I tried Shopify but couldn't figure out how to make it work as Zazzle doesn't do drop shipping and couldn't figure out a way to get the items in the cart to be sent to Zazzle's cart with their information.  I also have an Amazon store. But, without dropshipping, I haven't added any products their as well.  So, I just set up one personal website and have links to my Zazzle stores.  I also have links to my individual collections.  I only get a couple of visitors a day though as the website lacks content and just consists mostly of links.  Search engines don't like those kind of sites.  So, it's not indexed well.   I mostly just set it up if I want to run a Google or Facebook ad.  If I do I can put in my website URL and a link to the page with the links.  Sometimes what I want to advertise is a collection, and the URL to the collection is too long and not memorable enough.  I've tried registering domain names for a collection, but, adwords doesnt accept URL forwards.  Good luck!

This is a learning curve for me, but can't you create a store front website and connect the product in photo square with an html link from zazzle to direct the traffic back to zazzle?   Then use your time wisely to use social media to direct people to your website vs zazzles website?

Hi again! Have you looked at NiftyGridZPro? It's a plugin for self-hosted WordPress websites and does what I think you're after.

Have a look at the NiftyGridzPro Intro page. There's a vid and also a working example of a paged product grid with a search feature.

You can use it for free. The free version always uses our referral id on Z links, so it only makes sense with products from your own Zazzle stores. That way you get the full royalty on any arising purchases but we get any referral income. Note that this is different to the 50/50 referral split on all other Nifty tools that you use for free.

If you're serious about it and end up getting the premium, paid-for version, then all existing product grids will immediately start using your referral id.

I hope that helps 🙂

If you are finding your links too long you can always use a link shortener / mask like bit.ly  https://bitly.com/
I use this on a regular basis and it works for me. Some sites don't like you using url shortners, others don't mind at all.

I use the Xenon theme for WordPress. I have it set up so that the main page shows new products, and then they're organized by subtype on different pages. If you want something that will take a bit of finagling at the start but afterwards can just let it do its thing, try zStore Manager Basic.

Do you use ZStore Manager plugin? Does it work for you? Is it compatible with the newest version of WP, php and mysql?
