My Store | Embed your 1.0 online store in your website

Make your products available for purchase on your website. Embed your 1.0 store in your website or link it with a 'Shop Now' button.

The ability to embed your full store is only functional for Local Line 1.0 stores. If you have migrated to a 2.0 store, your store may appear to be embedded but is not functional and your customers cannot successfully check out. You must replace your embed with a redirect to your 2.0 store.

The embed feature is supported by third-party cookies, and all major web browsers are in the process of phasing third-party cookies out. As a result, this feature will gradually become unstable and eventually no longer work.

The instructions in this article are for embedding your Local Line store into a website that is hosted by an online platform, like Wordpress. 

For instructions on how to embed your Local Line store into your Local Line website that was built using our free website builder tool, see Embed your 1.0 online store in your Local Line website.
