that everything is setup correctly.
Unfortunately, Square sandbox credentials are for development purposes and unlike Stripe they can't be used to cause test orders to appear in your Square dashboard.
What you can do, however, is use a live credit card to purchase a small item in your store. We often test with a temporary product with a low price. You can refund the card via your Square Dashboard.
IndieMade now offers the Stripe payment method which, unlike PayPal and 2Checkout, is a direct checkout method. That means your customers don't have to leave your site to finish a transaction.
To get started, you'll need an active Stripe account and Stripe enabled on your site. To enable Stripe on your site, navigate to Website > Settings and check "Enable Stripe".
You will also need to enable SSL in your dashboard Secure Certificates. (Secure Certificates are now included at no extra charge with your IndieMade subscription.)
To setup Stripe go to the store > payments section of your dashboard and enable the payment gateway for use.
You will need a total of 4 API keys which can be found by logging into your Stripe Dashboard. You can find your API keys on Stripe under the left menu 'Developers > API Keys" To find your test keys click the 'View Test Data' in the upper right of the API keys page.

It is very important that you test your Stripe Payment to make sure that everything is setup correctly.
In your IndieMade Stripe setting click the "Test Mode" checkbox. A common mistake when testing in test mode is using LIVE credit cards, you must use a test credit card number. You can find the full list of test credit card numbers on the Stripe website. For your convenience we have provided one below:
Visa test number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
Expires: "Any date in future"
CVC: 123
We also highly recommend running a live test when you are ready to go. Simply unclick the "Test Mode" box and use a live credit card to purchase a small item in your store. We often test with a temporary product with a low price (minimum for Stripe is $.50). You can refund the card via your Stripe Dashboard.
If you want to accept credit card payments through 2Checkout.com on your IndieMade site, you need to:
If you do not already have an account, you must sign up with 2Checkout before you can start accepting payments through it. It can take several days for their underwriting team to approve your account.
NOTE: It is important that you give the URL of your IndieMade site when signing up. (If you are using a custom URL, you can use that.) 2Checkout's servers will not properly notify your IndieMade site of payments received if the URL does not match.
Log into your account at 2Checkout. Visit Account > Site Management. Then, make sure that the account’s Demo setting is set to either Off or Parameter.
Under the Checkout Settings section on the same page, under Direct Return, make sure that Header Redirect (Your URL) is selected. Then change your Secret Word to a word of your choosing (Tango is a bad choice, as it is the default for all new accounts), and make note of it.
Then make note of your account number. You can get your account number by clicking on the person icon in the upper right hand corner of your 2Checkout control panel.
The final step in enabling payment with 2Checkout is to configure your IndieMade store. Visit the store > payment section of your dashboard and open the 2Checkout fieldset.
Be sure that the account ID and secret word that you use are exactly correct. In addition, the site URL must match the URL you gave 2Checkout on signup.
When a customer checks out using 2Checkout, she will be redirected to their servers to complete the transaction. When payment has been received, 2Checkout's servers will send your IndieMade site notification of the completion, and the order will be set to Payment Received. This notification will come to the URL you gave, with the account ID and secret word. If those elements don't match, then your IndieMade site will not be notified of the succesful payment.
If you are willing to let customers send you a check or money order as payment, enable it in your dashboard by visiting store > payments and opening the Check or Money Order fieldset.
Whatever instructions you give to your customers in this setting will be shown to them at checkout, and displayed on the invoice that is sent by your IndieMade site.
When the order is placed, both you and your customer will be notified by email about the order. However, it will remain in Pending state until you, the site owner, marks the check as having been received. To do this, visit your dashboard and view the order page by navigating to store > orders. Click on the view order button (the magnifying glass) to see order details. Then click on Receive Check.
In the final screen, enter the total amount collected and any notes associated with the payment.
When the full balance has been collected from the customer, then the order will be set to the Payment received state.
It is important to note that, unlike the other payment options, paying by check or money order is likely to take at least several days to close out. Because of this, actions that your IndieMade site takes when the order is paid for will be delayed: in particular, inventory levels will not be adjusted, and downloads will not be made available to your customers. If that doesn't work for your particular case, you should either (a) not accept checks or money orders, or (b) manually adjust the inventory or downloads when the order is first placed, understanding that these steps will have to be reversed should the order fall through.
Your IndieMade store automatically calculates shipping costs, and collects those costs from your customers, based on the settings you provide.
The following pages describe in more detail how shipping on IndieMade works.
Your IndieMade store automatically calculates shipping costs based on the products in the customer's cart, the countries to which they're being shipped, and the settings you provide.
Shipping costs are defined by two prices:
By making the With Another cost lower, you grant customers a discount for shipping when they combine products into the same order.
If you don't want to give a shipping discount when the customer buys more than one, just enter the same value for both the By Itself and the With Another costs. If you want to charge the same fee no matter how many products are purchased, just enter zero for the With Another cost. And of course if shipping is free, just use zero in both elements.
You can set different costs for different countries, to account for differing international shipping rates. And you can create as many shipping profiles as you like, if you sell products that have different characteristics.
Examples of Combined Shipping
As an example, let's say your IndieMade site sells bowling balls, t-shirts, and paperclips. You might set up three different shipping profiles:
Given these definitions, how much would it cost your buyer to purchase items in various shopping carts?
If products in different shipping profiles are in the same cart, the most expensive product is counted as "first" and all other products as "additional." So for example, a cart consisting of a bowling ball and ten t-shirts would cost $25 to ship: $10 for the bowling ball, plus $15 for the ten t-shirts at $1.50 each.
Some stores carry products of radically different size or weight. By setting up different Shipping Profiles, you're able to charge the right amount to ship every kind of product you sell.
This three-minute video gives a brief overview of how to set up shipping profiles.
A shipping profile is simply a list of countries to which you'll ship, and the rates to charge customers for products when shipping to those countries. From your dashboard, navigate to store > shipping. You'll see a list of the shipping profiles that are available in your store.
