Hi, I’ve come across what seems a perplexing limitation to the premium store ap, and that is the inability to customise product pages with a different soundcloud playlist for each product (in this case music CDs, the playlists are samples of each track). Obviously you can only input text (not embed code) for each product and adding the soundcloud ap on the product page displays the SAME playlist on every product, which is not what I need. Is there a way to do this?
Incidentally, what would be even better is if the music distribution ap (which is otherwise great) allowed the customer to choose between download or physical CD, and that way the samples would come from the site’s own player.
Many thanks in advance for any advice if there is an obvious solution.
Hey
you will need to create a data collection for soundcloud lists and then add a reference to the stores products to know which product the list should display on. Then add it on the product page, use getProduct to get product Id and then look up the list in your new data collection and done
Many thanks for your help Andreas. I’m just having a go at doing that, sorry if this is a naive question, but when creating the data collection, wouldn’t I need “field type” to include html if the playlist is to display? Or will a URL work?
I would guess the url you want to display in the html component would be good enough so you can connect them later on.
HI Andreas, apologies to necro here but I’m the same situation as OP was and having trouble interpreting your advice.
I’ve created a Soundcloud data collection but specifically how can I now “Add it on the product page” ?
I’m generally coding naive since everything moved on from bog standard HTML so apologies if a stupid question.
Cheers
Add a question above in response to Adreas if anyone else can help?
Andreas isn’t around anymore. You have to add an iframe to your store’s product page. If you need a working embed code, feel free to email me , as I’m not sure assigning src is the best option or will even work.
