Hey there!
Summer usually feels like a slow drift for a marketplace like Lectronz, with hardware creators seemingly taking a break on some remote island. But this year, we’ve had a thrilling surprise! August turned out to be our second biggest month in sales since launch! It seems that the 7,000 order milestone is just within reach.
So, we’re diving into September with high energy, and I’m excited to unveil new features for our sellers!
Tag Your Products!
Lectronz now lets you add tags to your products, making it easy to group them into collections. These tags will appear at the top of your product listings in the seller interface, and with just one click, you can filter to see only the products that match a specific tag.
But that's not all—these tags unlock even more possibilities. Keep reading!
Give Your Storefront a Personal Touch!
We’ve rolled out new ways to customize your storefront on Lectronz!
Your storefront is the main URL of your store on Lectronz. For example, if your store is named "omzlo," your storefront lives at https://lectronz.com/stores/omzlo. By default, it shows all your products listed alphabetically under the title “Products.”
Now, you can replace that default view with personalized collections of products, each with a custom title, displaying only products that match a specific tag of your choice.
Additionally, you can now feature a single product in a dedicated section with a larger image and custom text, all using our easy-to-use markdown editor.
Head over to the "Storefront" section in the seller admin backend and start customizing today!
You Can Write Articles on Lectronz, Too!
Did you know that every user on Lectronz—not just sellers—can create and publish articles? In fact, the article you are reading now was made that way. Our article engine supports markdown and even offers syntax highlighting for code snippets. This is perfect for sharing detailed documentation or tutorials that go beyond what you can fit on a product page.
To get started, click "My Account" in the Lectronz top menu and select "Articles."