The name and description of each shipping profile are private to you; your customers will never see them. In the Shipping To column you'll see a summary of the destinations that have been enabled for that profile. The Products column shows a count of the products that are currently using that shipping profile.
When you first create your site, you get a default shipping profile called Standard, configured for free shipping to the United States and Canada. To create a new shipping profile, click on + Add a New Shipping Profile. The Create Shipping Profile screen will appear.
Fill out the form with the name and description of your profile and submit the form. Note that the name and description are not shown to your customers; they are only for you, to make it easier for you to manage your shipping profiles.
To delete a shipping profile, simply click on the Delete link under the name of the profile. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
Every shippable product must be assigned a shipping profile, so If there are any products using the shipping profile you want to delete, you'll have to identify which shipping profile they should be assingned to by selecting it from the dropdown box.
You must have at least one shipping profile in your store, so you cannot delete your last shipping profile.
To have a Shipping Quote Table under your product description, in your dashboard navigate to Design > Basics. Under your theme's settings, check "Show shipping quote table on product details".
A shipping profile is a group of countries and their corresponding shipping rates. To change the countries and rates for a shipping profile, from your dashboard visit store > shipping and then click on Rates underneath the name of the shipping profile you want. You will be taken to the Rates and Destinations screen for that profile.
At the top of the screen you will see a short table of rates for your most common destinations. This list includes your home country, plus the top four or five destinations as calculated from your order history.
To change the rates for a country, simply click on Edit on the right-most column.
By default, a new IndieMade site offers shipping only to the United States and Canada. To enable shipping to different countries, scoll to the bottom of the Rates and Destinations page to see a list of continents.
This table displays the name of the continent, number of countries in the content, and a summary of the countries to which you are shipping for this profile. In this example, shipping has been enabled for Canada, Mexico, and the US only.
To change the countries you ship to, click on Edit for the continent you want to edit. You will see a list of countries for that continent.
Every country in the continent you picked are displayed in this table. If a country isn't enabled -- that is, if a customer cannot select it as the ship-to address in the checkout process -- then the country name will appear in italiics, and there will be no prices shown under By Itself or With Another. If a country is enabled, its name will appear in normal text, and the shipping rates will be shown.
To edit the rates for a specific country, or to enable or disable that country, click on the Edit link in the right-most column.
To edit the rates for a number of countries at once, or to enable or disable a number of countries at once, check the appropriate boxes in the left-most column, then click on the Edit selected countries button at the bottom of the form.
To edit the rates for all countries in a continent, or to enable or disable all the countries in that continent at once, check the box in the left-most field of the table header.
Alternatively to setting up your own shipping rates, you can enable calculated shipping through USPS.
To install Calculated Shipping, first navigate to Website > Settings, and check "Enable Calculated Shipping"
Once it is installed on your site, you will need to create a Calculated Shipping Profile. Navigate to Store > Shipping and click "Add a New Shipping Profile". Give it a name, description, and check "Calculated Shipping". Just like any other shipping profile, you will need to set the available destinations.
Once you have created your Calculated Shipping Profile, you can assign it to a product the same way as a normal product. However, you must also give your product a weight and size under the "Shipping" section of the product edit page. (Note: These fields only appear if a calculated shipping profile is chosen) The Store default for "Default product shipping type" is "Small Package", but if you are shipping your product in a envelope, you will want to change that. When shipping a product in an envelope, "Width" is the thickness of the envelope.
To configure your calculated shipping, navigate to Store > Shipping > Calculated shipping settings. Here, you can add your own modifiers to the shipping cost.
To edit a specific shipping rate or rates, you need to navigate to it in your dashboard, as described in the Rates and Destinations page.
Once you've navigated to the right place, you will see a screen like the following:
The By Itself and With Another values specify how much shipping charges you want to collect from your customers when they buy products in this shipping profile. The first product is charged at the By Itself rate, and subsequent products are charged the With Another rate. You can read more about how these rates work in the How Shipping is Calculated handbook page.
If you check the Enable Shipping box for a country or group of countries, then customers can select that country as a destination in the checkout form.
If you uncheck the Enable Shipping box, then products in this profile cannot be shipped to that country.
So long as a country is enabled in at least one shipping profile, it will appear as an option in the shopping cart checkout page. Be sure to make appropriate edits to all shipping profiles if you want to stop offering shipping to a specific country.
When editing the shipping for Canada, you can apply different shipping costs for certain provinces. Under the regular shipping details, click "Canadian Provinces" to edit the shipping costs per province.
You can enable free shipping for products that are over a certain cost. To do so from your dashboard, navigate to Store > Advanced Settings and then check "Enable free shipping by minimum". Underneath that, you may enter the minimum cost to qualify for free shipping.
You can also limit free shipping to certain countries. Let us know if there is a country you want on the list!
IndieMade now supports integration with ShipStation, a paid third party service for managing shipping orders and printing shipping labels. This integration sends orders on your IndieMade site over to ShipStation so you can create Shipping Labels and manage them from there.
As this feature is in beta, you will need to contact IndieMade Support to install the necessary data on your IndieMade site.
Once support has installed the necessary data, visit your ShipStation dashboard.
On ShipStation, go to your account settings, and navigate to Selling Channels > Store Setup. Once there, click "Connect a Store".
Next, find "Custom Store" in the list or type it into the searchbox. Once selected, you will need to enter the correct URL, as well as your IndieMade username and password. The correct URL is your IndieMade site URL, followed by /shipstation.
For example: http://www.myindiemadestore.indiemade.com/shipstation
Do not adjust the order status fields. At this point, you may click "Test Connection", and if it is successful, click "Connect".
If you created a new IndieMade site before June 13 2014, your site may be using an older, less sophisticated shipping model.
The older model, as documented in this handbook page, consists of a base shipping rate and per-product shipping rate that you can set for each country. You can override the per-product rate on a product by product basis, but you can't set per-product overrides for specific countries.
