My nephew is a website builder and has offered to build my off-site store for me (for a fair fee). I need to do as much research as I can in preparation to having him do it for me.

I seem to have trouble finding what I need to find via search and many of the example websites are showing 404 errors when I do find them.

Are there problems with the Zazzle store module (or what ever it is called)?

Can you point me in the right direction? Some topics? Any help would be gratefully appreciated Smile

I think you're after the Zazzle Store Builder (ZSB), I've used the 1.5 version which you can find here;

Steve.

It's an unofficial version uploaded and maintained by Ed Caggiani (a Zazzle staff member).

Thank you for that response, I'm familiar with Eric. I'm passing that along.

Do any of you have outside stores you'd like to show off. I'm finding most from old thread either don't exist any more or are showing 404 errors. I'd love to see different ways they've been formatted if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for posting that example. It helps to visualize what can be done even though our product lines are significantly different.

I haven't posted any links Audrey because my use of it so far has been just the 'bog standard' result from the ZSB, whereas Terry's site shows what can actually be done with it. Hopefully some more examples will be forthcoming (I'd certainly like to see some more!).

Steve.

Idea
In addition to using Zazzle Store Builder and having a page full of products, another option is to utilized the Zazzle API ( http://www.zazzle.com/api ) which you can use to "generate" products using content from your site.

http://alphabetimals.com/ is a great example and uses Zazzle API beautifully in my opinion.

I've recently opened a store here on zazzle, but I'm also building my own design website which uses store builder. You can see it here

I'm still tweaking things a little but I think it's shaping up nicely.

I hope others share their links also Smile

AudreyJeanne, I've got several stores using WordPress and the ZStore Plugin. Much easier to update yourself!
