Introducing apps where you can create a community page on SHOPIFY!
With Shopify, you can use it not only as an e-commerce site, but also for a variety of purposes such as a corporate site or a campaign site.
For example, if there were a system on a product introduction site that allowed people considering a purchase and those who have already purchased to share their experiences, wouldn’t that help increase the purchase rate?
This time, we’ll introduce apps that link community pages to your Shopify site!
What is a community page?
A community page is a place online where people can share and exchange information about common topics.
For example, imagine someone considering a purchase posts a question about their impressions of using a product, and someone who has already purchased it replies—this is the kind of exchange we mean.
Additionally, since posted content can be viewed by others, it is possible to build a community on the page.
The app we are introducing this time is called “Shopicial – Community Forum.”
About “Shopicial – Community Forum”

Shopicial – Community Forum is an app that allows you to easily build forums online.
Instead of creating a page on Shopify, it is designed so that you transfer to a community page you have created yourself via an external link.

About the plans
You can choose from three plans: Basic Plan ($14/month), Standard Plan ($29/month), and Premium Plan ($59/month).
The main differences depending on the plan are the number of users allowed, whether email support is included, whether you can use the mobile app, and whether support is available.
How to use
Install the app, and first you'll need to configure the page settings.
You can install the app from here.

Once the app installation is complete, you can edit your own forum from the admin panel.
Settings in General Settings

Here, you can configure the name and description shown in the forum, email notifications, and language settings.
You can also link Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel.
Settings in Display
You can choose the logo displayed on the page, favicon, top banner, background color, and even the font style.
You can also customize details like button colors and border colors, allowing for a wide range of personalization.
You can also add menus to the top section and set up links to product pages, so using this in conjunction with your EC site should be effective in increasing your purchase rate, don’t you think?

Settings with Template Hooks

By adding code to Shopify, you can include content in the form pages.
Because the title used depends on where it is placed, please check the title for your desired placement on the settings screen.
On other management screens, you can also check content posted by users, so you can respond to questions directly within the page.
Summary
When selling products, providing a place where customers can learn more about the product helps increase their confidence and leads to more purchases.
The “Shopicial – Community Forum” we introduced this time is free to try for the first 7 days. You can create a space for sharing knowledge by setting up a community page, so feel free to give it a try!