The new shipping model, as described in this handbook page, both simplifies the model and gives you more flexibility. It consists of:
You'll want to migrate to the new model at your earliest opportunity, so you can start benefitting from it. This short page describes how to do this.
Log into your dashboard and visit the store > settings page. If you are using the old shipping model, you will see an alert message at the top of your screen that looks like this:
If you do not see this message, you are using the new model and you can stop reading this page.
Click on the link migrate to the new Combined Shipping model from your store settings page. You will be taken to a confirmation screen. Click on Migrate to start the automatic migration process. It should take only a minute or two to complete the migration. You will not lose any data when you migrate to the new model.
When the migration has completed, you will be taken to the new shipping profiles screen.
In the old model, you specified shipping rates by country. Each country had a base rate (a rate that was charged for each order) and a default per-product rate (applied to each product in the order). The automatic migration will create a new shipping profile, Standard, with the same rates for the same set of countries.
Imagine, for example, that your shipping rule for Mexico was a base rate of $5 and a per-product rate of $2. The migration process will create a new rule for Mexico, with a By Itself cost of $7 and a With Another cost of $2. The results for both models are the same:
Then, a new shipping profile is set up for every per-product override you have in the old model, and the products are automatically configured to use that new shipping profile.
For example, imagine that in addition to the defaults described above, you have three products that have per-product overrides of $0.50. In this case the migration process will create a new shipping profile called $0.50 Products. Shipping to Mexico for this profile will have a By Itself cost of $5.50 and a With Another cost of $0.50. The results for both models are the same:
After the migration is complete, you may wish to edit the shipping profiles that were created, or perhaps even delete existing shipping profiles to merge them with others. Use the existing editing screens to do this.
Just open a support ticket with your specific questions and we will try to help you.
Your IndieMade store automatically calculates shipping costs, and collects those costs from your customers, based on the settings you provide.
Every order placed through your IndieMade store has a shipping charge composed of two separate components:
You can set your own base rate and default product rate for every country you ship to, in the store > settings section of your dashboard. If you need to charge a different product rate for a specific product, you can set that in the product edit form.
Let's take an example: a store that sells bowling balls, t-shirts, and paper clips. The base rate for this store is set at $2.00, and the default per-product rate is $2.00. Bowling balls are heavy, so they have a special product rate of $10.00 each. Paper clips are light, so they cost just a penny each to ship. In this case:
You can also set the product rate to 0 if your base rate covers your entire shipping cost and you don't want customers to incur additional shipping charges with each item they add to their orders. This works especially well if the products you sell are lightweight so that additional items do not raise your shipping expenses.
You can set up different base rates and default product rates for each country that you ship to.
Log into your dashboard and navigate to store > settings. A bit down the page is the shipping section, which includes a list of the most common destinations for your site:
In this list you'll find the United States and Canada -- plus the country that your store is based in and some popular destinations for orders that you've already shipped. The active base rate, and the default product rates, are shown. To make changes, simply click on the edit link and make the changes you want.
By default your IndieMade site is set up only for the United States and Canada. If you ship to other countries, it's easy to set up your IndieMade store to properly calculate shipping. A bit further down the page is a list of the seven continents.
Click on the edit link to get a list of all the countries in that continent. For example, if you can ship to South America, click on the edit link to get a list of all the countries in South America and their current settings:
To turn on shipping for more than one country at a time, check the appopriate boxes and push the blue button reading Edit selected countries. (You can select all the countries in that continent at once by clicking on the top checkbox, in the table header.) Or, just click the edit link in the rightmost column to work on one country at a time.
In either case, the shipping screen is similar. For example, let's enable shipping to Paraguay and set the base rate to be $32.00, and the default product rate to be $4.00:
When your customers are ready to checkout, the country pulldown in the destination address section will automatically be populated with the countries that you've enabled. When the user changes the destination country, the choices in the state/province pulldown will automatically populate with selections that are correct for that country, and the shipping charges will automatically be updated.
Configure your store's taxes from the store > taxes portion of the dashboard.
An important note: of course, IndieMade can't give tax advice. IndieMade provides a means for you to collect taxes, but it is entirely up to you, as a site owner, to research and properly apply the local laws regarding the collecting of tax that apply to you and your goods or services. If you don't know what to do, it's probably best to consult an accountant or other tax specialist.
You can set up as many tax rules as you need. Each tax rule consists of a name (which will be shown to your customers), a country, a state or province, and a rate. For U.S. states, you can also provide a zip code or range of zip codes. You can also specify whether tax should be applied to shipping costs (by default, they are not).
All existing tax rates are displayed in a table.
The delivery address given by your customer affects which tax rules apply. In this example, if a customer was having her order shipped to an address in Quebec, then two separate tax lines would appear on her invoice: one for QST at 9.975% and a second for GST at 5%. Any shipping costs the customer may have incurred will not affect the tax collected.
To add a new tax rate, click on Add a New Tax Rate. You will be shown a form to fill in like the following.
If there is a single tax rate for the entire country, choose All of country for the state/province pulldown. For the United States, you may assign a single rate to the entire state, or you can further specify it by a zip code or range of zip codes.
If you live in a jurisdiction with lots of different tax rules, it can be a challenge to keep your site properly configured. To make keeping up to date easier, you can upload multiple tax rates in bulk with a CSV file.
An important note: of course, IndieMade can't give tax advice.

If you don't know what to do, it's probably best to consult an accountant or other tax specialist.
Log into your dashboard, then visit store > taxes. Click on the link Import Tax Rates from CSV. On the next screen, browse for your CSV file, and specify whether taxes apply to shipping or not.
When you click on Import Rates, the file will be uploaded and a new tax rule added for each of the rows of the spreadsheet.
The first row of the spreadsheet should include the column headers, as follows:
Attached to this page, purely as an example of the format, is a spreadsheet with Canadian tax rates for 2014.
Importing from TaxRates.com
IndieMade supports the tax file format used by TaxRates.com, a site from which customers in the United States can download files containing tax rules for every zip code in their state.
To do this, visit the Download Sales Tax Page and select your state.
