Summary

In this article, we will explain how you can build order form URLs for each of your stores. These URLs can be shared via social media, email, sms, and your website.

Find the base URL

  1. Log into your TSA (The Shed App) account

  2. In the search bar of your browser edit the URL while you are viewing the Dashboard

  3. remove #/dashboard

  4. add order-form

    1. e.g https://manufacturer.theshedapp.com/order-form

  5. open the URL as you have edited it

    1. This should open the order-form

This is the base URL. You can bookmark it or save it in a note for future reference. You can also share this URL with customers. This will allow the customer to first choose a store on a map view before creating an order

What if I want to share a URL that directs customers only to my store?

You can add a parameter to the end of the base URL. Adding this parameter will direct customers to a specific store when they create an order.

Once you're ready for your customers to start using your order form to create quotes and orders, you will want to get the link to your order form to share on your website and possibly other channels like social media, sms, email, etc. This article will show you where to get this link/URL.

Within your TSA account

  1. Navigate to System > Lists > Stores

  2. click on the Share icon of the store you wish to the order to link to

After following these steps you should have the link to the order form for that store that you have selected. Users who use the link to place a quote or an order will automatically do so from the specified store.

The store URL parameter can be removed to allow the user to first select a store before creating a quote or an order.

  • https://manufacturer.theshedapp.com/order-form

Note that when you first get the link it may be a shortened version of the URL. We advise opening the link in a browser tab and then copying the expanded URL if you are using this link for a “Design your Shed” call to action on your website. See the examples below for the demo account.
