How to add inventory to your website from ArtCloud Manager

Inventory populates on your website through the use of Inventory Blocks. Inventory Blocks live in many places in the ArtCloud Website Builder, but the most common are on the Inventory page type, Artist Profile Page Template, and Exhibition Detail Page Template. We'll walk through these options in this article.

Create an Inventory page

ArtCloud's Website Builder offers different page types when you create a new web page. You can choose an Inventory page type that automatically has an Inventory block on the page itself. Create a page that already has an Inventory Block added to it by following the steps to create a new page, and click the Inventory option from the Select Page Type dropdown.

Be sure to name your page and decide if you would like it to appear in your navigation. In this case, I named our new page New Arrivals, though you can name it whatever you'd like. If we view the Pages dashboard, you'll see our New Arrivals page created and placed in alphabetical order. This page with inventory items has instantly been created.

Add an inventory block to a Custom Page

Once you've already created your Custom Page, you can easily add an Inventory block to this page from under the Content tab on this page within the Website Builder. We'll be adding inventory to the bottom of our Home page in this example. 

Navigate to the page you want to add inventory to and click on the Content tab:

Next, drag an Inventory Block into your page.

Inventory blocks within your Website appear based on the settings made on the particular inventory block. ArtCloud uses statuses to label inventory: Active, Inactive, and Sold. Learn more about these statuses here.