After you've downloaded the file for your state, just upload it using the method described above.
You can re-upload rates as often as the tax rules themselves change: existing rates for the jurisdictions of the spreadsheet will be replaced.
| Attachment | Size |

| Example file for tax rate upload | 324 bytes |
If you have a Pro or Plus account, you have access to IndieMade's attributes and options feature. An attribute is a characteristic of some of your store's products, like Color or Material. Each attribute has one or more options, like Red and Blue for color, or Wool, Silk, and Cotton for material.
This five minute video can help explain how attributes and options work. More detail is below.
From your Dashboard, go to "Store" and click on "Attributes." Click on the "Add a New Attribute" link. Type in the name and description and choose the way you'd like to display your attribute options.
Under "Display type," you can choose the way customers interact with your product options. Use a text field to allow customers to type in a custom message; a select box to create a drop-down menu; radio buttons for choosing only one option; or checkboxes that can turn options on or off – whatever works best for you and your products! You'll set the different options for each attribute in the next step.
You can also require the customer to pick an option by clicking the "Make this attribute required" checkbox (if you don't check this box, your customer will not be obligated to choose an option).
When you are finished, click the "Submit" button. Your changes will be saved and you'll be taken back to the main "Attributes" page. You will see your new attribute listed, with several links under it. Click on the "Options" link, then click the "Add a New Option" link. Type in the name of the option you will give your customer. You can also add more to the base price of the product if this particular option is going to cost more.
When you are finished, click the "Submit" button. Your changes will be saved and you will be able to enter more options for your attribute. You can change the order in which the options appear by dragging the cross symbol in the left-hand column and dropping the options where you want them.
To attach attributes and options to a product, go to "Store" and "Products." Edit or create a new product and scroll down to "Product Information." Click on "Attributes," and the section will expand. You can now select the attributes that apply to your product.
Click the "Save" button, then go to your store and view the product. You will see that your customers are now able to choose the options that you set.
Good to know: Attributes do not affect the inventory system; it does not track stock for specific combinations of attributes. In other words, there's no way to say that you have 6 vanilla, 2 chocolate, and 1 coffee flavor in Cup of Happiness. The inventory system only tracks that you have 9 Cups of Happiness available.
Offer discounts on your products using Coupons. Coupons can be specific dollar amounts ($10) or percentages (5%) off of the total, or can cover shipping charges. You can specify under what conditions they can be used, to encourage larger orders. Only sites on the Standard, Pro, and Plus plans can use coupons.
Navigate to store > coupons to manage your coupons.
This page shows all of your coupons, including the code (what the customer enters to use the coupon), a description, and a summary of the details of the coupon. Click on View to see details on the coupon, and which customers have used it to purchase; click on Delete to delete a coupon. Click Edit to modify the terms of a coupon, or to swtich between active and inactive settings.
Adding a new coupon, and editing the terms of an existing coupon, both use the same screen, shown below.
There are three types of coupons you can use:
Simply choose the type of coupon with the radio button.
Under the advanced tab are several optional settings that affect the conditions under which your coupons can be used.
Set a Minimum Order Total if you want to limit coupon redemptions to carts of a certain total. If a customer tries to apply the coupon to an amount less than the amount you specify here, he or she will be politely refused checkout.
To limit coupon usage to customers who buy a specific number of items -- for example, to offer 5% off when you buy ten items -- use the Minimum order quantity setting.
To limit the number of coupons you will have to honor, set the Minimum number of redemptions field appropriately. Using this setting you can, for example, offer $15 off for only the first ten customers who use the coupon.
Finally, to limit the categories that can be applied to the coupon, select the category or categories you want to be discounted. You can use the Command or CTRL key to select multiple categories on the list.
You can use any combination of these settings. For example, to offer $15 off to the first twenty people who buy at least $100 of merchandise, create a coupon for $100 off, with a minimum order total of $100 and a maximum number of redepemtions of 20.
You may also edit coupons in bulk, which makes handling a large amount at once easier. Select the coupons you wish to edit, and then select "Edit selected coupons in bulk". You have the option to delete, activate, or deactivate the select coupons.
If you have at least one active coupon in your store, the cart page will automatically include a field to enter the coupon code.
Coupons appear in the cart, and on invoices, as a separate line item.
You can sell electronic goods such as patterns, eBooks, or instruction manuals by using IndieMade's downloads feature. Downloads can be attached to any number of your products. When a customer buys a product with a download attached to it, he or she can download it directly from your IndieMade site. Only sites on the Standard and Plus plans can use downloads.
Navigate to store > downloads to manage your store's downloads.
This page shows all of the files you've made available for download by adding them to your store. Upload new files by clicking on Add a New Download and selecting the file from your computer.
Each download can be no larger than 20MB in size.
After you've uploaded the files you want to sell, you need to attach them to specific products. This is done from the standard product entry screen. Navigate to store > products, find the product you want, and click on edit. At the bottom of the screen is a collapsible section labeled Downloads (this section will not appear if you have not yet uploaded any files!). Click to open it, and select the file or files you want to attach to the product.
Each file can be attached to any number of products (for example, here the Care of Vintage Goods document has been attached to three vintage products), and a product can have as many downloads attached to it as you need.
When a customer purchases a product or products that includes a download, note of this fact is included in the invoice she's mailed. The relevant section looks like this:
When the user logs in to his or her password-protected account page, she has a tab reading Files from which she can initiate the download. Each file can be downloaded up to five times.
If a product consists only of the electronic files -- for example, if you're selling a pattern alone -- then obviously your customers shouldn't be charged shipping for that product. To indicate that a product consists entirely of eGoods, uncheck the box Item is shipped to purchaser in the product edit screen. If an order consists entirely of downloadable products, with no physical goods of any kind, then no shipping charges are applied at all for that order.
Some states and countries require tax on digital downloads. If so, in your dashboard navigate to Store > Advanced Settings and check "Check sales tax on digital downloads". You may also set an explanation that tells your customer why you need to collect their billing address information.
