Storefront

Written by Ludwig Hedlund

Your storefront is an intelligent media-kit that enables you to showcase yourself to potential sponsors and sell sponsorships + other products. You can build, edit, and design your storefront in the Storefront Editor.

Your storefront is made up of several building blocks - therefore we call these blocks. 😉 There are 4 main types of blocks: channel blocks, sponsorship blocks, link blocks and content blocks. You can create any of these via the ‘+ Add’ button at the top of the Storefront Editor. Let’s check them out below!

Channel blocks

You can use a channel block to showcase a channel (e.g. Newsletter, Youtube, Instagram) that you offer sponsorships or other products for. Here you can describe your channel, link to your channel, and showcase your channel stats so that sponsors know everything they need to book a sponsorship.

Add your stats

Once you’ve created a channel you need to add stats. This will help you convert more sponsors in your storefront and also improve your discoverability in our ad network. Better stats, better deals.

You can either add stats manually or connect your channels with our Live Stats feature. You’ll find both choices when you add a channel.

Rest assured, when you connect live stats we simply read and display your stats in your storefront - we do not access or manage your accounts. Live stats are currently available for Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, Beehiiv, LinkedIn and X.

Substack is no longer supported. But, if you have a Substack channel, you can add your numbers manually.

Live Stats refresh about every two weeks, except Beehiiv, which refreshes every 24 hours: Your numbers can be up to two weeks behind what you see on the platform itself, and that is normal.

Manual stats never refresh: They stay at the number you typed until you change it.

If you are connecting to Beehiiv: if you have not yet done so, you’ll need to confirm your Beehiiv account with Stripe Identity Verification (learn how here). Then you will be able to fetch your API key in Beehiiv (learn how here). Beehiiv stats update regularly ever 24 hours.

If you are adding stats manually we suggest the best stats to include in the side menu for you:

LinkedIn

You can now connect LinkedIn through our official integration - the same way you connect your other Live Stats channels.

Instead of adding numbers by hand, your LinkedIn stats are pulled in and kept up to date automatically.

Connect your LinkedIn account

  • Open the Storefront Editor.

  • Click + Add and select your LinkedIn channel, or open the LinkedIn channel block you already have.

  • Click Connect LinkedIn.

  • Authorize access in the LinkedIn window.

Why connect LinkedIn:

  • Verified stats — your LinkedIn metrics show as verified on your storefront, so partners know the numbers are accurate and pulled straight from the source.

  • 📊 Verified impressions in your reports — impressions on your sponsored LinkedIn posts are tracked automatically and shown in your post reports, with no manual entry.

  • 🔎 Better discoverability — verified, up-to-date stats help you rank better and get found by more brands searching our network.

  • 🔄 Kept up to date - once connected, your stats refresh on their own, so you never have to type them again.

To connect, add or select your LinkedIn channel and click Connect LinkedIn, then authorize access — just like any other Live Stats channel.

Upgrading your stats

Live or manual: how to change it

You choose Live Stats or manual stats when you add a channel block. To switch a channel from manual to Live Stats, follow the demo below.

You cannot convert a single stat from live to manual. A live stat comes from your connected account, so the edit button on it is disabled.

If a live stat shows the wrong number, you have two options.

Replace one stat

  • Click the bin icon on the stat card to delete the live stat

  • Add a new stat and type the correct number yourself

Remove all live stats for that channel

  • Open the Storefront Editor

  • Open the channel block and go to the link field

  • Click the disconnect icon next to the connected account

  • Confirm in the dialog

This removes every live stat from that block. Your manual stats stay where they are, and you can add new manual stats after that.

You do not need to delete the channel block or create a new one.

We have significantly enhanced our data structure to improve the discoverability of your storefronts to partners, streamlining navigation and access while increasing the visibility and reach of your storefronts. If you have manual stats but want to upgrade them to Live Stats, check out the demo below on how to do this in the storefront editor:

You can customize your storefront analytics by selecting the stats you want displayed on your storefront and edit or delete them as needed.

Why your storefront numbers might look wrong

If your numbers are lower than the real ones

First, check if the block uses Live Stats or manual stats. Manual stats never update on their own. If you typed the numbers, you have to type the new ones.

Live Stats refresh about every two weeks, so your numbers can be up to two weeks behind. Wait a full two weeks before you report a problem.

"There was an error verifying your channel"

This means we could not verify the channel you entered, so the block cannot connect to Live Stats.

Try this:

  1. Paste the full channel URL, not the channel name.

  2. Check that the channel is public.

  3. If it still fails, create the block with manual stats and enter your numbers by hand.

If none of this works, contact us and include the exact error message and your channel URL.

You cannot delete a channel

If the channel has packages attached to it, you cannot delete it. Delete the packages first, or hide the channel instead. Hiding removes it from your public storefront and keeps your packages intact.

When to contact us

Contact us if your Live Stats numbers have not moved in over a month, or if the verification error keeps coming back after you tried the steps above.Send your storefront link, the channel, and what the correct number should be.

💡 Sponsorship blocks

You can use a sponsorship block to create a productized sponsorship that a partner can book. There are 3 main types of sponsorships: products, packages, multi-product packages.

Creating a Product

A product is a single unit of a sponsorship. For example: 1 sponsored post on Instagram or 1 sponsored Newsletter. To create one either hit ‘Add Single Product’ in the add block menu, or click on the channel you want to create a product for and then create it in the sidebar. Check out how we create a Pre-Roll Ad product below:

Creating a Package

You can upsell your partners by offering packages of the same product. Not only does this help you sell more, but also save time. For example, instead of selling one sponsored ad in your newsletter, you can sell 5 sponsored ads with a 20% discount. You can see this in action below:

Creating a Multi-Product Package

If you want to offer a more comprehensive package deal that spans multiple products and channels, you can create a Multi-Product Package. Below we create a package of products from our Newsletter, Podcast, and Instagram:

Link Blocks

You can use a link block as a link-in-bio element. This allows you to link to anything you like whether it be your Gumroad store, donation box, or other things you want to share.

Content blocks

You can use content blocks to personalize your page in any way you like! Many creators use these to showcase content to impress potential sponsors.
