New Updates to your Products Page!

I am excited to announce that we have made updates to your Products page! The new changes make it easier to see which media files are attached to your product listings.

Are your files attached?

We've made it easier to tell if files are attached to your product listings. In the "Attached Media" column you will now see a link to your files. Click the links to confirm that the correct files are attached to each product. If no links appear, that means no files are currently attached.

To add or remove files, open the product listing by clicking the Product Title link. You will see your available files below the product information. Use the check box to add or remove files. If the box is checked, the file is attached. If the box is not checked, the file is not attached.

Click the red "Save" button to save your changes. If you want to upload a new file, click the "Upload New Media" button at the bottom of the screen.

When you click the "Upload New Media" button you will be redirected to your Media page. By default, the new media item will be attached the product listing you have open. Turn the "Attach to Product" button to "off" if you do not want the new media file to attach to the open product.

Instant Download

The instant download feature is now activated by a check box. If the box is checked, your product is available for instant download. You can activate or deactivate the instant download feature for each product on your Products tab.

Try it from your Customer's Perspective!

Is CraftHub.me right for your Etsy shop? Try our instant download service from your customer's point of view and find out!

Visit our etsy shop and purchase the example listing to experience our service as your customers will. As soon as you have completed your purchase, go to http://etsy.crafthub.me/orders to download the example product. You will be prompted to enter your order number and the email address associated with your Etsy account.

You will also receive a link to download the example product sent to your email 5-10 minutes after completing your purchase. The link will be sent to the address associated with your Etsy account.

Updates to Your Reports Page

CraftHub.me will be rolling out several updates over the next few months. You may already have noticed that your Reports tab has been updated! Here is a quick explanation of new features:

When you visit your Reports tab you will now see a green plus sign next to each transaction report. To save space on your screen, transaction reports are now minimized by default. To view the expanded report, click the plus sign. Click the red minus sign to minimize the report. 

If the word "downloaded" appears under the plus sign, it means your customer has downloaded their purchase. This allows you to easily keep track of which orders have been downloaded.

The IP lock feature now works for your entire order. Rather than locking/unlocking each file separately, you now lock or unlock the entire order.

The Geo IP Tool allows you to see where you customers are located. Access the tool by clicking the customer's IP address when you have the transaction report expanded.

 CraftHub.me will be announcing more updates soon. Follow our blog to get announcements sent right to your inbox.

Etsy Keyword - "Instant Download"

If you type "instant" into the etsy search bar, the term "instant download" is the first suggested term! If you are a current CraftHub.me customer be sure to include "instant download" in your titles, descriptions and tags. At the moment there are only a handful of shops that return results for this search term. Be sure to take advantage of these keywords for increased traffic.

For our customers who sell embroidery files - "instant download embroidery" is also a suggested search term.

Etsy tags can be up to 20 characters. The whole search term "instant download embroidery" is too long. To get around this problem, break the phrase up into 2 separate tags.

If you have a lot of listings to update check out: www.blugrin.com - they provide a service that helps you bulk edit your Etsy listings!

New Order Landing Pages

In order to make our download service easier for your customers, we have created custom order landing pages. Instead of having all files included in their delivery message, customer will receive a single link. This link will take them to a personal download web page. This page makes it easy to view file information as well as remaining downloads and their expiration date. Your customers will also have the option to "open" or "download" their files.

The "open" option will display the file in your customer's browser. For example, if your media item is a single jpg, when you click the "open" button the image will display in your browser. It also works for pdf's (if your browser supports it). Clicking the download link will automatically save the file into your default download folder.

To view these pages click on any receiept ID# on your downloads page. If a customer ever needs you to resend them their link this is where you can find it. 

Go to your media listing details to give each of your files public titles and thumbnails. Entering this information is not mandatory. If you do not have a thumbnail picture or title the spaces will be blank.

If your customer uses the download page but still has issues finding their files tell them to look in their default downloads folder. You can also give them the file name so they can search for it on their computer.

You can customize your landing pages in the "download page" box on your "content" page with your own html.
