Starting from Scratch?

The flexibility of Pages gives you endless possibilities of choices for design and layout. We highly recommend using one of the Sales Pages Templates and customizing them to your business needs. In this tutorial, we'll create a simple Order From Block from scratch and add our product.

Now that we have created a Block and added the Columns, it's time to drag the Elements from the Palette that will make up our Order Form Block. The Elements for Order Forms are organized in the Palette under "Form and Sales".

When creating an Order Form there are certain Elements that are necessary for a purchase to be validated. These Elements are, First and Last Name (Form Fields), Billing Address, Credit Card, Order Summary, and Submit Button.

Drag and Drop the Elements from the Palette to the various Rows.

Adding your Product

You'll notice when you drag the "Order Summary" onto the canvas, you are prompted to add your product.

Select Your Product

From the dropdown, select the product (or products) that you would like to sell for this transaction.

Settings for your Product

Once your product is selected, you'll notice you have quite a few options in the Element Editor.

Select your Payment Gateway

In order for your sale to process, you must select your Payment Gateway. To learn more about Payment Gateways, we recommend this article. In this tutorial I chose a Dummy Gateway, which is a great way to test your sales process without charging you. You would need to change this to an actual Payment Gateway before going live!

Other Settings

Shipping

If you're setting up a physical product that will need to be shipped, adjust the Shipping Settings to your preference. See this article for detailed information about adding shipping methods.

Taxes

Select your Tax Preferences. See this article to learn how to add taxes.

Invoice Preferences

Here you'll set your Invoice Preferences. If you prefer to create your own custom invoice, see this article.

Save your block as a favorite.

Congratulations! You have finished creating an Order Form Block and added your Product. Now take a moment to save your Block as a Favorite! This can be a huge time saver if you decided to sell the same product on a different Page, or if you like the layout, just change the Product!