After you have this option is enabled, navigate back to Store > Products and edit your digital products. You must check "item is shipped to purchaser" in your product's shipping settings.
Additional settings for your Store can be found under Store > Advanced Settings. Regular settings may be found under Store > settings!
Display stock on hand displays how much stock is left when you are tracking stock for a product. There are also settings whether to still display a product in the store when it is sold out.
Quantity box allows customers to enter the quantity on a product page when adding it to their cart, so they have an easy way of adding multiple to their cart.
The "Require e-mail confirmation" option makes sure your customers do not mistype their email by requiring it to be entered twice on checkout. This helps prevent orders with incorrect emails.
Advanced settings also has an option to enable sales tax on digital downloads. Some states and countries may require a sales tax on digital goods, check the requirements for your location to see if you need this option.
"Show shipping profiles on product admin list" provides some extra data on the product dashboard, so you may see what shipping profile a product has.
The 2 following options are for the look of your store sections sidebar. The first causes your sections to be sorted alphabetically in the sidebar, and the second removes your store name from the store sections sidebar. For example, if your shop name is "Shiny Turtles", then without this option checked the store section will display as "Shiny Turtles Sections".
"Enable free shipping by minimum" is very useful for those who wish to provide free shipping for orders over a certain amount. To use it, enter the minimum order amount required for free shipping and select the countries that this applies to.
The final option, "Disable mouse click right click" is to protect your site from basic users attempting to steal your content.With this option enabled it prevents them from right clicking to steal your images. This does not apply if you are logged in as the store owner. Keep in mind technologically advanced customers may find ways around this.
When an order is placed on your site a copy of the order is automatically emailed to your customer. The order confirmation emails are the same regardless of the payment method.
When updating the status of the order you can also choose to "Send e-mail notification on update."
At that time you can also "Add an Order Comment" to the notification email
To send a notification to your customer.
Your customer will be notified.
To send a notification that your order has shipped.

Product Reviews are currently in beta testing feel free to try out reviews and report any problems to support.
Product reviews allow your existing customers to post a review to any product. A customer must be logged in to their user account before posting a review. The review form will appear at the bottom of each product. As a store owner you can also post a review on behalf of a customer even if they purchased the product elsewhere. And unlike many sites since you own your store you have full moderation over your reviews.
In your Dashboard go to Website > Settings at the bottom of the page check "Enable Product Reviews"
You should now see the "Reviews' link in your Store Dashboard. Go to Store > Reviews.
Once you install the reviews functionality above you can always disable reviews by going Dashboard > Store > Reviews and click on the Settings tab.
Go to your Dashboard > Store > Reviews (on the left hand column).
Click the Add Review Button.
Enter a rating, feedback, the reviewer and choose a product.
Please note that you can choose an actual customer from your site or you can optionally put in 'Other Reviewer'
You now have the option of having a page dedicated to showcasing all the reviews your customers have given. To create an all reviews page, visit Design > Navigation, and enter a title for "All Reviews".
The Anonymous reviews option allows anyone to leave a review of your product. This makes it easy for customers who may have bought your product somewhere else, or are not logged in to leave a review. You can find this option under Website > Settings.
Of course, if anyone can leave a review, they can leave a spam reviews. There is a captcha to prevent the use of bots to spam reviews, but actual people can say anything they like. To combat this, anonymous reviews come in as unpublished. You may monitor and publish the legitimate reviews under Store > Reviews. Use the buttons on the "Visible" column to toggle a reviews visibility.
Managing your orders on IndieMade is designed to be a simple experience, so you can easily find an order, edit orders, and update an order's status in a few clicks. To keep track of your orders, go to your dashboard and select Store > Orders.
Sorting Your Orders
You can search for orders by customer name, number or by order status, as well as search by sorting the columns. A star next to a customers name means they are a repeat customer.
Your default order page will show the most recent order at the top. You can sort the list by date, order ID, total, and order status. To do that, click on the column’s title to sort the list by that column, and the list will rearrange the order list automatically.
You can also reverse the order from descending to ascending by clicking on the arrow next to the corresponding column.
To view a specific order, click on the “View Order” icon on the left side of the order’s row.
The order page will show you the details of the order, shipping address, and display the status details and system generated comments.

You can use order comments to communicate with your customer, and you can add your own comments to the order directly from the order page.
You can also update your order’s status in the comments area after it’s been shipped and completed.
.png)
Your order’s invoice is also accessible from the order page. Just click on the invoice tab, and you can view, print, and email your invoice.
When you need to make a change to an order, you can simply select Edit Order from the main orders page or just click on the Edit tab when viewing the order.
The edits you can make include: customer’s shipping and billing address, remove and add products, payment method, shipping total, and tax total.
If a customer wants to add another product to their order, click on the Add Product button and a select list of your product titles should appear. You can also search by name or SKU. Click on Select after you've finished adding the product.
You can also apply a coupon to the order. Beneath the “Add a line item:” option, select Coupon Discount and click Add Line.
When you add the discount amount, be sure to not use a currency sign.
If you need to add an amount to the order that isn’t related to shipping or tax, you can enter an Empty line item and give it any label you want. Again, when you enter the amount, please do not use a currency sign.
You should receive an email soon after payment is received, but if you want to see an order’s payment, you can go to the order's Payments tab.
Sold Galleries allows you to have a page dedicated to your past-sold products. If enabled, sold out products will be moved here instead. First, navigate to Design > Navigation. Under Link Labels, give "Sold" the name of your choice.
Next, navigate to Store > Settings. Under General Settings in the When sold out section choose "Move to sold section". You can also hide prices on sold out items. This is a good idea for products that may be gifts.
Now your sold out products will be in the sold gallery! By default, it is added to the top of your list of pages. Like any other page, you can change the order in Content > Pages.
Using Discounts, you can create deals on products of your choice. You are able to specify the timeframe in which the discount will start and expire for limited time deals.
Navigate to Store > Discounts to manage your discounts.
