Shop integration with an eCommerce plugin — FAQs
A paid managed store solution like the IONOS eCommerce Plugin simplifies the setup and management of your online store. It's compatible with all popular CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla!, or Typo3, allowing you to easily integrate your store with your existing website.
No technical skills are required as we handle the entire setup and maintenance, including automatic backups and secure payment processing. We also ensure full market compliance and legal conformity, and offer transparent fixed pricing.
Adding individual products or your entire product range to your existing website is very straightforward, whichever CMS you're using. It works just as well with a Wix website builder as with a more complex CMS like Joomla!.
Simply select the relevant product and the “Buy Now” button in the menu.
You can then edit the design settings, and a HTML snippet will be automatically generated. You just need to copy and paste it into your website builder or CMS and you're done.
Integrating an entire store is just as easy. Simply select Websites as the sales channel and enter the HTML snippet. You only need to do that once and your products' shop and design will update automatically.
Our shop system can also be integrated into WordPress. For easier integration, we have developed a WordPress plugin that you can simply download in your dashboard after you have logged into the product.
Yes, we cover certain CMS by default, but others can be integrated just as easily via HTML code. This means that practically any website can be turned into an online shop.
The newly added online shop automatically fits to the design of your website. In addition, you have the option to customize the online shop’s design. For example, you can change the size or arrangement of the thumbnails of your products or make additional changes with just one click.
The payment process depends on which payment method or gateway you choose. When a customer purchases from your store, the transaction is processed by a third-party company like PayPal. You'll then receive the money in the account you've set up with the gateway or payment services provider.
Offline payment methods can be used as well, like cash on delivery, direct debit, or over the phone payments. If you offer these options, you'll need to give your customers instructions on how to pay you. You can either provide this information during checkout or after the order has been placed, e.g. by email.
The IONOS eCommerce Plugin supports a large range of other options, but the most popular payment methods are PayPal Express Checkout, Stripe, and Square. Here's how to choose and set up your favorite payment options:
- Select your favorite payment service providers or gateways from these options.
- Head to the store dashboard and click on the payment options you'd like to use in your store.
- Last, connect the payment option to your business account to get paid.
