Your GoCart Homepage

Your GoCart homepage is designed to be mostly automatic. Based on the products in your product catalog, your featured products, the categories you have set up, the theme you have selected, and the settings you have configured, GoCart generates and maintains a homepage that is unique to your business.

Some content can be edited directly by you, the site owner, such as the banner title, banner subtitle, and about text. Featuring products and categories can also change the way your homepage is displayed.

Home Page Settings

On the GoCart Settings Page you will find a tab called "Home page". This is where you can manage the textual content of your homepage.

When you first create your account, GoCart generates these texts automatically based on the products in your product catalog and the data in your Stripe account. However, you can edit them to your liking.

There are three main content pieces that you can directly edit:

Banner title

This is the main text that appears in the banner on your homepage. Generally, this is the first thing a visitor will see, so make it catchy and attention-grabbing.

Banner subtitle

This is the secondary text that appears in the banner on your homepage. Generally, this is a shorter text that appears below the banner title and further explains why the user should continue shopping.

About your store

This text appears somewhere in the body of your homepage. It should be a couple of sentences long. The location of this text depends on the theme you have selected, but it is usually accompanied by your company logo. Use this text to tell your story, introduce your brand, or share your mission.

Featured Products

Many themes display product images on the homepage. You can choose which products are featured by selecting the "Featured" checkbox for the product in the GoCart App. If you have too many featured products, GoCart will select as many as the theme allows.

Featured Categories

Most themes show featured categories on the homepage. You can choose which categories are featured by selecting the "Featured" checkbox for the category in the GoCart App. Featured categories appear in the primary navigation menu of your website, as well as in the footer of most themes.

Featuring a category is a great way to bring attention to relevant products, as they'll be more visible to your visitors.

Home Page Example

Here is an example of a homepage with featured products and categories. Notice how featured categories are shown in the primary navigation menu and featured products are prominently displayed on the homepage. Each theme does similar things, but the layout may differ slightly.