This page shows all of your discounts, including the description and a summary of the discount's details. Click on edit to modify the discount, click on delete to delete the discount.
Adding a new discount, and editing discounts both use the screen pictured below:
The first section is where you can set the discounts name, description, and activation time frame.
If you do not wish for the discount to be active until a certain point, check the "Discount activates" box. You will now be able to set the date and time at which the product activates. If you wish for the the discount to expire after a certain point, check the "Discount expires" box and enter the date and time.
Otherwise, you may simply check "Is active" if you wish to have your discount permanantly active. If an activation and/or expiration date is set, "Is active" will not apply the discount if it is before the activation date, or after an expiration date.
Discount conditions allow you to set under what conditions the discount applies.
There are two condition types to choose from:
When using minimum quantity, you will want to include the amount of free products received in the minimum amount. For example, if your deal is buy 2 get 1 free, you will want the minimum amount of products to be 3.
Under the Discount Application tab is where you set the type and amount of the discount, as well as which item(s) it affects.
There are 5 different discount types:
Below that, you can choose which products are discounted. There are 2 filter types:
You can hold ctrl(command on Mac) to select multiple products or categories. Once you are done creating your discount, hit the Submit button
This new toggle image feature enables photos to switch when the mouse is hovered over a product image in the store. This aesthetic design lets customers see more of the product withuout actually clicking on it. An example is shown below.
View from product page:
View with mouse hovering over product:
To enable this feature, go to dashboard>design>basics. Scroll down to "[theme] settings".
Mark the checkbox that says "add rollovers to my Store products".
From here on out the second photo in product images will appear when mouse is hovered over products.
As always, do not forget to click "save configuration" in bottom right-hand corner.
You have now enabled image rollover for products!
Vacation mode prevents people from purchasing products, while still being able to browse your store!
You can enable Vaction Mode in Website > Settings under the "Sitewide Messaging and Vacation Mode" section.
.png)
Directly below vacation mode, you can enbable a sitewide message. This goes very well with vacation mode, as you can make it clear that your site is on vacation mode, as well as let your customers know how long you will be on vacation.
Vacation mode is not required to have a sitewide message, you may enable the sitewide message at any time and have it contain whatever you like!
If you have press clippings (text, images, blog links, etc.), this is a great place to share them.
Under content, go to news and click + Add a New News Story.
The Create News Story box will appear. Enter your story’s title in the Title box and any tags in the Tags box. Type your page content into the Body box and upload an image to go with your story. Click the “Save” button at the bottom to create your new page.
The image you choose to go with your news story can be anything you like, but many IndieMade customers choose the magazine cover, newspaper logo, or the like.
If you want to allow your users to post comments on your blog posts, navigate to Design > Basics and check Enable news comments.
We know reporting is necessary to running a successful business. That’s why we’ve created some handy summary views and given you filters so you can customize reports. Best of all, you can export all of your data to a .CSV file!
Finding all of your store’s reporting options is easy -- just go to Store > Reports from your dashboard.
You can access your custom sales reports by going to the Custom Sales Summary tab.
Just select your start and end dates, results breakdown preference, and order status then click Display Report when you're done. You can select multiple types of order statuses by using the Ctrl or Command key. The results will appear on the screen, and you can also export the data by clicking the “Export to CSV file” link at the bottom of the page.
The Sales Summary tab gives you a dashboard overview of current sales, statistical data, and number of orders by status.
The Sales Per Year view displays number of sales by month, total revenue, and average order total. You can also hop to a different year by entering in the year and selecting View.
Stock Reports
The stock reports page will show you a summary of your inventory’s stock for the items you’re tracking.
There’s also some handy automation that allows you to see what items have a low stock. To set this up you’ll need to add a threshold amount, so that when an item’s stock is beneath the threshold, you’ll be notified on the summary page. You can add a threshold by clicking Edit next to each item, enter the threshold amount, and save changes.
When you want to look at the items with low stock, just check off “Only show SKUs below their threshold”.
The sales tax report shows you how much your store collected in sales tax. You can adjust the date on the sales tax report to narrow in on specific time periods. Just pick out your start and end dates, statuses, and click Display Report.
You can also view coupon usage by date and order status. This report will show you the order number, purchase date, order total, and coupon value.
Your customer report will show total number of orders, products, sales, and average order totals for each store customer.
To change the order of the columns, you can click on the header links to toggle a descending or ascending order for that column. Clicking on a customer's name will take you to a detailed list of orders that customer has made, and clicking on a customer’s username will take you to their account page.
The product report shows each product listed in the store, its amount sold, revenue, and gross profit. Again, you can resort this list by clicking on a column header.
You can also customize this report by date and order status by selecting the Custom Product Report tab.
Decide what should go on your calendar. Think about store hours, sales events, art shows and fairs, performances.
To add an event to your calendar, go to content and click on events.
Click + Add a New Event and the Create Event box will appear. Enter your event’s name in the Title box and any tags in the Tags box. Don’t forget to include the event date and time, then type some information about your event into the Body box.
Click the “Save” button at the bottom. The event will be published to your calendar.
If you are a subscriber to the Pro or Plus plan, you can connect your IndieMade site to your Etsy store. Once authorized, you can automatically make Etsy listings when you create new products, update listings as you update your IndieMade products, and so on.
And your inventory is kept up to date for you automatically: make a sale on Etsy and your IndieMade stock decreases. Sell the last item on your IndieMade store, and the corresponding Etsy product is delisted. It's a huge time saver.
The following sections describe this feature in more detail.
Before your IndieMade site and your Etsy store can communicate, you need to verify that you're the store owner, and explicitly grant access to IndieMade to make changes to your store on your behalf. You only need to do this once.
In your dashboard, navigate to website and then click on connect. (If your dashboard doesn't have a connect option, then your plan doesn't support the connect feature. You'll need to upgrade to another level of service before proceeding.) Click on the button reading Connect to Etsy and authorize account.
When you click on this button, you'll be sent over to Etsy's servers. You may be asked to log in to your Etsy account before proceeding. Eventually you should see a screen like the following.
