An Inpage BYOB is made to sit inside a page rather than take one over: the tier chips, the products and a running total, in a single column that fits your theme. Until now it only did that on its own bundle product’s page.
Now the Flash Bundle theme block puts an Inpage BYOB anywhere in your theme: a landing page, a collection, the home page. It comes as it is, with the same products, tiers and Add To Cart.
Why the Inpage builder suits a page
The full-page BYOB brings its own cart column beside the products. The Inpage builder keeps everything in one column instead: the tiers and a progress bar at the top, the products in the middle, and the total with one Add To Cart at the bottom. On a page that already has its own heading, text and pictures, that is the lighter fit. It reads as part of the page, not as a second page inside it.
Set it up
- In Flash Box Builder, open your Inpage BYOB bundle and click the page icon beside Preview (Add to another page).
- The theme editor opens on a page template with the Flash Bundle block already added. In the block’s settings, click Bundle or product and pick the bundle’s own product (its vendor is Box-builder).
- Click Save.
A block belongs to a template, not to a page, so put it on a template of its own if you want it on one page only: in the theme editor’s template menu, go to Pages and click Create template, then set that page’s Template in Online Store > Pages.
What the shopper sees
On my test page, Pack for a snow day, the builder sits under the page’s own heading and text, as wide as the theme’s content.
Shoppers add boards right in the grid. Each pick turns into a quantity stepper, and the bar at the bottom keeps count: the number of items, the discount the tier gives, the total, and the same total on the Add To Cart button.
Add To Cart puts the whole kit in the cart as one line, with its boards listed under it.
Things to know
- It needs an Online Store 2.0 theme. Dawn, Ride, Sense and the other current themes all are. Older themes have no place for app blocks at all.
- Page builders are different. If your page was made with PageFly, GemPages or similar, the theme editor cannot place a block inside that content. It can still go above or below it in the template.
- One bundle, every page. The block shows the bundle as you set it up in Flash Box Builder, so a change in the bundle editor shows everywhere the block is.
- On the bundle’s own product page the block stays out of the way, so the builder is never drawn twice.
- The other bundle types go on a page the same way: see a BYOB bundle on any page and a volume discount on any page.
The Flash Bundle block is live for every store on Flash Box Builder. Put your Inpage BYOB where the page already does the selling.
