Summary of the Inventory Storefront
It is a basic web page that you can share with your customers so they can browse and buy sheds off your lot from wherever they are
A URL is provided that can be shared easily via text, email, social media, website and other methods
The inventory storefront is linked to you TSA (The Shed App) account and buildings will become automatically become available as they are produced and unavailable as the are sold
How to get the Inventory Storefront link to share with your customers
Follow the steps below within your Shed App account.
Navigate to Manage Inventory
Click the copy icon that is located next to each store
Open the link in an incognito browser tab
If you have followed these steps, you should be looking at the inventory storefront for the specific store that you specified. If you would like to view the inventory storefront for all of your buildings regardless of where they are located, the url parameter that specifies the store location (store_id) can be removed (order_store_id cannot be removed). Here is an example of the demo inventory storefront, remove the red part of the url to see all inventory buildings.
https://manufacturer.theshedapp.com/inventory-storefront?store_id=96&order_store_id=38#/
store_id is a URL parameter that specifies only inventory buildings located at the specified store should be displayed. This URL parameter can be removed to show all inventory buildings located at all stores/locations
order_store_id=38#/ is a URL parameter that specifies which store will be used to make the sale of the inventory building. This parameter is required and will ensure RTO numbers and the correct store surcharges are used to display pricing.
How to Manage the Images and Thumbnails on the Inventory Storefront
Navigate to Manage Inventory
For each building listed there is a Notes and Attachments icon. Click this icon to open the Notes and Attachments for the building.
For each attachment, there is a drop down menu where tags can be applied to the attachment. Add the “Marketing” tag to any images you want to be visible from the inventory storefront.
When “Marketing” tags are applied, this makes the attachment viewable on the Inventory Storefront for customers to view. If no “Featured” tag is applied to any of the attachments for the building than the most recently tagged “Marketing” attachment will be used as the thumbnail on the Inventory Storefront.
Tag an attachment with the “Featured” tag to set it as the thumbnail representing the building on the Inventory Storefront.
