Add a store to your Ning Network
Ning Apps Ning Network Spotlight
Your Ning Network can be a place to see beautiful images, set out on new adventures and connect with other members around shared interests. It can also be a place to make a little extra cash. Included in our Ning Apps launch from last month are several Ning Apps that you can use to sell products directly from your Ning Network. For example, Every Day Moms is using the Sellit Ning App to sell homemade crocheted gifts, directly from its Shops tab.
It takes only a few steps to add a store to your Ning Network.
First, click on the Manage tab and select the Ning Apps icon. From there, choose the commerce Ning App you want to add (a complete list is located in the E-Commerce section). In this example, we’ll use the Sellit Ning App. Once you add Sellit, you can set up your store by adding the URL for a Cartfly, Etsy, Yahoo, or CafePress store. After you register your store, you’ll be ready to start selling items directly through your Ning Network.
If you don’t already have a store through one of these services set up, you may want to look in to the CartFly Ning App. Using CartFly, you can directly upload items to sell to members of your Ning Network. Other money-making Ning Apps can be found in the E-Commerce section of the Ning Apps directory; options include ShopIt and Netcarnation Marketplace.
I would really like an app that allows multiple businesses to sell their wares through the site. A template style app that individual users could house on their own pages and I link if possible on one ‘Mall’ page.
The idea is to get those members (mostly homeworkers) of the website who want to show, promote and sell their own goods making my local website a virtual highstreet or shopping mall.
Either this is free to members or a nominal price paid to the site owner – it would help pay the increased Ning fees each month.
Is there something like this already available? If not please create it – the power of a community trading and engaging would be brilliant and draw more users onto the Ning platform for sure
How about a shop tool that all members could use to sell their products or services?
I have recently tried both the Sellit and Cartfly app in my ning network and neither one will bring up my cartfly store. The store is new and has no products. I can add a product if its necessary for the store to show up, but I have had no success adding either app. PLEASE HELP!
Hi Emily,
If you ad the URL for your existing store, you should be able to set up your shop. I took a look at your Ning Network and if you give SellIt a couple of seconds to load, the set-up window appears.
