Using Zipify Page Templates
Once you know which type of Zipify pages you want to use, you can choose one of the templates and start building your landing page.
Let’s take a look at creating a sales page using the “New Product Announcement Sales Page” template.
First, click on “Use Template” then give your new landing page a name. You can add tags to help you identify and segment your pages in your dashboard.
After clicking “Create”, you’ll be taken to the drag-and-drop builder where you can begin to modify the template.
Each section, such as the Header, Counter, Shop Buttons, and Footer, can be rearranged and modified by hovering over the top left of the dashboard.
If you don’t want to use the Header and Footer design in the template, you can choose to show the native style from your Shopify theme.
To activate your Shopify theme’s Header and Footer go to SETTINGS >> Layout >> Use theme header/footer >> YES >> SAVE.
After activating your native theme’s header and footer, you can click on the trash can to delete the template’s header and footer. When your landing page goes live, your native theme will be displayed.
Changing any of the elements on the Zipify Pages template is quite easy. All you have to do is scroll over the items in each section and click on the small pencil in the top right corners.
Changing Text Boxes:
Changing Images:
Note: Be sure to add ALT Text to your image — this helps search engines understand your pages better.
When you are satisfied with the changes made to the Zipify Pages template, you can hit “Publish” and your page will go live.

Drawbacks of Zipify Pages
Typically, when you are provided a free trial for a service, you have access to all the features available. With a 14-day free Zipify Pages trial, you only have access to their Basic Plan. Some landing page templates, blog pages, and split tests are only available in the Plus Plan. This is why we recommend signing-up directly on Zipify’s website instead of through Shopify’s App Store. This will give you access to all the features of the Plus Plan so you can check if you need them, without risk thanks to the generous 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
At the moment, there are only 16 landing page templates available in the Basic Plan.
Also, when you browse the templates, you only get to see how many times the template was used and a few related keywords. It would be nice to see links to case studies or examples as to how these templates have worked (i.e. for 8-figure eCommerce sites).
Final Thoughts on Zipify Pages
There are not many drawbacks to using Zipify Pages because it does provide complete customization without having to hire expensive web developers.
Zipify Pages offers a very easy drag-and-drop page builder and that can be customized with a few single clicks. Perhaps what makes Zipify Pages most exciting is the templates based on what has worked for successful 8-figure eCommerce stores. Copying the style and approach while adding the right alterations to fit your own audience could yield incredible returns.
Overall, we believe Zipify Pages can be of a tremendous help to Shopify store owners, both to boost their sales and improve the user experience. And, since anyone can start with a 14-day free trial or a straightforward 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, there’s nothing to lose and only profits to be made! Just make sure you cancel your subscription if you are not happy with the results.
