Blog

Blog: write, design and publish right inside your store

Give your shop a voice. Share news, tutorials, behind-the-scenes stories and product spotlights on a blog that matches your store, with no separate site and no extra software. Write the way you like: a full visual editor, or drag-and-drop blocks.

✍️ Two ways to write

• 🖋 Visual editor. Fonts, sizes, colors, lists, tables, links, buttons, video and pictures. Upload a picture or pick one from your library
• 🧱 Block builder. Drag blocks into place: cover, heading, text, picture, gallery, columns, button, quote, video, callout, product card and spacer
• 🛍 Product cards. Drop a product from your store into any post and send readers straight to the sale
• 👀 Live preview before you publish

🎨 Make every post look right

• 📐 Six post layouts: standard, wide, sidebar, hero, magazine and minimal. Pick one per post
• 🖼 Three blog list styles: grid of cards, list with pictures at the side, or magazine with a big first post
• 🔤 Set the look in one place. Blog fonts, text size, accent color, card style (soft shadow, thin border or flat), content width and posts per page
• 📌 Banner picture and intro line at the top of your blog
• 📱 Looks good on phones, tablets and desktops

🗂 Keep your posts organized

• 📁 Categories and tags, each with its own page
• 🔎 Search for your readers, plus a sidebar that can show search, categories, tags and recent posts
• 📄 Drafts you can finish later
• ⏰ Scheduled posts. Write now, pick a date and time, and the post goes live on its own
• ➡️ "Keep reading" posts at the bottom of each article to hold readers on your site

💬 Comments you control

• Signed-in customers can comment, so you know who is talking
• Every comment waits for your approval before anyone sees it
• Approve, reject or delete from one list in Admin
• Built-in protection against spam and comment flooding

📈 Built to be found

• 🔍 SEO fields for each post: title, description and a Google preview so you see what searchers will see
• 🗺 Sitemap entries added automatically
• 📡 RSS feed so readers can follow along
• 🔗 Share buttons on every post
• 🧭 Blog link added to your store's header and footer, with link text you choose

🛡 Safe and simple

• Post content is cleaned automatically, so unsafe code never reaches your visitors
• Video embeds work with YouTube and Vimeo only
• Give employees the "Manage Blog" permission without handing over the rest of Admin
• No card or payment details are ever collected or stored
• Your posts live in your own database on your own hosting

Requires Sonicstore 8.26.0 or newer.
