Add product cards to the email

Product cards let you display shoppable cards featuring your products in your emails.

To add product cards to your email, select this option from the +Insert menu at the top of the screen:

Adding product cards to the email

Set up the product cards

In the product cards settings, click +Add product to add a product to the card. Next, enter the link you want to assign to the card (usually, it’s the link to the product page), select a product image, and enter the product details:

Setting up the product card

If you’re on Shopify, you’ll be able to select a product directly from your store’s database. This will save you time because the product details will be fetched from the store.

As a Shopify user, you’ll be able to assign 3 different actions to the CTA button:

  • Open product page,
  • Buy now
  • Add to cart

Style the cards

Once you’ve added all the products, proceed to style your cards using the controls on the right panel:

Choose the number of columns per row and select an image ratio: square images, portrait images, or the original image format. Use the ‘Alignment’ control to align the text of the cards to one side or center it.

Adjust the image corner radius and button corner radius to match the design of the rest of the email. Use the Square buttons to select the corners that you wish to round.

Lastly, choose the color theme for your product cards.

To further customize the appearance of your product cards, take advantage of the container settings.

When you’re satisfied with your work, Save & close the email.

Alternative uses for product cards

Products aren’t the only use case for cards. You can also use product cards to feature blog articles, services, upcoming events, and anything else.
