Using Simplero With Your Existing Website

Updated Jul 14, 2021

You can build your website in Simplero or you can keep the existing website you already have. Sometimes people love the one they have or just don't want to move it right now! No worries.  Simplero will play nice. ;) 

There are two ways to connect Simplero and your website, and we've got the steps you need to manage them right here. 

Embed an Email List Opt-In

An email opt-in requires a bit of code that you copy from Simplero and paste into your website.

You've got two options for this.  You can use generic code that uses the styling from your website. This is called raw form code. 

You can also create (and style) an embedded form in Simplero and then just post that to your website. 

You can find the embedded form code by following these steps:

  1. Select Contacts from your Simplero Dashboard and choose Lists from the dropdown menu.
  2. Select the List you want people to opt-in to.
  3. Select the Signup forms tab.
  4. Click the Create new signup form button on the top right corner.

  5. Select the Embedded type of signup form.


  6. After you've chosen your Template, stay on the Content tab, and scroll down until you see the Embed Code that you can give to your web designer.

Landing Pages and Order Forms

You can use your external website to promote your offerings and then use a link or a graphic button for people to buy your product through, like a "buy now" button. 

For this, simply make something to link to, the same way you'd make any other link on your site, whether it's a graphic, a button, or just text, and then link it to the order form on Simplero.

Here's the step by step to linking to an order form: 

  1. Select Sales from your Simplero Dashboard.
  2. Choose Products from the dropdown menu.
  3. Select your Product.

In the top righthand corner, you'll see the Links button. Click the Clipboard icon next to Order Form in the dropdown menu to copy the link and paste it where you need it on your website.

You can also send your folks to a landing page that you build in Simplero.  Most people do this with a 'Learn More' button on their website.  

That's All You Need to Do!

That's all there is to it, and now you're all set to deliver value to your list and bring in sales. Whether or not you keep your external website, Simplero can then handle all your content and product delivery to Simplero.
