Here you will find the essential prerequisites for editing a shop and learn which technical options WEBSALE provides for this.

This section is aimed at developers and web designers who want to familiarize themselves with WEBSALE’s technical structure and customize the shop in a targeted way.

Overview

  • Everything for the start — Before a WEBSALE online shop can be individually customized, some basic prerequisites are required. This page explains which technical and administrative access is necessary to begin editing.
  • Best Practice Shop — The WEBSALE Best Practice Shop, also known as the delivery shop, is provided when you purchase a WEBSALE online shop and serves as the starting point for the individual design of the future shop. It contains a starter design and a basic configuration tailored specifically to the requirements of a German B2C shop.
  • Template theme — The design of the storefront in WEBSALE is flexible and allows for individual customizations, but requires advanced expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unlike other shop systems, WEBSALE does not offer ready-made designs or drag-and-drop builders. Instead, web designers and frontend developers work directly with the HTML templates, CSS, and JavaScript files to implement the desired design.
  • Template engine — The WEBSALE template language offers a powerful and flexible way to individually design the frontend of an online shop. Dynamic content such as product or user data can be seamlessly embedded in HTML templates, and language-dependent texts or complex conditions can be taken into account.
  • Configuration via code — In addition to the input masks and buttons in the Admin Interface, with which a WEBSALE online shop can be configured via a graphical user interface, it is possible to specifically overwrite or extend these settings through configuration via code.