Click the blue Allow Access button and your IndieMade store will be able to make changes to your Etsy store on your behalf. You'll be sent back to your dashboard to make futher changes.
You'll only have to establish the connection to your Etsy store once. If you no longer want access, you can revoke the access from this screen.
Once you're connected to Etsy, the website > connect page will show several sets of fields that change the way the connection works. You'll need to make some decisions before proceeding.
It can be a chore to keep listing information up to date on more than one site. IndieMade makes it easier for you by automating lots of these chores. The Product Listings section lets you change the way your site works, so it matches the way you like to work.
By default, when you create a product in your IndieMade store, it will automatically be pushed to your Etsy store as a draft listing, and when you delete a product in your IndieMade store, the corresponding listing over at Etsy will be removed. You can also automatically keep the two products in sync on updates, if you like -- add a photo to your IndieMade product and it will automatically appear in your listing on Etsy. Simply check or uncheck the boxes to match your preferences.
(If you prefer to keep explicit control over things, uncheck the boxes. You can still push product info over to Etsy only when you want.)
Etsy has a small set of requirements for listings:
Every time your IndieMade store "pushes" a product to Etsy, it needs to meet these requirements. Although you'll be able to set these values differently for each product, it can be a big time saver to have good defaults. For example, if you sell only handmade knitted children's hats that you made yourself, then you need only specify that once.
The product defaults section looks like this:
Obviously, you can change these default values whenever you like, simply by returning to this screen. You can set different values for any product you like, and changing the defaults here doesn't change the values you've already set for existing products.
After you've connected your IndieMade site to Etsy, navigate to store > products in your dashboard.
Each product will now have an extra set of action links. To differentiate these links from the IndieMade links, the appropriate logos are shown next to each set.
The standard IndieMade links for view, edit, and delete are in the top row. Next to the Etsy logo is a single action link, reading List. Push that button and the product will automatically be listed at your Etsy store, in draft mode.
Once a product has been linked, the action links next to the Etsy logo change to reflect this. For example, after we've listed the Vintage License Plate product, there will be three new links:
The Etsy action links each do something different:
The push and delete options can happen automatically if you've set your preferences appropriately.
So long as your IndieMade store is connected to Etsy, your product edit screen includes a field set specific to Etsy. By default, each field will be set to what you chose in the website > connect section of the dashboard. However, you can override these settings for specific products.
If you have lots of products listed on IndieMade that are not already linked to Etsy, you can "push" all of them to Etsy at once. Navigate to store > products, and choose the Push Products to Etsy option. You'll see a screen that looks something like this:
The prelude says how many products you have, and of those, how many are already linked with Etsy. You then have a choice for how to handle each type of product.
For unlinked products, you can choose to:
For products that are already linked, you can either update the data over at Etsy, or do nothing.
If you no longer want your IndieMade and Etsy stores to be connected, you simply have to revoke the access you granted IndieMade earliier.
In your dashboard, navigate to website > connect. At the very bottom of the Etsy section there's a Revoke access button:
When you click the button, your site and Etsy will no longer be linked.
If you're new to IndieMade but already sell on Etsy, you can save yourself lots of time by importing your Etsy listings directly into IndieMade and then connecting your IndieMade and Etsy listings.
First, download your products in a CSV file from Etsy:
Then, in your IndieMade dashboard, visit store > products and click on Import Products from CSV.
Are your products one-of-a-kind? If so, check the one-of-a-kind box and it'll automatically be removed from your store when it sells. Upload your file and IndieMade will take care of the rest. We'll make copies of your product photographs, add the description, set the product price, and so on. You'll have a fully stocked store in only a few minutes.
Your Etsy tags will become product categories — which function like Etsy's shop sections. So if your items have many tags to help with Etsy relevancy and you don't want those tags to become categories, you'll want to rename or delete your categories after the import. To do this, visit store > settings in your dashboard and scroll to the bottom to edit the categories.
The items you've just imported from Etsy are NOT automatically connected to your IndieMade store. To link the items, you need to take one more step.
First, click the Push Products to Etsy link at the top of your store > products page.
Then, choose the "Try to link to existing listings with the same name" option. This will tell IndieMade to link your imported items back to the matching items on Etsy, rather than creating duplicate listings. NOTE: For the items to be matched up successfully, they must have the same title on both IndieMade and Etsy — so if you want to change your product titles on IndieMade, push your products back to Etsy first, THEN change the titles.

Every IndieMade site comes with an IndieMade URL, such as yourwebsitenamegoeshere.indiemade.com. But if you own your own URL, such as yourcustomurl.com, and if you are at the standard plan or higher, you can use that domain instead. These instructions explain how to configure your domain so that people will see only your URL in their browsers when visiting your site.
You'll need to purchase your domain, from one of the many domain registrars, before you start. Many of our customers use GoDaddy, because it's cheap and because we have good instructions on how to follow these steps, but nearly any registrar will do.
First, wait a few minutes for your changes to take effect. Then visit your account page on IndieMade and look for a problem notification under your site name. If you've made a mistake in setting up your custom URL, you will see a link that looks like this:
Click on Get help for specific instructions on how to fix it.
If your account pages don't have the warning message This custom URL is not configured properly but it's still not working for you, close out all your browsers and open them again, to make sure you're starting from scratch. Type yourcustomurl.com into the browser's location bar and push enter. The text should be replaced with www. yourcustomurl.com, and as you click around your site, the name of the page you're looking at should appear in the location bar.
If you see yourwebsitenamegoeshere.indiemade.com in the location bar, or if it always reads only www. yourcustomurl.com no matter what page you're looking at, then you didn't do it correctly.
Contact support and ask for help. We have helped hundreds of people get their domains set up for IndieMade. We can help you too.
Once your changes have taken effect, and your custom URL is pointing at your IndieMade site, you'll want to take one more step: change your default base URL in your dashboard. Log in, navigate to Website > Promote, and type in your custom URL. When your IndieMade site notifies Google and Bing of changes in your site, it'll use your custom URL.
