Elements: Building Blocks of UltraCart StoreFronts

UltraCart StoreFronts Elements are the essential building blocks that power the flexibility and functionality of the UltraCart StoreFronts platform. With over 500 pre-designed elements available, you can seamlessly integrate product data, user data, and other key features across multiple storefronts. Each element offers unique capabilities to optimize your online shopping experience.

Below is an overview of key element categories and their functionality:

Grid Elements

Grid elements establish the foundation for your storefront’s structure and layout. These are the primary containers for content and other elements, enabling you to create visually appealing and organized eCommerce storefronts.

Item and Item List Elements

Item and Item List elements allow you to embed item properties and data directly into your storefront. You can feature individual items, item sets, or specific attributes like titles, prices, discounts, and more. This makes it easy to showcase your products dynamically, ensuring your storefront remains highly customizable and engaging.

Checkout Elements

Take control of your eCommerce checkout process with powerful checkout elements. These components let you embed checkout forms and functionalities anywhere within your storefront. Customize the checkout experience to suit your business needs and guide customers through a seamless purchasing journey.

Content

Content elements let you embed universal site attributes, integrated web chat, and more into your storefront. These elements ensure your website remains interactive and connected with customers.

Logic Elements

Logic elements empower you to dynamically display or hide content on your storefront based on specific conditions. For example:

  • Show or hide items based on a user's geo-location.
  • Display content conditionally, such as highlighting items in the cart.

With endless possibilities, Logic elements help you create a personalized shopping experience for your customers.

Blog Elements

Integrate blog content effortlessly into your storefront. Use Blog Post elements to:

  • Build a dedicated blog page.
  • Embed individual posts dynamically across your storefront based on tags or categories.

Blog elements are perfect for creating contextually relevant content that supports your products and improves customer engagement.

A/B Testing

Want to optimize your storefront? Wrap specific elements in an A/B Testing component to test their performance. You can quickly analyze what works best without rebuilding entire pages, making it easier to improve user engagement and boost conversions.

Page Elements

Use Page Elements to manage and call specific attributes, such as text and media, handled through the UltraCart backend. These are ideal for streamlining content updates without navigating directly through the Visual Builder.

Off-Page Elements

Off-Page elements include components like modals, side panels, alert dialogs, and upsell features. These elements can be triggered by user actions, page loads, or specific conditions (e.g., one-time upsell offers). They’re perfect for engaging customers at key moments in their shopping journey.

User Account Elements

Build user-friendly account management pages with User Account elements. You can use pre-built account sections or fully customize your own. Allow customers to manage orders, track reviews, and access personalized content directly from your storefront.

Navigation Elements

Design and implement universal navigation menus with Navigation elements. Create mega menus or embed individual navigation components for a streamlined shopping experience. These elements enhance site usability and make it easy for customers to explore your products.

Advanced Elements

For technical users and developers, Advanced elements allow the integration of custom scripts and Velocity templates. This feature provides limitless possibilities for creating highly customized and innovative storefront functionalities.

Sharing and Reusing Custom Elements

Save time and effort by reusing custom elements across your storefronts. Add elements to your library for quick access, or download and upload them directly through the StoreFronts interface. This makes sharing and deploying custom components seamless, ensuring consistent branding and functionality across all your online stores.

By leveraging the extensive range of UltraCart StoreFronts Elements, you can create a responsive, dynamic, and modern eCommerce storefront tailored to your business needs. These elements empower you to deliver an exceptional online shopping experience while optimizing performance and usability.

Responsive Layout Control

Visually adjust the width of each column without the need to learn complex frameworks. This feature ensures your eCommerce storefront is optimized for mobile devices, tablets, and desktops, providing a seamless shopping experience across all platforms.
