Using CafePress with Sellit

Why can't I create a Sellit Mini-Shop using my CafePress URL?
If your CafePress store is set to private you will not be able to create a Sellit Mini-Shop. To make your store public:
  1. Log into your account at CafePress.com.
  2. Click the "My Shops" tab.
  3. Select the CafePress Shop you want to use.
  4. Click "Edit Shop Profile."
  5. Go to the bottom of the page under "Preferences" make sure the "Private" button is NOT checked.
Once this is done you should be able to go to Sellit.com and create your Mini-Shop!
Why don't my Books and CD's show up in my store?
CafePress is currently adding the Books and CD's so they can be included in your Sellit Mini-Shop. Hang tight, this feature should be available very soon!
Why are some of my CafePress products not showing up in my Sellit Mini-Shop?
"Premium" CafePress shopkeepers are allowed to customize the HTML in their stores and you might have added product links this way. If you added a product by customizing your HTML, it will not appear in your Mini-Shop. These products will appear in your Mini-Shop if you add them to the section you are using to create your Mini-Shop. If the products are located in the section you are attempting to create a Sellit Mini-Shop with you can contact help@ustrive.com for assistance.
Creating a “Best Seller” CafePress Sub-Section
You will soon be able to create more than one Mini-Shop, but until then we suggest creating a “Best Sellers” sub-section. To get the most out of your Mini-Shop, feature your best selling products. This will make it easy for your customers to navigate your merchandise and more importantly, attract more buyers back to your CafePress store.

Rather than relying on banners and other static links to drive traffic to your store, your Mini-Shop is a working storefront where shoppers can browse your products anywhere it is posted. Buyers are instantly brought back to your CafePress store to complete transactions.

To get started, collect a handful of your best selling items, and put them in a Section of your CafePress store. Then use Sellit.com to connect that section to your Mini-Shop.

Let me show you how.
  1. Sign into your CafePress store, and want to grab my Best Seller section URL to create my Mini-Shop.
  2. Click Manage Sections & Products
  3. Add a section.
  4. Select "I'd like to start customizing my section"
  5. Fill out the section name, we suggest "Best Seller". Add a section image if desired, pick your markup and click save.
  6. Click Import products from another store or section, select the section you desire and click next to choose and import the items to your "Best Seller" section. Now your products are available in the "Best Seller" section.
  7. To get the URL you need for Sellit, go to your "Storefront" and click on the section number in the orange bar in the right hand corner.
  8. Copy the link to take to Sellit.com.
How do I create a Mini-Shop for my CafePress Store?
Go to the "For Merchants" tab on Sellit.com:
  • Enter your CaféPress store URL in the "Store URL" field.
  • Your store address URL may look something like this:
    http://cafepress.com/mystore

    If you have a premium store, you will enter the URL of the section you want to use in the Mini-Shop. Your URL will look something like this:
    http://cafepress.com/mystore/574869374
Why do my products appear in a different order than my CafePress page?
If you are a "Basic" CafePress shopkeeper, sort ordering is not supported by CafePress. If you are a "Premium" CafePress shopkeeper, the order should be the same as on your CafePress web page. If you are experiencing this issue and you are a "Premium" CafePress shopkeeper, feel free to email help@ustrive.com for assistance.
Is Sellit a CafePress affiliate
Sellit and CafePress have a partnership that provides CafePress shopkeepers with social media marketing tools that drive additional traffic (and sales) to those shopkeepers that choose to use the Sellit platform. We are a CafePress affiliate. This affiliate relationship has been structured in a way to have a zero bottom line impact for sales by the shopkeepers using the Sellit service. The rules of the CafePress affiliate program do not allow an individual shopkeeper to create an affiliate code for their own shop.
