Receiving orders through email is a reliable and straightforward method for managing customer purchases, especially for small businesses and bloggers. It allows for detailed communication and can be easily integrated into your existing Blogger website. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up an efficient email ordering system.
Why Use Email for Orders?
Using email for orders offers several advantages:
- Detailed Communication: Allows for comprehensive exchange of information between you and your customers.
- Documentation: Provides a written record of orders, which can be useful for tracking and resolving issues.
- Accessibility: Most customers are comfortable using email, making the ordering process easy.
Setting Up Email Ordering on Your Blogger Website
Step 1: Log in to the Blogger dashboard then go to Themes
Step 2: Click on the icon next to the Customize button.
Step 3: Install jQuery in your template. Copy the code below and paste it above </head> or <!--</head>--></head> tag.
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js'/>
Step 4: Now let's add some CSS. To do that copy the code below then press Ctrl + F and search for ]]></b:skin> and paste the code above it.
/* Email Form */

.wiki-input-field .wiki-validasi{position:absolute;z-index:2;top:calc(100% + 20px);left:0;background:#09796c;color:rgba(0,0,0,.6);padding:5px 10px;border-radius:3px;font-size:80%;box-shadow:0 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.08);transition:.4s;visibility:hidden;opacity:0;display:inline-block!important}

#nama_produk{display:none}
Step 5: Now you have to place the code inside <body> tag. So you should place it either above <footer> or <body> or wherever you want. It will work as long as you keep its side <body> tag.
<div class='wiki-form-mail'> <div class='form-container'> <div class='wiki-form-header'><span class='form-title'>Email Checkout Form</span><a class='form-close' href='javascript:void' title='Close'><svg viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M19,6.41L17.59,5L12,10.59L6.41,5L5,6.41L10.59,12L5,17.59L6.41,19L12,13.41L17.59,19L19,17.59L13.41,12L19,6.41Z'/></svg></a></div> <span class='input-title'>Your Data</span> <div id='your-data'> <div class='wiki-input-field'><input class='validate' id='mail_nama' name='name' type='text'/><label>Your Name</label></div> <div class='wiki-input-field'><input class='validate' id='mail_nomor' name='phone number' type='number'/><label>Phone Number</label></div> <div class='wiki-input-field'><input class='validate' id='mail_blog' name='blog name' type='text'/><label>Blog Name</label></div> <div class='wiki-input-field'><input class='validate' id='mail_url' name='blog url' type='text'/><label>Blog URL</label></div> </div> <span class='input-title'>Other Data</span> <div class='wiki-input-field'><select class='validate' id='mail_lisensi' name='license'> <option hidden='hidden' selected='selected' value='default'>Select License</option> <option value='1'>Personal Package</option> <option value='2'>Reseller Package</option> </select></div> <div class='wiki-input-field'><select class='validate' id='mail_pembayaran' name='payment'> <option hidden='hidden' selected='selected' value='default'>Payment Method</option> <option value='1'>PayPal</option> <option value='2'>GoPay</option> <option value='3'>Credit Card</option> <option value='4'>Debit Card</option> <option value='5'>VISA Card</option> </select></div> <a class='wiki-btn-mail send_form' href='javascript:;' title='Send Product Information' type='submit'>SEND</a></div></div>
Step 6: Now place the code below under <data:post.body/>. There could be more than 1 of these codes. So place it under the last one. That should be the correct one where you need to paste this code. If it doesn't work then try others.
<div id='nama_produk'><data:post.title/></div>
Step 7: The last step is to place the code below above </body> tag in your template. Make sure you replace the email with your actual email address.
