Account creation

Create an account on the Gumroad website at Gumroad.

After creating your account, create at least one product in your Gumroad account. A product must exist before a product widget embed code can be generated.

Gumroad provides embeddable product widgets that allow customers to purchase a product directly from your website.

The embed code provided by Gumroad will be similar to the example below:

<script src="https://gumroad.com/js/gumroad-embed.js"></script> <div class="gumroad-product-embed" data-gumroad-product-id="PRODUCT_ID"></div>

The code above is illustrative only. The embed code provided in your Gumroad account will contain your specific product information and must be copied directly from Gumroad.

To add a Gumroad product widget to your ShopWired website using a HTML element:

Navigate to Website > Themes
Select customise your theme for your active theme
Select add a new section
Select the HTML element section type
Paste the Gumroad embed code into the HTML field
Position the section where you want the product widget to appear on the page
Select Save changes

Use ShopWired's landing pages feature to add the product widget to a custom page on your website. If you want to add the widget to a website page select the Tick here to enter additional custom HTML/JS/CSS setting to add the code.

Recommendations

Copy the Gumroad embed code directly from the Widgets section of your Gumroad account
Avoid adding the Gumroad embed script multiple times on the same page
Test the embedded widget on a draft theme before publishing changes
Keep a record of where Gumroad widgets are placed within your ShopWired theme