Although the four basic steps are the same, each DNS host is different. We have collected instructions for many popular hosts below. If your host isn't listed here, you may have to contact their customer support for help.
This short tutorial explains how to use DreamHost's control panel to set up your custom URL with IndieMade.
Now, just wait. It can take some time for your changes to take effect.
All traffic for www.yourcustomurl.com will now go to your IndieMade site. But if someone types in just yourcustomurl.com -- that is, without the www -- we'd like her to be directed to your site as well. To do this, we'll set up what DreamHost calls a redirect domain.
Wait a bit for the changes to take effect, and you're done.
Log into your account at enom.com, and then follow these instructions to set up your CNAME.
First, log into your Account Manager. Then, next to Domains, click on Manage.
Next to your domain, click on and select "Manage Connection".
Select the DNS Zone File tab.
Then select Add Record.
Select the CNAME record type.
The host name is "www". Change the "Points to" field to your IndieMade URL (yourwebsitenamegoeshere.indiemade.com). There is no "www." in front of your IndieMade URL. Click Finish when you're done.
Be sure to click Save Changes!
Select Settings from your domain management page. Click on "Manage" by the Forwarding region.
Select Add Forwarding.
Forward the Domain to your "www." URL (www.yourcustomurl.com). This should be a 301 redirect, forward only. Click Add when you're done with the entries.
Hit Save, and that's it!
If you get this error after trying to save your CNAME record:
It means that you already have a CNAME record for host name "www" and you need to delete the existing CNAME record before saving the new CNAME record that points to your IndieMade website. You're only allowed to have one CNAME record with the host name "www".
You may also edit the existing CNAME record, so it points to yourwebsitenamegoeshere.indiemade.com.
This short tutorial explains how to use Network Solution's control panel to set up your custom URL with IndieMade.
Log in to your Network Solutions control panel at http://www.networksolutions.com
Now when someone visits www.customurl.com, they'll see your IndieMade site.
Remember it can take up to 24 hours for your changes to take effect.
Add your CNAME like this:
Unfortunately, Yahoo does not permit redirects from the base domain to the www subdomain. Instead, contact support to set up a javascript redirect on your site.
This section is a grab-bag of miscellaneous topics.
Using IndieMade's rich text editor on pages makes it easy to embed video directly into the page itself. This method can also be used on blog posts, event descriptions, news descriptions, gallery descriptions and product descriptions.
Find the video on YouTube or the website on which it is hosted. Click the Share button under the video.
Copy the URL from the box below the video.
Create the page where your video will appear on your IndieMade site. (Or, go to the existing blog entry or page where you'd like to post the video.)
Click the filmstrip button in the rich text editor's toolbar.
Paste the URL that you copied from the video site. Click OK and save the page.
See it live on your website.
This page will take you through the steps of burning any external blog (as long it has a feed, most do) and embedding it on your website. You will notice blurry images and some things marked out with squares, but I recently did this for someone and thought I would take the screenshots to share with you!
If you look for the feed icon on your site it will generally take you directly to your feed.
If you don't see a feed url anywhere, you can check your root url and add a /feed at the end. For instance, this is IndieMade's feed url: http://wwwindiemade.com/blog/feed
A feed page looks like a scary mess of code, don't worry about it, though, you just need the url (I pulled this off of Blogger):
.png)
(it won't be blurry, I just did this to protect the identity of this blogger)
There are other burning tools out there, but feedburner is free and has worked the best for me.
You are welcome to use the settings I typically use. Full HTML will provide your images within the blog posts.
Log in to Facebook and click on "Account" to use Facebook as a Page.
Click on the Page that needs a username.
Click on Edit Page.
Under Basic Information, click on "Create a Username."
Continue as "you."
Type in your preferred username.
Check your spelling and hit the "Confirm" button.
Now add your username to your IndieMade account and you're done!
Good photos are essential for your IndieMade site. This page gives you some guidance about how to get a beautiful, fast-loading website with the least amount of fuss.
In many instances, photos you upload to your site will automatically be resized by the IndieMade system. This is not only a huge time saver for you, it keeps your site loading quickly and your pages looking consistent.
The following categories of photos are resized automatically:
In each case, the eventual size and cropping strategy depends on the theme you've chosen. For example, for the peasy theme your product detail images will be resized, cropped, and centered to 380x285, with 80x60 thumbnails for navigation. For paper, the product detail image is shrunk, but the full image is always visible.
When you switch themes, all your images will automatically be resized to match the new theme's design.
You can also upload images using the rich text editor. If you are adding images to blog posts or pages, for example, then the IndieMade system does not resize them for you -- this way you can lay them out however you like.
When uploading an image using the editor, you can specify the height and width of the image on screen, as seen here:
However, you will get better results if you resize the image using the image editing software of your choice before uploading them to your site. Not only is the quality higher, but your web page will load much more quickly (if you take a 2GB image and display it in a 50x50 box, the browser still has to suck down the entire 2GB, and that takes time). It takes a tiny bit more work on your part, but the results are far superior.
We recommend you keep your images between 400 and 700 pixels wide and no certainly larger than the width of your page -- if the theme you've chosen is 960 pixels wide, then it will look awful to upload a 2000px wide image.
There are, of course, many options for editing images. Some popular ones are shown below.
Our resource collection has lots of tips for how to take great product phtotos, so check those out also.

We now store any messages you get from your contact form under Website > Contacts in your dashboard. This brings up a list of all the messages you have gotten from your contact form.
The contact form has a spam filter, and any contacts that are detected as spam will be moved to "Marked Spam" and you will not recieve an e-mail notifcation for it.
If you recieve a spam contact and it gets past the filter, click the "submit spam" link on the right side. It will be moved to the "Marked Spam" spam and the contents submitted to the filter to better detect similar spam in future messages.
The settings tab of "Contacts" allows you to change what users see when using it, disable sending messages from the contact form to your e-mail, or disable the contact form entirely.
