SwimOutlet Team Store Options on Your SwimTopia Team Site

» Note: You can only connect one SwimOutlet Team Store to your SwimTopia team site (for those teams that have more than one).

➧ Option 1: Display your "SwimOutlet Team Store" on a New Page

➧ Option 2: Add the "SwimOutlet Team Store" Snippet to Existing Pages

» Tip: The SwimOutlet Team Store snippet looks best when placed in a full-page template with no sidebar, but can be placed on the main page area (i.e. Page Content) or sidebar area (i.e. Template Content) and the display will change based on the width of the area. ➞ See Page Layouts & Templates to learn how you can create template layouts to designate for each of your web pages.

These options are not mutually exclusive - create a SwimOutlet Team Store Page AND display your team store link on any page of your team site (using the SwimOutlet Team Store snippet) to ensure parents have quick access to purchase team gear and spirit wear.

» Note: ➞ See the Already have a SwimOutlet Team Store? section below if your team is already set up with a SwimOutlet Team Store. Continue below if you do not.

Covered in this Section: 

• New SwimTopia Teams (as of March 2022)
• Existing SwimTopia Teams (prior to March 2022)

➧ New SwimTopia Teams (as of March 2022):

New SwimTopia team sites already incorporate the Team Store in the header bar with the SwimOutlet Team Store (containing the SwimOutlet Team Store snippet), and Example Online Store (additional merchandising, fundraising, and donations managed by the team) pages nested underneath to guide you down the path of merchandising success! Both pages are optional and must be configured to be used.

Step 1: Click on the Create Team Store button which is the link between your SwimTopia site and Swimoutlet.com. 

Step 2: Click on their Create Team Store button to continue the process of setting up your store, or the Contact Us button if you wish to speak to a SwimOutlet representative first.

» Note: You will need a TIN (Tax Identification Number) to receive payouts, but this is not required for initial setup. SwimTopia has no control over the information required to create a SwimOutlet Team Store. If you have questions about what is required, reach out to SwimOutlet directly (1-800-469-7132 Teams@SwimOutlet.com). 

➧ Existing SwimTopia Teams (prior to March 2022):

Existing SwimTopia teams can create a new page to highlight your SwimOutlet Team Store and can add the snippet to any existing page. If already using the Online Store, we suggest creating a top-level "Team Store" page for your header and nest your Online Store and a new "SwimOutlet Team Store" page (containing the SwimOutlet Team Store snippet) under this header page. 

Step 1: Determine Your Page Setup

To highlight your SwimOutlet Team Store, we suggest that you create a new page on your team site (i.e. "SwimOutlet Team Store"). ➞ See Creating and Editing Pages

» Tip: The SwimOutlet Team Store snippet looks best when placed in a full-page template with no sidebar, but can be placed anywhere on the main page area (i.e. Page Content) or sidebar area (i.e. Template Content) and the display will change based on the width of the area. ➞ See Page Layouts & Templates to learn how you can create template layouts to designate for each of your web pages.

If you already use the Online Store feature, we suggest you create a new page to use as your top-level "Team Store" page in the header bar and nest your "SwimOutlet Team Store" and "Online Store" under this top-level page.

Step 2: Set Up Your SwimOutlet Team Store

After your pages are set up, or if you just want to add the SwimOutlet Team Store snippet to your existing Online Store and/or other pages on your site, you will take the following steps:

➧ Select Edit Page Content or Edit Template Content (depending on where you want to add your SwimOutlet Team Store) from your "Welcome..." menu (top right)

➧ Select to +Add Snippet

➧ Drag the SwimOutlet Team Store snippet into your page.

➧ Click on Learn more and create a SwimOutlet team store.
