Options for customizing your product descriptions.

The Product Description field is used mainly for online businesses. The description is factored into SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so they should be written knowing that each description will be publicly available on BigCommerce, Shopify, and WooCommerce.

Descriptions can also be used for taking notes, but just be aware that connecting an e-commerce integration will push the description field.

For Square Online users:

Square has updated how it handles Square Online listings, which affects how we sync images and descriptions. You might need to tweak your workflow while we make updates to support this change.

Formatting

Text formatting like bold and italics can be applied. You can also create links, bullet points, numbered lists, etc.

Images

You can link additional product images in the description. Just paste in the image address. Thrive does not host those images on our end but we reference the link in order to display the corresponding image.

Videos

Videos can also be linked. Just get the shareable URL. (For example, https://youtu.be/vNYl6ZdLRMM) Once that's pasted, Thrive will automatically embed it into the Product Description and send it out. 

HTML

To enter HTML, use the "Source Code" editor at the far right of the options at the top of the Product Description. 

Tables

Need to insert a table for some additional clarification for your product? We've got you covered there too.


Things to Note:

  • We only sync plain text to Square, so any formatting (other than white space) is lost when we sync to your Square dashboard.
