Shop

Sell your pieces from your own site: your visitors fill a cart and pay on Stripe's secure page. The money goes straight into your Stripe account: Tilefolio takes no commission, only Stripe's card fees apply (about 1.5% + €0.25 per payment with a European card). Tilefolio opens the shop on request.

How it works

Connect your Stripe account

To do once, by the site's owner: editors don't see these settings. The administration shows the fields' names in French; their English meaning is given in brackets.

  1. Create an account on stripe.com (or use yours) and activate it to receive payments: Stripe asks for your identity and the bank account to pay the money into.
  2. In Stripe, open Developers > API keys > Create restricted key. Give it a name (for example “Tilefolio”) and write access to Checkout sessions, then create it. Copy the key, which starts with rk_live_.
  3. In your administration, on the home page, click Edit my site (Site settings). Paste the key in Stripe : clé secrète (Stripe secret key). It stays in the administration, never on the site.
  4. Still in the site settings, the Shop panel on the right shows your site's Stripe webhook address: click Copy.
  5. In Stripe, open Developers > Webhooks > Add destination. Choose the event checkout.session.completed and paste the copied address. This is how Stripe tells your site about each payment.
  6. Open the new destination and copy its signing secret, which starts with whsec_. Paste it in Stripe : secret du webhook (Stripe webhook secret).
  7. Set up the shop:
    • Boutique : monnaie (currency): CHF, EUR, USD or GBP, for all prices and shipping;
    • Boutique : frais de port (shipping cost): added to each order, whatever its size (0 or empty: free delivery);
    • Boutique : pays de livraison (delivery countries): the countries you deliver to, as two-letter codes separated by commas, for example CH, FR.
  8. Write to contact@tilefolio.com explaining what you intend to sell. Tilefolio opens the shop once your Stripe settings are ready: the cart then appears on your site.

To close the shop, write to us at the same address: the cart and the product tiles disappear from the site, past orders stay in the administration.

Add a product

  1. In Content Manager, click Product tiles, then Create new entry.
  2. Tuile (tile): open the block and fill in the title, the cover image, the themes and the date, as for the other tiles (see the tile block).
  3. Prix (price): in the shop's currency, for example 25 or 12.50.
  4. Stock: the number of copies for sale. For a one-off piece, enter 1.
  5. Photos (optional): more photos of the product, shown after the tile's image.
  6. Description: material, size, shipping time…
  7. Save, then Publish.

The stock goes down by itself with each sale. At 0, the tile shows “Épuisé” (sold out) and the product can no longer be bought: raise the stock to put it back on sale. Your site's editors can also create and edit products.

Orders

Each paid sale appears in Orders: date, the buyer's name and e-mail, the delivery address, the products bought with their quantity, price and the buyer's note, and the total (shipping included). Orders can be read, not changed; only the site's owner sees them.

Stripe e-mails the receipt to the buyer. It's up to you to ship the parcel to the address given and, if needed, to write to the buyer at their e-mail address.

Refunds and payouts

Everything to do with money happens in your Stripe dashboard: refunding an order (find it by its Paiement Stripe, the Stripe payment shown in the order), following payouts to your bank account, downloading your statements. A refund doesn't raise the stock: correct it in the product if the piece comes back.
