Options in the Product description editor
Note: It is not currently possible to enter custom HTML in the product description.
The editor allows you to add these elements to your product description:
- Bold and italic text formatting
- Bulleted or numbered lists
- Horizontal separator line
- Clickable links and hyperlinked text
- Images
- Emojis (on Mac computers, by clicking ctrl+command+space, on Windows 10 or newer, by clicking on Windows key + period)
Here's an example of what you can do with the product description editor:
To preview the changes you're making to your product, click on the eye icon below the Save product button. This will take you to the product page and allow you to see how the product will appear for your customers.
Using links in the Product description
In your product description, you can also add links to external sites or your other Sellfy product pages.
There are two ways to add links in the product description:
- By copy-pasting the URL in the description - the URL will automatically become hyperlinked, as shown below.
- By hyperlinking some text:
- Select the text you want to hyperlink
- Click on the link icon in the product description editor
- In the Insert link pop-up, enter the full URL of the site
And here's the result:
Using GIF images in the product description
- Copy the GIF source code from the hosting service
- Log in to your Sellfy account > Add new product
- Scroll to product description > click the source code icon
- Paste the code > click OK
- Click Save Product
Note: If you don't have any place to store the GIF on the internet, contact Sellfy Support and we'll store it for you.
