Your generated A3 iFrame site looks great on its own, but plugins let you add extra features when you need them. A plugin is a self-contained piece of functionality you can switch on to do more — collect messages, gather reviews, build a mailing list, or sell products — without rebuilding your site from scratch.
The available plugins
Here is what you can add today:
- Contact form / inbox — let visitors send you a message through a form on your site. Submissions land in an inbox so you can read and reply to them in one place. See setting up a contact form and inbox for the full walkthrough.
- Customer reviews — collect and display feedback from your customers, which helps build trust with new visitors.
- Newsletter signup — add a signup so visitors can join your mailing list and you can stay in touch with people who are interested in what you do.
- Shopping cart — part of the full online store, this lets shoppers add items and check out. The complete store (catalog, cart, checkout, orders, inventory, and a commerce dashboard) comes with the E-commerce Store add-on.
How to add a plugin
Plugins are managed from your site, so you do not have to regenerate the whole website to turn one on. The general approach is:
- Open your dashboard and select the site you want to change.
- Find the plugins or features area for that site.
- Choose the plugin you want and enable it.
- Configure any options it offers, then save.
Some features, such as the full online store, are delivered as a paid add-on rather than a free toggle. The add-on adds the feature on top of your existing plan and includes everything that comes with it.
Choosing the right plugin
Pick based on what you want visitors to do. If you simply want people to reach you, start with the contact form and inbox. If you want social proof, add customer reviews. If you are building an audience, the newsletter signup is the place to begin. And if you are ready to sell, the E-commerce Store brings the shopping cart along with a complete commerce toolkit.
You can add more than one plugin to the same site, and you can remove a plugin later if you no longer need it.
