In-site Editing

Make changes directly on the page, hassle-free.
tradeit features simple to use in-site editing meaning non-technical staff can easily create, edit and delete content pages. As work is carried out directly through the storefront it’s easy to preview your additions or changes to see how they appear before publishing them. Merchants can also update, add or remove content in transactional emails using templates with the same familiar in-site editing interface and workflow used for managing content pages.

In-site Editing

Templates

Each page is built on a template which is populated with a number of editable zones. Transactional emails are also built on templates which are populated with a number of editable zones.

Zones

Each zone can be populated with one or more conditional component. Zones can be easily moved up and down the page to change their order.

Components

Within zones, pre-defined components mean different content can be displayed in different ways using text, images, buttons, links, social feeds, carousels, banners, videos or WYSIWYG to create layouts.

Conditional Components

Optionally, each component can have 40+ rules for when to display, enabling advanced personalisation.

Elements

Each component contains elements which represent something that can be edited to populate the component. This might be an image, text, video, or a link for example.

Scope

Scope can be applied to content meaning you can display it; globally (on every page of your site(s)), by channel, by template, or by page.
