Edit Product Mixes
- Add or remove entire suppliers or categories
- Move our products into your own custom categories
- Edit any part of one of our existing products
Our staff has picked the best-of-the-best products to be live in each of your categories - but we're certainly not the final authority. You are. So feel free to remove any supplier you don't want to work with or any category you don't want to include.
Did we miss something you need? No problem - you can add it in. Add your own products to our existing categories, or add your own entirely new categories. You can even move our existing products into your own categories!
Control Settings
- Change profit margins, shipping costs, minimum order sizes & much more all with one click
- Enable or disable ability to order samples or add items to a shopping cart
- Define which logo(s) appear on products & in headers
The "Settings" page allows you to control just about every option imaginable all from one easy to navigate screen. Change your profit margin on every item in the store simply by entering what you want in the box. Same goes for shipping charges, minimum order sizes, embroidery costs, sample costs and a whole lot more.
You can also decide which logo or logos you would like to appear up in the header of the store and which ones should go on the products. They don't have to be the same!
Create Custom Templates
- Every one of your stores can have its' own unique look & feel
- Select from dozens of "stock" templates or customize one from scratch
- Switch to different holiday or themed templates throughout the year
We understand that no two clients are alike - and their websites shouldn't be either. With our template editor you can quickly change colors, buttons and elements for all ten of your included client sites. We'll even show you the colors that are part of their logo so you can match their branding exactly. Just point, click and save.
We have tons of stock templates to choose from. We're also happy to create a completely unique one for you from scratch.
Easy Order Management
- Every order ever placed displayed in one area
- Sort orders by date, company, person, total, etc.
- Export order data for use in other applications
We get that you don't have time to sift through your inbox every time you want to find details about an order. Our order history section gives you all of the information you need. Sort it any way you want it.
Need the data in a different format for use in another application? No problem, you can just export it!
Request New Client Sites
- Enter the name of the client & upload their logo
- Choose an optional custom domain name
- Add any additional functionality like credit card processing
What good is having up to ten additional sites for your clients if it isn't easy to add them? We'll ask a few simple questions about how you would like it set up, a field to upload the logo, and a few choices on additional options. That's it!
You can even have multiple logos that your client can select from via a drop down list. Perfect for different brands and divisions!
Help & Support
- We have years of combined industry experience
- Support staff to walk you through anything you need
- Downloadable help manual (with pictures!) for the self starters
The level of support that we offer isn't just "click here, do that". Every person that works at Creative Merchandise has actual industry experience. We speak your language. We know how to talk about the projects you're working on and advise on how best to handle them.
There are help buttons on every section of every page and a downloadable help manual full of step-by-step instructions and pictures. You'll be armed with the knowledge to take advantage of every feature we offer.
Search Engine Optimization
- All pages optimized for search engine indexing
- Control meta tag & keyword settings
- We're happy to work with 3rd party SEO firms
Search Engine Optimization is important, and we provide you with tools to make sure that it is in your control. Obviously not every one of our users can come up on the first page of Google, but handled properly and with a little finesse it is certainly possible to successfully target a niche.
If you feel you need more than what is available via your admin section we can also work with any 3rd party SEO firm of your choice.
