You can add a product to the main page of your website, this is a great way to feature your products so that customers can easily click through to the product and purchase the item. You can add a product to the main pages of your website by using a product block, grid gallery, buttons or images.
Once your Shop is Online an additional feature will be enabled for you that allows you to add products from your store to the main pages of your website. This feature is a great way to showcase important or popular products. You will need to be logged into your Rocketspark Dashboard.
- Go to the page where you want to add the product e.g. your Home page.
- Click Add a block and select Product
- In the Product Block choose a product from the drop-down list of products already in your store and click Add Product. The product will be added to your page displaying the product name, an image, a short description and the price. Check out www.mrralph.co.nz/ to see how they use the Product Block.
Extra for experts - create buttons that link to products or categories
Rocketspark’s shop has been designed with ease of use for you and your customers as the top priority. However, with a little thought, you can do some clever things using links. The links are a little more sophisticated to implement but can enhance the shopping experience of your customers.
Using our Button Block you can create your own button that links to a product or a category in your shop. Learn more here: Make your own button

For example, you could create a graphic of a Buy Now button that links directly to your shop, a shop category or an individual product. See an example from http://www.andaluztrading.com below.
Create a link to a shop category. You can take this idea of using links a step further to link your customers to a specific category. For example, if www.coffeeonline.co.nz were doing a special on their fair trade category of coffee they may want to provide a link directly to just Fair Trade coffee.
- Go to your store and Sort by the category you want to link to e.g.Timor Fair Trade
- Copy the URL for the page to create your link.
Remember to copy the URL for the link from your live site (rather than when you are logged into Rocketspark Admin) so that your proper domain is used in the link rather than the .rocketspark.co.nz domain that appears when you are logged into Rocketspark Admin.
